What do u mean antithetical to the fediverse culture. The fediverse has always had a culture of sending people with political opinions you don’t like to the shadow realm. In fact db0 (op) did the same thing to my entire instance.

Well the first issue here is that your characterisation of both the left and the right is off from the actual values they represent. For instance the Republican party is actually surprisingly progressive when it comes to the gays (One of Trump and Vance’s biggest funders is Peter Theil a gay man) see Charlie Kirk.

The democratic party has only recently changed its position on gay marriage open borders etc. See Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.

Historically many black people have voted Democrat because that is just what they have done and Obama played into this and secured this trend for a while longer.

Black people in america have always been quite homophobic as a demographic. This is why /pol made the Swastika black and brown when they redesigned the pride flag. They thought it would be funny to associate black people with gay people on the new flag.

Given all this people have opinions for various things and they value each of these things differently. They will thus logically vote for whoever best aligned with what they believe putting more weight towards those that support things they believe strongly. Their is of course some tribalism factor of I’ve always voted x thus I will continue voting x but logic will supersede this for a majority of people given their tribe becomes extreme enough.

This is why free speech in the philosophical sense is so important. It allows people to discuss their ideas and allows the best one to win in the marketplace of ideas.

Somebody fill me in on the drama here? db0 has pissed me off when he decided certain political opinions where more important than free speech.

I simply just painted over the keys on my keyboard so I couldn’t read the letters I had to keep some of the symbols tho

The united states of america holds the monopoly on violence they can thus do whatever the fuck they want and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Please elaborate on what u are referring to with regard to systemd machine user association?

I can imagine a small amount being created by happenstance but not a large amount

Because it’s the gateway to augmented reality and conditions the public even further I to the assumption they are constantly being surveilled.

No. Ur limited by thermodynamic heat transfer. Cooling happens as a function of the surface area. Heat generation happens as a function of the volume. Once u have below some critical internal heat/temperature fire becomes unsustainable as u don’t have enough energy to decompose the next fuel particle.

So let’s for simplicity model a fire as a sphere this is shape of largest volume to surface areas so best case scenario for a fire. Despite this as the sphere gets smaller u have less volume per surface area and thus the cooling outpaces the heat generation and ur fire dies. The heat gen rate per unit volume would also depends on the sociometric makeup and volatility of fuel etc etc.

That’s good.

I was thinking we could come up with an acronym resulting in suck

I propose renaming it to SUCKS cos that’s what vacuums do.

This is why I love foss software. Their is some guy hacking away at some very specific problem in his own time and he shares it with the world for free. You will have never heard of this problem or even contemplated its existence but once u know some foss developer has solved it going back to a world where it doesn’t exist is just a little bit duller.

A human collapse is going to begin in the most vulnerable countries and spread. It’s not just going to be everyone everywhere failing at once. What we’re seeing is the start of a long term, large scale global change with climate as a primary motivating factor.

I don’t necessarily disagree I just don’t think that it will result in a total global collapse. I think the most vulnerable will fall and the strong will adapt and overcome same as every other global crisis in history.

Sure. Until “Putin meddled in my elections! We need to go to war with Russia!” and “The Haitians are sneaking in to vote for socialism! We need mass deportations NOW!” is the rallying cry of your local party. And then you’re bumping elbows with fascism very quickly.

As an Aussie I’m sufficiently insulated against european inpieralism and middle eastern sand wars. And fascism doesn’t scare me considering that I’m a strait white male with what fascists would consider pure “Arian” ancestry.

The global language of the human race is Latin. Damn shame nobody still speaks it.

It defiantly used to be but I think the penetration on English his suowrceeded its influence.

That’s not actually true. It is, if anything, a product of a very recent turn in US foreign policy (and subsequent propaganda). The Middle East enjoyed centuries of (relative) stability under the Ottoman Empire.

As I said I am currently in the former seat of power for the Ottoman empire and their treatment of people was anything but peaceful or stable. I WS in the quarters they kept their slaves 2 days ago its was not a pleasant place. The wives of the sultan where by definition taken by force from conkered lands as to avoid giving any particular family any power.

And it was one of the safer industrial stage regions on Earth to live during both World Wars.

I think the Anzac’s would disagree on this point but then again how fan they disagree when they all died at the hands of the Ottoman.

For most of that 3000 years, it enjoyed an enormous peace dividend as a center of trade and technological advancement, from which imperial powers positioned themselves securely while branching out across the globe. It was Europe before Europe was Europe.

Its was Rome then its was eastern Rome (which I would still consider the true Rome) until the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

The post-Cold War wave of conflicts is a novelty of colonization and extractive industry. It is the historical exception, not the rule.

Conflict has been the default for the entirety of human history everywhere across the globe. The cold war was a solidification event that caused a bipolar consolidation of factions but nothing more than that.

We’ve beaten natural selection with manual selection. The future of the human race will be written by its ancestors’ in a way vanishingly few species can claim.

Is that not just natural selection by h a different name. Eatehr selection is natural or it is chosen and if its is chooses the correct terminology is eugenics.

But this isn’t a reason for fatalism. It’s a recognition that our current trajectory is a collective choice.

Its a collective choice amongst collectives. You still have free will to decide what collective and who within said collective you decide to associate with.
