Ah damn good point forgot leftists had actually lost their minds and forgot that abstaining from voting is basically endorsing whoever wins

Truly I think if Hamas ceases all hostilities and Israel continues then the UN will actually take a hard stance against Israel

It's just hard to completely condemn them when the opposition has been firing shitload of rockets at them for ages. Like what should Israel do? Give in to demands made by what is essentially a terrorist group that hasn't negotiated in the past?

That's not really an ad hom. I don't think you run a petrol station, so I'm not calling you a moron

It just economically make no sense that you'd have 3 different businesses that close together with wildly different prices. Like who would ever go to the expensive one? And why?

[-] throwwyacc@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 8 months ago

Right, but the in order for the other station to not go out of business they have to match. But are incentivised to beat that price by a further 10c to increase the amount of business they get See where I'm going?

If you don't have any scripts that rely on branch name it should be pretty trivial actually. But I wouldn't be shocked if you had a few dozen scripts that nobody has looked at in the last century lol

Is this a bot?

Isn't this only the case in github? All my repos are based from master, and I would assume that's because I init on the command line and push up to the remote?

[-] throwwyacc@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 8 months ago

See that isn't very consistent is it? If you hold non voting stock you can't vote on company decisions. But the company does now need to pay you a dividend, which according to you would be immoral as it would mean a third party is profiting from their labour correct?

Man I just find it frustrating that not a single socialist I've met or talked to can accurately explain their system given any amount of pushback

I can understand wanting to restructure your entire economy because you're currently facing issues with your current system. But in my opinion the failing isn't of the economic system but the system built around it. I truly believe with a well implemented tax system and regulations we could keep everyone's needs met Meaning potentially negative taxation for those of low income and higher taxation as you move upwards

I don't feel we can blame our economy for the way we're currently fucking over the plant it terms of climate. Many socialist projects were massively damaging to the environment as well, in both systems the only real fix is regulation. Which I wish we could pass but unfortunately the reality is that in a lot of places voters simply don't want it (which is dumb)

If you truly want to critique capitalism I think it would be beneficial to understand how it works and some level of the economics Which by the way if you can come up with a cohesive plan for socialism I'd love to see it. As I think fundamentally we want the same things, and I don't mind which way we go, it's just thus far socialism doesn't seem to be very practical

That is a wholly unsatisfactory response

Firstly capitalism does work, it is extremely efficient at what it does which is allocating capital, which I've never heard of a good alternative. Central planning seems pretty trash as an alternative example But where "capitalism" falls over isn't to do with it at all. Capitalism is an economic system, it doesn't dictate anything about how we setup things like welfare or even ubi if you want. Look at Europe, seems pretty chill to me in a lot of countries that are capitalist

Right so you would make any other structure of company illegal. I don't like that particularly, but from your moral system I get it. But then we probably have a fundamental disagreement there that can't be resolved easily

What really annoys me about socialists/communists is you always want to handwave your bullshit system. You don't even know how to start a business under your system but want to advocate for it! Being better than a moronic Marxist in this respect doesn't excuse you of understanding what your system entails Also please don't tell me to do my own research on your proposed system, you should be able to explain if you want entire countries to switch economic models

Ah I see you're a perfectly rational individual with a perfectly sane world view. Carry on
