And then every experience I have using someone else’s device is “how do you possibly put up with this many ads”

Why is almost every country on that list worse than they used to be?

You should stop deleting your messages, this place exists as a forum so people can come back and read messages in the past. I often go back on posts years afterwards and I find it very frustrating when there are deleted messages that are missing important context or information.

I understand the privacy issues, maybe there is a way to remove remove fingerprinting in text you type.

Oh I was just about to read that.

It’s quite easy actually. You just need to spend 90% of your day watching TikTok. /s

Seriously though what do you mean by this? Most young people ‘tech trends’ are just capitalism fucking them over, the screen time of gen z and gen A is insane. There is nothing interesting going on there, all the cool stuff is here on lemmy: Linux, open source, AI without the billionaire hype etc.

I’m a member of the younger generation myself and I don’t understand why people so many people don’t see it as a leach on their lives, maybe it’s my neurodivergence that makes me have a different perspective.

It’s just a man with long hair and wider than average hips.

Interesting, I will look into that although it does contradict my view that oil companies have control over the US government rather than the other way around.

I don’t understand the wording of that sentence.

They don’t have to extract the oil if they don’t want to, but clearly it’s profitable for them because they are extracting oil.

The coups don’t cost them any money, it’s the tax payers that pay for that.

That is indeed the Wikipedia article I included in my comment. (after editing it)

I’m pretty sure big oil wants more oil. If govenment stops letting them take the oil they will just coup them again. Why does big oil not want this?

I was surprised too. I searched it up and supposedly the US had something to do with pushing the govener general to sac the labour prime minister and replace him with the liberal opposition.

I wouldn’t take it as fact until you look into it more so I’m not really sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleged_CIA_involvement_in_the_Whitlam_dismissal

I might be cooked

It is scary, to capitalists.

The racism with the russian doll tops it off too.

most of the point has been about the viewpoint we are choosing for the words

I guess so. I would say revolutionary activity is any form of workers uniting against the capitalist class and building class consciousness to get us closer to a revolution, or the revolution itself.

multiple actions that don’t cause a huge ruckus are the backbone of the change and in fact the important part

Can you give examples of this? I have only seen significant change in favour of the working class when the working class has inhibited the ability for the capitalist class to go about it’s regular oppressive lifestyle.

everybody except affluent white people is in a worse situation than they would be if “the most left wing of the large parties” had governed with consistency in any western country

I have two issues with this. First of all they haven’t and they likely never will be considering the ruling capitalist class has complete control over the press. It’s not worth falling into the idealist trap of hoping an outcome will happen just because it will benefit everyone. Secondly Even when “left” parties do get elected they always succumb to the coercive forces of the capitalist class and never have any opportunity to impact any change.

Also, elections are by far the best situation for the spreading of political ideas.

This is an interesting point. Revolutionary parties do often run elections inside liberal democracies, although they don’t do this with the expectation they will gain power within the capitalist system and reform it they do this to further spread revolutionary ideas.

And then after the '80s they stopped making anything new at all.

The train (top one) is too pointy. It’s more aerodynamic to have a more round nose.

HELP! We tried this in Europe but the politicians kept on selling out to rich people as soon as (or even before) they got voted in! Feeling kinda alienated and class conscious atm what should we do now?

So true lol. “Think about the long term consequences of raising wages by 1%!!!”
