  • I mean, I’m not going to pretend to know everything, obviously a lot of it is media coverage etc… not enough is known, and hell there’s the weird oddities that make me question the entire robinson narrative. (IE the assemble/dissassemble the rifle multiple times that don’t make sense, the fact that the supposed exit wound looks more like an entry wound etc…), But assuming robinson is the shooter, with what we can see, it seems more likely he was against kirks hatred rather than feeling it didn’t go far enough.

    I will admit there’s not enough to go on to get a picture, but with everything that is there, I don’t really see anything there that points to robinson being a bigot.





  • Big corps do this the reverse way.

    First off for the most part, high prices isn’t where big corps are screwing us usually. Least not on luxury goods. Mainly low wages is the real killer, our shit is stupidly cheap. Prices that are only possible via exploitative labor and high environmental destruction. So even the premise is flawed.

    But then the bigger thing, even if you could say sell something below amazon’s price… and keep up with inventory and shipping to keep doing it. Amazon can, and will bring their price down… temporarally, only as long as you are still selling the product. They have bots watching everything… and they will undercut you. For them it’s not a big deal, they are in basically every other industry, so while you are still paying for hosting, some bare minimum staff needed to get and sell your product, amazon can just undercut you, make sure you have no customers and starve you out, and the second the bots see you are no longer selling… they jump their prices up to where they are profitable again.




  • I view the general problem with it is simply the existence of other societies.

    IE lets say you have 4 societies on an island. 3 of them put all of their focus into developing a sustainable workable long term solution, farming/fishing etc…

    1 of them, works on building weapons and attacking the other 3. Result, the murderous colony kills the other 3, then eventually either learns to act like the ones it killed and produce food, or it dies out with nothing left to raid.

    Or like say rabbits, if you try and raise rabbits. You drop 2 in the wolf enclosure and see what happens. obviously the result is the rabbits die out. it’s not that rabbits aren’t a viable evolutionary path. It’s that without time and space to grow their numbers before getting encroached by the nearby predators, there’s no shot.

    Point I’m making is… the biggest problem of developing any system, that works better on the whole. is outside interference. It’s the same concept that say modern manufacturing would make smaller and lighter cars better and far more cost efficient. They would be safer except for the fact that they wouldn’t survive a collision with an SUV. It’s not the smaller lighter car that’s the problem. It’s the established systems with their flaws are integrated into society.

    Also western propaganda. Russia isnt ‘taking’ anything theyre liberating Ukrainians who have been under the rule of an illegitimate empire installed government since 2014 and have already voiced they want to be closer to russia

    Ah yes good old liberating the people, kind of like when Iraq and Venuzuela hailed the united states as liberators,

    best I’m finding on that polling is https://www.kiis.com.ua/?lang=eng&cat=reports&id=236

    To which, almost 70% supported open borders and friendly relations with russia, with absolute seperation and complete mergers both being under 15%.

    Also if they wanted to just let russia have ukraine why haven’t they done another revolution like they did their pro russian leader that tore up the EU negotiations they had.

    North korea can be propogandized like crazy because… unfortunately one of it’s defining traits is preventing it’s people from talking to the world. Ukranians seem pretty darn determined not to be “liberated”. Hell I’d imagine the war would be over pretty darn fast if the ukranians wanted it. White flags, surrender, get captured to protect themselves if their government is making them fight by intimidation.

    Yeah the big thing to me is the problem of the invader. Honestly on the grand scheme of things I dont’ care who does what… but what really needs to happen is, people need to stop going on the offense. US, Isreal and Russia are currently all the ones leading attacks in other people’s territory.

    I’m happy for China in their "my way works, watch me sit back and show you how successful I can be in normal peacetime. When a nation has to raid other nations for their resources or land, that’s IMO demonstrating what you have is unsustainable.

    Ukrain take or leave it’s intentions how good or bad it is. what’s clear is showing the idea that russia can just take it, is in itself a bigger problem. Just like Iran, I have zero sympathy for the government of Iran, I consider them barbaric and horrible. That being said directly attacking them, is a horrible action.





  • Mainly because they’ve done better at it than the big tech forums have. Bottom line social media is in absurdly hard category for anyone to break into once someone else has a grip. Not sure if you remember google’s huge flop when they tried to step in facebooks terf with google plus (Which I do have to say, from a design and functionality level, was a decade ahead of facebook, but google’s attempt to shove it down everyone’s throats, was horrendous).

    Bottom line, if you don’t care about who’s running it, the best social media platform, is the one that everyone’s already using. The existing company has to REALLY fsck it up big time to actually lose that advantage, and the competition has to, at least appear to be a trustworthy company. MS, Google, Facebook etc… would not have a good trust factor if they were to try to make a reddit like website, and reddit’s just not done enough to scare off the common users to leave a power vaccume that will draw an audience bigger than say what we have here on lemmy.



  • I mean it’s a grey area there… I think the overall propoganda created after vietnam (Rambo movies etc…), helped people learn to seperate and understand that a war can be wrong, and the soldiers can be good people serving their country.

    IE maybe it’s the bubbles I live in, and most these memories are pre-trump, but I heard no shortage of people that could go off for hours on how horrible the war on terror was, how stupid and monsterous bush was to send so many to kill and be killed, and still go out of their way to say “thank you for your service” to men coming back from iraq.
