If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.

  • This thing I don’t understand

    What don’t I understand about it?

    I will refuse to believe any evidence to the contrary

    There is no evidence to the contrary. The only way there could be would be if they got caught.

    Plus I just happe to know you’re already conservative from your other posts so it’s just more evidence to back it up.

    Lmao of course you do.

    As I always say, “If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.” Please cite any evidence at all that I’m conservative.

    I apologize for my mistake earlier, when I said my suspicions about Anonymous were more reasonable than your belief that I’m a Russian bot, what I should’ve said is that they’re more reasonable than your baseless and unfalsifiable belief that I’m secretly a conservative. Huge difference.






  • Seems more like the standard fascist approach to me. It’s probably not going to stay government owned.

    1. Demonize a minority group

    2. Government takes control of businesses owned by members of that minority

    3. Government gives control of the business to (typically larger) businesses owned by the dominant group, allowing them to artificially produce growth (what Zucc is likely aiming for)

    4. Narrow the scope of who is accepted in the dominant group, move on to the next minority, and repeat.

    This is why communists often describe fascism as “capitalism in decay.” Because of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, it becomes harder and harder for companies to find new ways of producing growth, and have to find methods that aren’t involved with actually increasing productivity, which is where you get enshittification. The fascist economic solution is obviously unsustainable, it’s like eating your own arm, but corporations that are desperately focused on short term growth (the vast majority of them) will happily sign on.

    Socialism, otoh, is not about finding more stuff to feed into corporations, but, upon reaching that point, transforming the economy to remove the need for endless growth through nationalization. But socialism is not synonymous with nationalization, especially when the nationalization is selectively targeted and (most likely) temporary.
