Also to the liberals pearl clutching about “but we need democracy!” not realizing that’s what that quote means.

The proletariat is, pretty much by definition, the VAST majority of the people in a society, by far the largest group. The commoners like you and me, working in order to make a living.

Dictatorship can mean what you think it means in that context. Ruling a country by the will of some dictator.

If the proletariat is the dictator, it means ruling a country by the will of the vast majority of the people. That’s what democracy is. We can further discuss implementations of it and how well they work (hint: Western democracy works very poorly and is very undemocratic, as you’ve definitely experienced), but the general concept described by “dictatorship of the proletariat” is democracy.

AKA communism?

Possibly true, but when you do get run over, it will be significantly harder to get your American medical treatment compensated if a company’s bot did it instead of a human.

But in an ideal world neither the bot nor human would have been driving a car in the first place, and the vehicle the bot would be driving is on tracks that are grade separated (and have platform gates), making it almost impossible to run someone over.

Jesus is definitely watching Cuba and Venezuela, countries that are more Christian than America ever was

As a cis man, I think very lowly of men-only groups. Usually (from my admittedly limited experience) if a group goes out of their way to identify as “men-only,” the people there tend to be the kind of men who are very misogynistic and generally insufferable to be around, even for other men. Any group genuinely focused on the hobby or culture they claim to identify with wouldn’t really care about your gender.

Women-only groups though, I tend to sympathize with and respect a lot more, and IMO they are the symptom of the West being a heavily male dominated society rather than an innate desire among women to be exclusionary. If the world didn’t revolve around men and had genuine gender equality, there probably wouldn’t be a need for many women only groups either, but that’s unfortunately not the world we live in.

I can’t really speak on trans/nonbinary exclusion though because I have no personal experience being on the business end of it. I try to only participate in groups where they don’t care about your gender to begin with.

Usually they just say there are no civilians in Russia and Ukraine killing ANY Russian is completely justified. Not the other way around though.

Also parallels their thoughts on Israel vs Palestine. Israel can kill any Palestinian and be “self defense” but when it comes to Israelis suddenly they care about the civilian distinction.

…spoil the bunch.

Which means it doesn’t excuse the white people who sat by and watched and did nothing about it.

If you took the time to expand your vocabulary you wouldn’t need to pay a premium.

Why not go further and imagine a world without money, crypto or fiat?

Bitcoin doesn’t give power to you or me, it just transfers the power from one set of bastards to another, because it’s STILL MONEY and money is and will always be a tool for exploitation.

You’re the one spamming the meme community with announcements of who you’re blocking. There’s a reason blocks are silent.

If by spam you mean post a single comment on the matter to provide feedback before moving on, then so be it.

But anyway, thank you for kindly volunteering to be on my block list as well. 😉

Vienna (I think?) is pretty rad.

I’m partial to leaving decorating buildings to the residents who live there. Something like community murals and art projects on the prefab blank canvas that reflect the people and community those buildings foster. IDK, something about a lot of modern ornamentation commercial developers create feel even colder than no ornamentation at all, but that’s just a personal opinion.

I agree, I didn’t want to change the premise too much in my original comment, but ideally you’d do some complicated math to determine the optimal height for your location, building materials, and population density.

I don’t know what that calculation would look like in China because I don’t live there (I’m sure the Chinese engineers are well aware of those calculations though) but in my country it would definitely be a lot closer to the 10 story range, maybe even lower.

Either way, something us in the West absolutely NEED to get used to is prefab buildings that all look the same. A bunch of prefab skyscrapers like China has is still worlds ahead of the logistical nightmare of demanding every single building be custom designed like is so common here. You call it boring, I call it efficient. Having a few reusable designs (usually different heights) to choose from and copy paste building housing, like what China does, is what we need first, IMO, and then we can talk about the optimal heights for those prefab buildings.

Always interesting when the subjects the meme is clowning on make themselves known when they absolutely didn’t have to.

We discussed those green skyscrapers in university environment class, and as far as I know they didn’t work that well. It was hard to keep the plants alive and when they did grow, they became a breeding ground for pest insects that got into the units where people were living. It’s very much prioritizing looking green over being green.

IMO it’s better to just have efficient but visually boring skyscrapers, and then have dedicated green space around clusters of density (which is what China is mostly doing nowadays). Separating housing and green space make both more effective, easier to manage, and more resiliant.

Also, in case you’re wondering, most Western environment profs are very impressed by what China has done, at least in the university I went to.

Get yourself to a safe place they can’t access and from there call security to remove them from the hospital?
