There is no point in capping fiber speeds. Either that capacity is in use or it isn't. It isn't like water, where a resource is depleted from usage.

Aside from that, I agree with your concept of the government providing all the essentials. Capitalism is great for providing products that suit a person's individuality, but it sucks at ensuring the survival and wellbeing of people.

Hm. Maybe I should buy Trump and Musk "We did that." stickers, and add them to price tags while shopping? After all, they shut down the agencies meant to control bird flu, meat inspection, and so many other things...

I have been converting my life savings into Euros. I expect all currencies to lose value due to America imploding, but I expect the American Dollar to become a Weimer scenario: Burned for fuel, and wagons of cash stolen, minus the cash. If Muskcoin X Everything becomes a thing, I want my finances to be aligned with democracies in Europe, not Fascist America.

I want DOGE to be put to sleep.

I guess that Musk and Trump will be fashionable names in underworld Mexico a decade from now. You can't go much lower than these two. "I am sending Trump across the border to smuggle ketamine to Musk."

Thanks for the assist. :)

That is what the "block community" button is for. I enjoy hentai media, which has a wide assortment of flavors. Including permutations of furry porn.

If nothing else, at least Magats won't be able to hide their gold there anymore.

I am hoping that Europe works with Blue States and cuts out the Red States with trade deals and cooperation in general. As a so-called 'diplomat' put it "The donkey needs to be hit with a 2x4". Helping the Blue States thrive while encouraging the Red States to collapse would go a long way towards averting or mitigating WW3.

IMO, the USA having a secession crisis might actually be healthier in the long run. Right now, we got a bunch of conservative states trying to move the Overton Window of the Blue States over a fascist cliff. Unfettered capitalism and all that comes with it, can't be fixed. Only replaced, and for such an overhaul, you can't have conservatives muddying the waters with their shit.

Question: is there such a thing as an "True Neutral" Lemmy instance that federates with everything by default?

I like AI, but it definitely isn't ready for something so important as governance.

Which is why it is perfect for DOGEbags: They want to break everything, and just say the AI is at fault. Odds are that they will blame gay furry hackers for trying to ruin everything.

I was looking to jot down that quote. It perfectly encapsulates the shitbags who denies vaccinations or the damage that DOGE is doing to humanity.

You might be interested in History of Everything's video, "How? How educated people commit genocide". It is available for free, uncensored, at his Patreon. This is history that should be remembered, so that it can't be repeated.

How? How educated people commit genocide

I disagree about private corporations. Money is no different from that of religion, violence, or any other form of power. So long as you have a large monopoly on these things, you can greatly influence people to speak...or silence them. Reddit traditionally served as a public square, but now we see selective speech being forced upon everybody: Musk good, Luigi bad.

It is one thing to control speech within your personal dwelling, but it is quite another when you are in charge of a service. Should you be allowed to ban gay folk from buying cake? Or prevent a black man dating a white girl from dining at a classy restaurant?

Violence has many permutations, and forcing everyday norms is by far the most corrosive to personal identity and the social fabric.

I am a free speech absolutist. Evil people should say what they want to do...so that I can tell them what will happen if they try to ICE my neighbors. 🔫 🩸

The thing about modern discourse on social media platforms like Reddit, is that bigots get to threaten people all they like. If a good person mentions Luigi or what should happen to Musk, they get banned. THIS is the real threat to democracy.

It is best if the bad guys don't work in secret. They should expose themselves to be monsters early and often, with decent folk making it clear that evil positions deserve equally merciless responses. I think part of why the Republicans have been so successful, is because they feel like "winners" to people who value assertiveness. Democrats almost always holds true to decorum and norms - which gives them the impression of being "weak" losers.

Some people vote for the strong, because by extension, it makes themselves feel strong. I think this explains why some people simply never listen to any amount of reason or evidence - they perceive the world through feelings, not thought. This is why "rough" speaking democrats might hold value in our society, because they can speak the same language, while still holding the values of goodness close to their heart.

To put it simply, a lot of Republicans might cease supporting Trump, if the following entered their mind: "They are stronger than me. I don't want to get punched! Let's stay home."

...it isn't terrific, but I think some people are simply biased towards authority. Be it good or evil.

Thing is, those terrible people don't enjoy the everything that they already own, and don't understand that they are killing cool things in the crib. People make inventions and entertain if they can...because it is fun, and they think they got neat things to show the world. Problem is, prosperity is needed to allow people to have the luxury of trying to create.

The wealthy are murdering the golden geese of culture and technology. They won't be happier for it, and will simply use their chainsaw to keep killing humanity in a desperate wish of finding happiness.

If you talk about the Founding Fathers, specifically regarding treatises on violence. The Tree of Liberty was an autoban for at least a decade now.

If you dare speak on how the Tree of Liberty needs watering with the blood of patriots and tyrants, you get auto-banned. Reddit has been a fascist in sheep's skin for at least a decade.

I don't mind AI. It is simply a reflection of whoever is in charge of it. Unfortunately, we have monsters who direct humans and AI alike to commit atrocities.

We need to get rid of the demons, else humanity as a whole will continue to suffer.

Anywhere the rich gets to have their privilege, inevitably shits the pool.

It is my hope to see a 2nd Constitution, designed to engineer excessive wealth out of existence. It has become clear that too much money drives people insane.
