Nope, I support capital punishment specifically for politicians. If you don’t want to have the potential of being sentenced to death don’t become a politician and do corrupt shit

Crimes against humanity is a once off global trial, and economic restructuring would hopefully prevent this from happening again.

The state should be in charge of infrastructure (phone, electricity, roads, water etc) but not personal business, it should however have the power to intervene and break up monopolies (See RCA in America) these services should be free for all by using the public fund taken from the ultrarich

Economic restructuring would have to make people redundant since by default a lot of jobs are actually pointless, so a service that acts in the interest of everyone is a good foundation to make sure these people are cared for.

And not a problem, it’s all good for us to disagree but you’ve missed the forest for the trees here my friend.

The people who conspired to suppress the known damages of fossil fuels and actively suppressed any forms of new material/energy development so that they could line their pockets should be tried for crimes against humanity and possibly executed

Nearly all governmental types (westminister system for example) are from a bygone era and antiquated, massive reforms need to happen to bring these systems in line with todays increase in population and technology advancement

Civil asset forfeiture should be applied to all those who have wealth well beyond the common person, this money should be put into a national trust and used for socialist improvements for the general populace

Publicly listed companies/shareholder systems need to be discarded entirely as they prioritise wealth generation over everything else

Infrastructure needs be nationalised in a transparent for the people way

Corruption on the political level should be penalized with execution

Land shouldn’t be commodified to prevent our current day neofeudalism

A conscription like service for battling climate change should be enacted, nearly all “bullshit jobs” should effectively be made redundant by economic restructuring and these people are recruited to work on the problem that affects literally all of us

We should have post-scarcity/UBI as a goal to work towards

Aand that’s why I’m just some guy not a politician :)

Yeah I’m radicalized and I don’t follow this.

I treat people how they like to be treated.

The closed source and ‘no external contact’ gives me the willies, what if it’s putting a localised database on your device and some other google app is sending it off?

You can get put away for years for messing with malware but as long as you’re a giant business it’s cool

Somewhat, it seems reasonable for one to throw their life away if they come to the conclusion that it has no meaning or purpose yet they are constrained by human nature to search for it.

Camus argues that we should revolt against this and embrace life regardless of how meaningless it is, he uses Sisyphus as a comparison to the absurdity of all this, pushing the boulder up the hill and watching it fall back down again is the only life, a meaningless one, that Sisyphus knows yet he is still able to find purpose in it and revolt against the gods.

He ends the essay on this note:

“The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart, one must imagine Sisyphus happy”

Camus is a bad arse and one of my favourite philosphers, although I wouldn’t quite call myself absurdist the Myth of Sisyphus has helped me in my dark times immensely

Yeah don’t trust us, we’ve gutted all forms of STEM that aren’t directly related to digging shit out of the ground for Gina Rinehart and co

Serious intellectual brain drain in this country now, we really are the US 10 years ago, hopefully the US explodes enough to stop all our idiots blindly following their jingoism to our doom

Do you mean woo-woo shit or conspiracy shit? Or both?

Over approximately 15 million people die every year from preventable causes (famine, resource restrictions etc) even though we produce enough resources to cover all these people several times over.

If we take the grand total of deaths from communist societies/involvement since WW1 we reach a figure of 100 million (pretty fucked up I’m not supporting communist regimes here)

That means our capitalist society reaches this 100 million death figure approximately every 6 years. It’s probably the most effective killing machine on the planet, and it only cost us putting the entire planet in a mass extinction event.

It frustrates me that possibly one of the best paths forward for humanity is to dismantle our current power/class systems and move our society to a post-scarcity system (not capitalism or communism whose foundations are based on distributing limited resources)

My understanding is that even if you learn COBOL, you’d struggle to understand legacy systems since they have their quirks from a bygone era

Clementine Ford comes to mind for me, she’s a feminist author I found her writing pretty interesting and didn’t disagree with a lot of it especially since it touches on issues that are interlaced with Australian culture

But she also throws out a lot inflammatory shit like tweeting ‘COVID isn’t killing men fast enough’ or doxxing people

It just doesn’t help to get the point across (especially to those who think it’s “woke”) and when anything is actually discussed this sort of behaviour is used as ammunition to hinder any meaningful progress.
