  • I don’t get it, what is the appeal?

    The Confederacy were a bunch of racist assholes that wanted to be able to subjugate people for their race. They lost.

    So why would anyone want to even be associated with a loser racist club, let alone be so fixated on it that you tattoo your back full with it…

    Once this is over, can the US please make that first amendment a little bit more sensible? Yeah, it’s fine to talk about Hitler, it’s not fine to start neo nazi groups, or saying that Hitler was right (except about killing Hitler, he was totally right). Similarly, I believe that the confederate flag should be prohibited except for education like schools and museums.

    Yes, I want freedom of expression, but I think we’ve arrived at a point in time where we can safely say that allowing people to say anything positive about fascism never ends well.

    Similarly, I want a law that needs organizations should always be factual. I know, I know, facts are hard and bias, up to a certain level, will always be there but there is a HUGE difference between any US news organization from the 70s and Fox News. Fox News is a propaganda platform, period. It should be prohibited, fuck all first amendment arguments about this. You can’t allow somebody to constantly lie to millions of people, it will end badly. News organizations should also be 100% independent. Put an independent news foundation funded by the government that can play journalists to make real news and inform people, for example.





  • I don’t see this as left or right wing

    This is architecture that could be done better.

    Yes, we need to stop homelessness, but you also want to avoid creating spaces where nobody wants to live because it’s ugly and depressing and guaranteed, the poor end up having to live there, and with that comes crime and what not and you end up with ghetto style areas where even police is uneasy

    Take a little bit more space, put a little bit more thought into the designs, add spaces for children to play, add parks, make it look nice. Wr don’t need luxury villas either, but there has to be something better than this


  • Amazon’s 1.58 million employees

    No company should be able to have more than, say, 10.000 employees. After that, you’re too big to fail. Companies need hard caps on how large they can grow, both in number of employees, as well as in net worth. A y income it makes over that hard cap should go 100% to taxes.

    Same for humans. We need hard caps on how much a single human being can own, be worth. No person should have a networth over 1 million dollars. Any income over that goes 100% to taxes

    Two simple rules that will change the world. We can keep capitalism, all fine, just cap how much a human being can have as a net worth

    Isn’t that sort of avoidable by simply communicating with your children, listening to them, what they have to say and feel?

    I mean, I know that raising kids is hard, but not fucking up badly isn’t that hard either, me thinks…

    Feed your kids, educate your kids, don’t hit your kid, don’t neglect your kids, talk with and listen to your kids…

    I mean, I’m sure I’m missing half of it and I’m sure there are some really complicated issues to deal with, but if you cover the basics of keeping your kids alive, water, food, shelter, and you (again) communicate… It can’t be THAT hard not to fuck up badly. Can it?
