Yeah, it's the ultimate midwit take. Smart enough to realise it's an abstraction, not smart enough to realise that there's a base reality (goods themselves being scarce) beneath it.
While democratic socialism is a variety of socialism, Bernie isn't really a democratic socialist, but a social democrat. Social democracy is the left of capitalism, which is right of socialism in any form.
Before some moron turns up, Nazism is not socialism.
Because it's all signalling, there's nothing really there to get. The reason "people of colour" is okay and "coloured people" isn't isn't because of any real difference between the phrases, but because people who use the former are generally supportive of them, while people who use the latter aren't.
Well, yeah. It was the cool new thing, now it isn't.
It's because they grew up with it rather than actively learning it. UIs have started to hide the actual details, so the users don't pick them up.
People are worried that they'll embrace, extend and extinguish it. That is, join the fediverse, make Threads a better client than any of the existing ones until everyone uses their client, then use that extra reach to harm the fediverse.
I'm personally not that worried, because of who we are. We're a bunch of geeks with anarchist leanings, and so probably wouldn't switch to Threads anyway.
Now I'm not morally against piracy, pirate away. It's just illegal.
It's like people are forgetting that piracy is actually illegal.
I mean, you probably are, especially if it's explicitly political. All I can recommend is CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
It's not cheating to have a similar UI. Fuck off Musk.
I don't trust them one bit, but this makes more sense than EEE. The fediverse just isn't that big. We don't have anything they want. But what they do want is to be allowed to launch Threads in the EU without DMA issues.
Revanced still costs $0/month.
