Hi all,

I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

      It’s actually the domain name for Mali, but that’s allright. Just like how be in youtu.be is simply the domain name for Belgium

        some people just like to “know the secret meaning that you dont know but im gonna tell ya”. if youtu.be wouldn’t be on their likening, the .be domain could easily disclose as butt-eating or whatever two word combination would go along as “meaningful” to smear.

            What are your favorite bagels? Good New York bagels are great! I also really enjoy a Montreal bagel sometimes. I’m in Texas where bagels are mostly from national chains or the grocery bakery, which are ok because you can usually get a jalapeno cheddar.

      .ml stands for Mali.

      .ee stands for Estonia.

      .tv stands for Tuvalu

      Just like .ca stands for Canada.

        Why .ee stands for Estonia? Where’s the 2nd e?

      This sounds like a really dumb rumor. Do you have evidence?

        I don’t know if there’s any “evidence” but it’s well known that the devs of Lemmy are Marxist-Leninists, and that’s the reason for many choosing to use Lemmy.

          I don’t mean evidence for their political convictions, I mean that they chose .ml specifically because it could stand for Marx and Lenin.
