Capitalism breeds innovation

I think it’s much easier to discover new content on Lemmy.

Perhaps this site is a good source of training data?

I think it is both. People are naturally the most revolutionary in times of crisis and struggle. It is the conditions which are created by the capitalist system that make the people feel that the system they live under is untenable, especially with rapid changes in conditions as experienced during financial crises. Many within the bourgeoise study the instability of capitalism in order to protect their capital or to profit from it.

From OP:

The Biden administration has been doing everything in their power to reign in Israel, push for ceasefire, and negotiate deals to save hostages. But sure, he’s totally “pro-warcrimes.”

He’s done so much to obtain a ceasefire that his leadership was the only one to veto a ceasefire at the UN Security Council!

If capitalism is so bad then how come living conditions are worse in the exploited global south whose nations are targeted, exploited and destabilised by the imperialist core?

Same dumbass line of questioning.

They just deleted their account.

A large part of the reason I prefer discussions on Lemmy over Reddit is that people will actually engage with you rationally on this site. How is it enjoyable to engage with patronising people who only pretend to address your arguments? If a Lib wandered over to Lemmygrad they’d be told why they’re wrong instead of just being immediately banned by mods or told to formally fuck off or some shit.

Geopolitics replaces class struggle with the struggle between nations, which is obviously reactionary to everyone who understands Marxism

Who actually sits and types that nobody is allowed to analyze any relationship between nations or else they’re a fascist? That’s clearly class reductionism to me.

I feel really irritated by this human shields narrative, mostly because it is so stupid and baseless that I honestly don’t know how to address people who believe it. I feel the same way now as I did when the world was bombarded with this crap in 2014.

How can anyone read into any aspect of the conflict on any day and come to the honest conclusion that the IDF’s campaign is justified, all because every Palestinian civilian fatality is a “human shield”? How come I’ve never heard a Zionist provide a concrete definition of a human shield?

Human shields have been used in conflicts before. The example that comes to mind for me is in former Yugoslavia when Bosnian Serb forces held UN peacekeepers as hostages inside barracks to deter NATO from bombing them. That is a legitimate example of a human shield. In this example, the hostages deterred bombing, and there were also negotiations which took place to secure the release of those UN hostages.

In contrast in Gaza, any civilian who dies from a bombing is retrospectively labelled as a “human shield”, and most of the time no information is provided as to who the target of the bombing was, nor whether civilians were forced to remain in the vicinity of said target. We are just expected to believe that all hit buildings surrounding the hospitals they terrorise contained a legitimate military target. Same with bakeries. Same with ambulances. Same with refugee camps. Surely that is evidence enough that they’re not human shields? If the Israeli forces are not deterred by these “human shields”, then they either cease to be or never were, human shields.

Whenever they drop a bomb, the whole world is just expected to believe that the civilian wasn’t a civilian, or that the building was a Hamas base, or that it contained rockets, or that there was a tunnel entrance inside the building, or that there is a tunnel somewhere underneath it, or that it was used to fire rockets. The term “human shield” in this context has something to do with skewing the validity of all of the victims.

I’m glad that the prisoners are being offered heightened bodily autonomy through the amazing opportunity of having their organs and blood extracted from their bodies at threat of longer incarceration, for the benefit of the free people.

Can women access safe abortions? Or is that only if their doctors feel like ending up incarcerated too?

Now the world can come and bring them anything they want. You want to bring them electricity? I’m not gonna feed them electricity or water to my enemies. If anyone else wants, that’s fine. I’m not responsible for them.

Also Israel: https://twitter.com/Sinaifhr/status/1711723120648745276

Yeah absolutely, Zionists argue in bad faith. It’s exactly what they did Jeremy Corbyn. They deliberately conflate anticolonialism, anti-imperialism, and anti-Zionism with hatred of Jews. If they can convince people that Israel is “the only democracy in the Middle East” with “the most moral army in the world”, they can convince people that those campaigning against their human rights abuses are antisemitic liars.

Maybe the end solution is a distributed system

I think this already exists and is called PeerTube. In my experience it doesn’t work very well.

Here are a few links in case anyone wants an easier to read version of those images.

How will Trudeau manage to push back against Putin’s claims that NATO countries and Zelensky support Nazis, after they have applauded SS members in parliament though?

I agree, I do think the optics of being seen by the whole world applauding SS members responsible for participating in genocide is bad. Because it actually is really, really bad.

This post seems ridiculous to me. If you would like to know why your employees are unhappy then why would you ask random strangers on the internet why they are leaving your company? If your (or anyone’s) workplace culture discourages employees to air grievances then you aren’t entitled to know why they would like to switch companies. Most likely, I think that young people don’t wish to be percieved or talked about as whiny (or any other words you can use), in the event that they raise issues which management or colleagues view as unimportant or inconsequential for the company. I’m also curious as to how you know that your Millennial team members are happy, as opposed to working just because they need the money and don’t see better opportunities elsewhere.

Lots of freedom and democracy there…

I remember when apple put out a software update to intentionally throttle the phone’s processor, to save charge on it’s irreplacable battery. I hope this prevents companies doing this sort of shit as well.

Wow, I sure am glad that the kerb is there to protect those blades of grass!
