I get what you mean. Ofc class struggle has brought us many concessions, technology progresses over time and the industrialized countries add more and more abstraction layers to manual work.

My point would be that we do have to view the working conditions relative to what's possible at the given time. Given the resources humanity has today, fully automated luxury (queer) space communism is within realistic reach!

It's a similar answer as to world hunger: it's a systematic distribution - not resource - problem. That being artificially created scarcity thanks to a profit and greed driven economic base (capitalism) and inequitable/inefficient allocation of resources (markets)

Yes of course and eating trash is better than eating shit

Ofc the rus. pronounciation aka. ППШ

PPSH obviously

AdNauseam, rly great tool for fighting invasive ads (since it doesn't click on "do not track"/privacy respecting banners)

revolutionary violence can not stem from reactionary fundamentalist organizations

"But all I'm know for is this one line...."

are those "hot boxes" in the room with us right now?

US-based meaning 3 letter agencies can get your data without a court order and that you aren't protected by the GDPR if you don't live in the EU

better than the absolutely deranged MM/DD/YYYY and imo the best when it comes to international communication

I read "serious furry and punishment" at first 💀💀

Grub moment

except when a definitely not homoerotic pair of hobbits drops a teeny tiny ring into lava, making practically all of Mordor collapse

they are the biggest handsome rings I have ever seen ✋ 🤚

you are right ofc. "relatively progressive" would have been more accurate. And I was thinking of the positive depictions of healthy (aka. non-toxic) masculinity as well the handling of gender roles

Tolkiens humor is best described as subtle but mighty imo. I still chuckle a bit when thinking about the conversation between Bilbo and Gandalf at the beginning of the Hobbit. And even the prelude to the story has funny little details as well as the anecdote by Gandalf of how Golf was invented later on

Well, career politicians are only acting in the interests of the ruling class. I find that despite his catholicism Tolkien was quite progressive

a well forged play of words
