It's so over
  • Not true. It might be that people with illnesses that cause a higher risk of heart attacks can also make it more difficult for them to go out and meet people due to low mobility or chronic pain or fatigue.

  • Paralyzed Man Unable to Walk After Maker of His Powered Exoskeleton Tells Him It's Now Obsolete
  • While agree with the sentiment, electorialism will never end capitalism because of the power imbalance where capitalists will spend all their money if they need to for heavy propaganda campaigns in favour of capitalism.

    Your energy is better spent on small scale organising your workplace, to make sure that you and your coworkers can actually use the only leverage you have through strikes.

  • "Go Woke, Go... uh..."
  • Dehumanising really isn’t effective against nazis, because it implies that actual humans aren’t capable of atrocious behaviour while we’ve clearly seen that they are. It’s always better to call nazis/fascists/imperialists/colonialists/racists/homophobes/etc by their name.

  • I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US
  • The word world is literally in the name… When I joined lemmy I started there because I assumed it would be a general instance. It’s like worldnews where 90% of posts are US politics. Also, it’s not an obsession, most times it comes up it’s just a joke (like this meme).

  • Russians who promote 'child-free movement' could soon face hefty fine
  • More working class children means that there will be more people to exploit in the future. The size of the working class population is extremely important for the generation of wealth because they’re basically the only ones doing productive labour.

  • Is driving a car this awful all the time?
  • With that attitude towards cyclists you probably shouldn’t drive because you’d be making the road unsafe for a mode of transportation that is healthier and more space and energy efficient than a car.

  • Capitalist logix
  • ‘A system that counteracts those selfish tendencies’ you mean a system in which:

    • housing is not controlled by companies with no moral incentive to keep them liveable and affordable?
    • people don’t learn from a young age that their value is directly connected to their willingness to fuck people over for money?
    • there is no monetary incentive to create artificial deficits in essential goods like housing and food?
    • the whole economy is not based on ‘cheap labour’ and the illegal extraction of minerals from other countries?
  • Protestation
  • The surplus value created by the workers should go to those workers. However in reality, most of the value created by the workers is going to capitalists that did not contribute to the making of the product, which communists consider theft.

  • What should I consider before choosing the right tanga or string to work out with leggings?
  • This is probably not the answer you’re looking for but I’d thought I’d mention it anyways. Have you considered women’s boxershorts? Those are more comfortable when working out and the lines they leave are less pronounced and at a more flattering location.

  • Chinese solar panel boom threatens Pakistan’s debt-ridden grid | Industry rushes to switch to clean energy as cost of state power network becomes crippling
  • If you read the article it describes how this phenomenon is really bad for the Pakistani government who are in debt and the working class who can’t invest in solar panels and thus end up having to pay way more for their already expensive energy to compensate for companies who are no longer using it.

  • Chinese solar panel boom threatens Pakistan’s debt-ridden grid | Industry rushes to switch to clean energy as cost of state power network becomes crippling
  • Kinda weird to blame China for offering a loan Pakistan asked for. This whole situation seems to be more of a result of lack of market regulation. Western companies are taking advantage of this lack of regulation and the government’s response is to… let the working class pay even more for its already overpriced energy.

    They should force those companies to use the energy they probably begged the government to provide for them or they’d leave the country, and in the meantime gradually transition to the cheaper solar energy.

  • Red-painted fascists never change
  • I’m expecting people here to be anti genocide and showing the contradiction in calling actual protesters fascist.

    But clearly not everyone is anti genocide since there are still quite a lot of people who believe that Israel has the right to steal Palestinian land and kill Palestinian civilians indiscriminately (Harris & Trump do, most politicians in most European countries do as well)

  • Two or three cups of coffee a day is linked to a lower risk of heart and metabolic disease
  • Previous coffee research with positive outcomes for coffee drinkers didn’t factor in that people with underlying medical conditions or that take medication that make them more likely to get vascular problems don’t drink coffee.

  • Red-painted fascists never change
  • I’m saying that to argue that the election is not as important as people here seem to imply, because the big scary thing that will happen with Trump will happen anyways but it will be a democrat and a few years later. You (and other commenters) seem to think that electorialism is the only way to prevent ‘facism’, but I argue that you are already under a fascist government that is funding a genocide and forcing you to keep voting for them ‘or else’. I’ve repeated this same thing a lot in these threads but I’ll do it again: historically the only way to really change the course and to protect the human rights that are at stake/lacking currently is through strikes and civil unrest.
