  • authoritarian nature of capitalism

    Plenty of instances of communists doing the same shit. Please refer to my original post.

    Authoritarianism is not tied to political ideology. Authoritarianism takes advantage of whatever the political environment is. To think one environment doesn’t allow for authoritarianism while the other does is extremely naive. This isn’t a “both sides” argument, this is an argument that you incorrectly associate authoritarianism with only capitalism.

    I don’t know how else I can explain this to you, so this will be my last response.











  • Bots are already proliferating the fediverse. Kbin is constantly spammed with “buy online drugs here” links. Transparent bots (those that are tagged as bots) try to boost engagement by reposting things from Reddit, but are still perpetuating one of the worst aspects of reddit even if they’re being upfront about it. AI generated articles posted on obvious junk websites are constantly being spammed by the same accounts.

    It’s a difficult problem to solve.

    I hope/choose to believe that the reason we’re here is that those leading the charge in our justice system knew they not only had to have an airtight case, but it also had to slowly tear him down and erode his support.

    There are plenty of leaders throughout history who were exiled, deposed, or voted out only to come back stronger than ever. By taking an extremely methodical approach to all of the legal challenges against Trump, they’ve forced him to spend the majority of his time, energy, and money on those battles.

    As always, time will tell…
