Not like minded... I'm not opposed to the principles you lay out in your abstract but the monarchy power structure isn't what I'm interested in.

Socialism, communism, and ultimately anarchism are the way forward in my opinion.

I have such a hard time getting used to "positive anymore"

Anyone who's willing to shoot him won't let that stop them

Imagine forcing this into conversation to cry about this so many years later.

Code is a language that can describe all sorts of systems, some of those systems have rigid hierarchies and some of those systems are distributed.

Software development teams also tend to work in collaborative ways, as much as Agile and Scrum development practices are bastardized in many large companies the core philosophies are very worker-empowering.

In the cases where companies use "waterfall" or misuse Agile the culprit seems to be managerial interference or very rigid and important requirements (e.g. a plane software system that must not fail)

I see your point, but per the above I would say it's not universal and I would also counter that software architects have very open-ended solutions to choose from and are used to thinking about a system as a whole, which in my case at least leads me to questioning how our political and social systems can change for the better.

worth noting though that having more muscle mass does impact your daily energy expenditure

You're standpilling my argument.

Anyway I'll drop it and move on but the thread is about critiquing our society by way of movie references, which is on topic for what I'm saying and kinda proves my point.

You're reaching deep into your grab bag of labels. Am I gaslighting you now?

I commented my opinion on the original post and then I employed sarcasm when you accused me of gatekeeping.

My reaction to this thread being all about movie references was to wish we didn't think about our society only in those terms and I shared it.

Guys this isn't activism, this isn't protest, this isn't going to stop fascism. Go outside.

actually I wasn't able to delete OP's post after all

Fair take, and applies in every industry. Basically what I'm trying to say is it's all about capitalism baby. The shit floats

I think you're overlooking all of the free and open source software and people like me who work in the industry and are radical leftists.

The more likely connection here is that these are all rich CEOs....

It'd be pretty dope if we discussed society and politics using political theory and philosophy instead of different kinds of media

Lib brain rot: you missed your chance to vote, there's no other political action. Every victory was won by voting really hard. See you in 4 years.

That's not even the point. This is the same "Jagmeet has a watch"bullshit. Being a party leader level career politician means you're likely in a position of privilege. A single mom with 2 kids isn't gonna be it. That's how the system is set up. I'd rather a rich ally than a rich enemy.

It's what conservative voters respond to. No ideas, just feelings about how things are bad. Actually learning about why things are the way they are and what needs to change is too hard, and less comforting than feeling like they're special and others are the ones keeping them down.

Yes that's another really good point. Any sort of foreign support from Russia or China or Europe that brings weapons in would mean a permanent thorn in their side, Canada wouldn't see peace for decades, if at all. Similar to the quagmire in Afghanistan and Iraq.

That's in addition to how easily we could strike at their home territory in cross border raids, which will be even more unacceptable domestically.

It's the world's longest border, a military defeat is certain but hundreds or thousands of Canadian partisans will easily get through to commit acts of terrorism and sabotage.
