Nobody owns anything in communism?

Your tools would be destroyed pronto?

Whats with the sneaky nonsense in an otherwise reasonable comment…

There’s wealth disparity and then there’s the wealth chasm of today, the disparity has grown so much in the last couple of decades beyond anything in human history.

The only reason it can is because of capitalism (neoliberalism, late stage capitalism).

The system incentivises and rewards the horrific behaviour that results in the disparity.

Also, pray tell, what are inheritocrats who made all their non-inherited money through stock markets producing?

As far as I can see, they’re not producing anything, but are profiting off the backs of, and at the expense of, those that are producing the value.

Big fan of

"The point of modern propaganda isn’t only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth"

• Garry Kasparov (2015)

That is to say, don’t let them shut you up.

There is a longer, more historical version of this but it escapes me at the moment.

I can only find the Hannah Arendt quote (1974)

“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And [to] such a people… you can do whatever you want.”

But i swear there was one that finished “When the truth is silent, liars can move onto action”

Honestly this is the worst part of Lemmy…

Freaks complaining about imaginary tankies, it’s insane.

Laughed at by nazis because otherwise they’d cry?

Oh, a ‘.world’ user pushing nonsense hateful lies…

What a surprise!

It really doesn’t play out like that though.

Blaming the voter base will never work, and just serves the interest of the right wing steer.

You must hold the dems accountable, and primary them for sure.

But both sides ARE terrible and the dems are highly complicit, it’s not about people ‘buying’ anything, it’s about not rewarding people who happily increase funding to ICE under the current scenario.

You can’t expect fundamentally disenfranchised people to play in a game that’s rigged against good without inspiring them with hope.

Look at Mamdani, there were no candidates in the 2024 election like that. Why? Simple… THERE WAS NO DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

BLAME THE PARTY, who forced this upon us! They lost an easily winnable election, no-one else is half as culpable.

Except if you don’t prosecute them they get more bold and brazen. You can’t really be advocating for some of the worst criminals in history to face no accountability.

Look what’s happening right now in the US, if Biden had properly held Trump accountable we wouldn’t be in this situation.

Where was the peaceful transfer of power?

Seems to me like you just want to excuse insurrection, fraud, pardoning of hundreds of violent criminals and rape of underage girls…

It really doesn’t reduce polarisation, it emboldens the evil perpatrators and has a cooling effect on your support, as seen in the 2024 election.

Blaming voters instead of the party that lost the country is some self fulfilling fascism prophecy.

You can’t expect people to vote for abhorrent policy, and blame them when they don’t…

You just have to have good policy proposal, pretty simple

Aye yeah that’s fair, in that case i’d recommend PeaZip, it’s what I use on my CachyOS setup since 7zip is just cli on Unix. PeaZip has a nice file manager UI.

In terms of yt-dlp it really depends how you installed it…

Assuming you’re in the folder where yt-dlp is:

1. Make it executable

chmod +x yt-dlp

2. Run it directly from the current folder

./yt-dlp --version

If that works, then the binary is fine and it’s just a PATH thing.

I’d recommend just installing it through Homebrew personally, it will sort out the PATH for you automatically.

install Homebrew if you don’t have it (from brew.sh)

then:

brew install yt-dlp yt-dlp --version

Otherwise if you want to make the binary work (if you already have the file or want to download it manually)

Open the folder in terminal and then

move it somewhere on PATH

sudo mv yt-dlp /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

make sure it’s executable

sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

Now whichever way you choose, you should be able to just do:

yt-dlp example.com/video --write-auto-subs

Along with whatever other commands you want to use!
