@Socsa Haha, it's funny how hostile people who call themselves leftists online are to talking about geopolitics or finance. That's what you get when you overinvest your skillpoints in memes and not books š
@CharlesDarwin@Flaxvert I like how people argue about this as if US self defense law condoning people executing their neighbors and shit makes anything right lol
@jordanlund@Socsa You likely would be interested in Michael Hudson's writing on why the US inflates its GDP and why all this stuff is so important to the fed preserving asset inflation to store wealth. Read Killing the Host! https://michael-hudson.com/
@girlfreddy@nonailsleft Just fyi "nonailsleft" lime juice seems to do something enzymatically to the fungus which keeps the nail biting cycle going. Whenever I relapse on picking or biting every few years, lime juice stops it in its tracks.
@guts@catculation He was just in the wrong place. A free speech idealist. You can tell Reddit's other cofounder was never anything like him, and now he's just monstrous. I'd make a limited comparison from Aaron to "Hotwheels", a guy who keeps making imageboards for his free speech ideology, even though he's a communist his sites are mostly used by reactionaries. Similar to Lemmy, actually. A lot of people who use this software despise the ideology of Lemmy's main dev.
@crusa187@MicroWave he is a HERO to people who need to expand the market of the US small arms industry for some reason!!!
how dare you??!!!!! how DARE YOU?!?!?!!!!!
@guts@catculation He was facing federal charges for taking papers and other documents from JSTOR and posting them online for download by using MIT computers. They were really about to hit him with the book. I would look into the details of the case because there is some speculation his suicide was suspicious, but then again his GF said he was depressed and she resented the rumors. That being said, she could have been distraught and wanted closure, or just wrong. A tragedy.
