I’m a socialist so no big fan of capitalism. That said, I don’t think capitalism is just about selling things for more than they’re worth.

We add value through our labor. Think of a log, it has some value as raw material. A worker might cut it into planks, and another might make a table out of it. It’s now worth more than when it started. The value came from our labor, and we should be compensated for it.

The issue with capitalism is that the few benefit off the work of many. Based on the rest of your comment I think we’re pretty much in agreement, but just want to highlight that as a worker-owner (vs robber baron) there’s nothing wrong with charging for what you’re worth.

I’ve been reading “Fighters in the Shadows” by Robert Gildea, it’s about the resistance in France during World War 2. It’s funny how big the tent can be when you’re fighting fascism. They had people from all across the political spectrum, urban and rural, French plus countless other nationalities, and they were pursuing a really wide spectrum of activities.

If you read Stancil’s feed these days he’s really doing the work, plus publicizing the issue. I don’t think it makes sense to prioritize social media grudges at the moment.

Ah the classic headbutt fight

Didn’t Frank Lloyd Wright use the term “Usonian”?

The article says they suspect this was done by people who have an interest in hunting, since those people often complain that the eagles target birds like pheasants.

Well which is it, that she tried to pepper spray a winter spider, or that the victim had it coming?

Best detail I think is that they door dashed Arby’s.

I think we should have open borders. That said, not everyone does. Many more people have a problem with citizens being detained because the supposed focus of these raids is people in the country illegally (and supposedly people who are criminals).

Talking about how they’re detaining citizens highlights that the actions are indiscriminate, and that really they want to target any brown people. It shows they don’t care about the law. It’s also telling people in a protected class, “hey, they can come for you too.”

I don’t need anymore evidence of that, but some people do. And when we stop calling it out it becomes de facto acceptable.

I’m an atheist, but if you read about Jesus specifically you won’t find a lot of hate.

The wizard is not a reasonable guy

The wizard who is forcing you to do this said you have to actually be playing, you can’t be in a manager or commentator type role

Do people currently get paid to play naked twister? Seems like more of a collegiate level sport

I think this might be the answer

Are we calling chess a sport? In that case why not magic the gathering or black jack

Thanks for sharing. Although I’m an enthusiastic open source user, I haven’t written any code of significance, so I’m not aware: has anyone made a license where use is restricted to individuals and democratically controlled organizations? I’m picturing that would allow for some degree of profit motive while encouraging things like worker co-ops and excluding venture capital controlled entities.

Because the only way Marvel movies know how to ratchet up the stakes is having more and more people die.

So the screenshot is a reminder because when you’re scrolling through recent photos you might happen to see it? Isn’t that kind of like setting an alarm clock that will only go off 50% of the time?

What does bringing it to the front mean in this context? If I’ve already located the photo I want, I can usually do what I need with it. The problem is finding it to start with.

What is a digital concentration camp?

Also I have no idea what this image is trying to convey

Holy shit
