Commiunism

What would that accomplish? Designating something as a human right doesn’t decommodify the thing, nor does it magically make it infinite.

I went through the same exact thing somewhat ““recently”” after realizing reforms aren’t gonna do jack shit, media creating narratives obfuscating reality and this obfuscation of reality being heavily bought into by people both online and irl.

You’re likely getting radicalized leftward, and this emotion and panic is a temporary part of it. It has happened to me and to others in the past, but this intense feeling eventually passes.

What helped me personally in the later stages was getting a coherent worldview, reading and studying some political theory so you can actually spot what doesn’t fit in the news and in the comments, know what’s actually in your interest to support rather than falling for some general moralizations, etc.

I’m down to talk more about it if you need it, this can really be hard to go through alone (speaking from experience).

I’m neither from US, neither do I consider myself as being a leftist.

When I critique democracy here, I don’t critique the concept of it in general (for the records I’m 100% fine with it) but liberal democracies that dominate the world and is the status quo. It’s what OP most likely means when they mention democracy in terms of world governments given the present state of things.

But that isnt possible in capitalism because threw wealth you can buy yourself influence, and a stage. So it is easier for wealthy to get a crowd. But that doesnt mean only wealthy people get elected. The many left partys in europe for example are quite the good example to disprove this.

Yeah, it doesn’t - thats why media presence is as crucial as having a high campaign budget.

True, but the post isn’t really talking about democracies in general but liberal democracies (the specific societies kind you mention), stretched to a worldwide scale. Probably should have clarified that.

From an objective materialist standpoint, democracies are a tool of the ruling capitalist class to legitimize its own rule and keep their position of class domination while providing an illusion to the working class that they have some sort of power in the matter (they don’t, all candidates are pre-selected so all you can choose is essentially the “flavor”, who ultimately gets selected usually is determined via campaign money spending and media, once they’re in power they gotta preserve the state machinery and capital in place etc).

Nationalism is also a very powerful tool of capital to unite people under single unified volk, deliberately obfuscating the class that might divide said volk and it’s constantly used by opportunists and conservative elements.

Given these two statements, I don’t think a world government like that can even exist, or if it did it’d implode via separatism from opportunists who want to be the next “great man”. US for the longest time was and still is closest to this kind of position though, but they sure as shit are never going to let foreigners vote.

Not for Disney, they don’t need the publicity. Jimmy Kimmel’s show on the other hand would benefit drastically - just look at the publicity he’s been getting for the past week.

Perfectly executed publicity stunt

I find it funny how this question is being asked on Lemmy of all places, where the definition of fascism has been completely lost (essentially now being some vague notion of right-wing evil)

The domain name is a red flag in itself, but looking through steam underground I did find someone with plenty of comments under their belt saying how they got files for some game they shared from that site and 0 mentions of it being malware, so it’s probably okay.

That being said, I’d personally recommend just using bottles for piracy, don’t even bother with native linux ports given how they’re usually worse than windows versions running through DXVK/Vulkan (except maybe Factorio given it’s Linux unique optimizations) using Bottles or something for added security - it’s safer to download them too given how many trustworthy repackers package them.

Based mask off.

Can’t wait for Dems to respond by wanting to rename it to department of peace

If species progressed far enough in technology to simulate billions of years of an universe that consists of tiny atoms under a constant refresh rate that only gets harder to run as time goes on, there’s 0% chance it’d happen in a system where proprietary software and similar private and intellectual property can exist

Sounds like they’re grasping at straws to get a bigger sentence or something, Luigi stans are nothing but adventurist larps in reality

The shooter was trans, and some media + lots of online spaces are already spreading mental illness narratives. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is going to get used against trans people in general, it’s sad.

Sorry, whenever inflation gets mentioned the maggots in my brain force me to make a sonic inflation joke

When Capitalism was being theorized, a guy name Sonic Smith had discovered that over time as more money is minted, it loses value, and thus inflation. Thus, when it came time to implement capitalism, it became the 34th rule of capital that was defined.

To learn more, google “rule 34 sonic inflation”

Right isn’t as unified as you might think. There’s plenty of right on right violence, especially when a channel that operates under the veneer of enlightenment or “smarts” does something that goes against it, like recent JP Jubilee appearance.

Left is also a very wide umbrella, not some team, so when someone is being idiotic, giving flack and “infighting” is good.

Thought it was obvious given how “every person in the world” and “practical” was in the same comment lol
