I love the iphone thing because they are literally all manufactured in the most successful socialist country still existing.

[–] narr1@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, and the most capitalist part in them is the outrageous price tag and planned obsolescence. But yeah, keep talking about "muh technological development"

Don't forget privatizing an IP that was only made possible through government funded research. Literally the only "innovation" jobs made was taking a bunch of existing tech and being like, "what if we made a media player that is also a phone with a touch screen"

And don't get me started on how much I fucking hate touch screens. Whoever decided all cash registers should be touch screen only and took away my 10-key is going to beg for me to kill them once I am done with them.

Stealing other peoples' work and selling it as your own for your profit, the sacred art of the capitalists (it just works!)

Yeah, I work as a bartender and have occasionally had to deal with register/payment terminal combos that are basically just Android based devices with a receipt printer. I hate them, because it's completely possible to swipe up and close the app, or double press the unlock button and open the camera, or accidentally input something and trying to undo anything without starting over is a pain 'cause the buttons are too small. And occasionally those things will just not work, and the battery drains real fast.

I’ve never come across anyone who calls themselves a “Stalinist.” Maybe that’s what some horseshoe theorists call Marxist-Leninists.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 43 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The only people I call Stalinist are people who intentionally go about delaying or postponing things. They gotta quit stalin for time.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You could say that but you could also say that they're biden their time

is-this Is this horseshoe theory?

The modern revisionists and reactionaries call us Stalinists, thinking that they insult us and, in fact, that is what they have in mind. But, on the contrary, they glorify us with this epithet; it is an honor for us to be Stalinists for while we maintain such a stand the enemy cannot and will never force us to our knees.

The problem is that in order to unite the left it is necessary to agree to the ideological level, very difficult, to unite the right it needs just a briefcase of money.

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

to unite the right, all you have to do is say "so, we all hate Black people and immigrants, right?"

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

"so, we all hate capitalism, right?"

Money's got nothing on hate. Nothing unites the Right more than hate, every fascist ideology centres around hate for a certain group. Be it Jews, Palestinians, Chinese, or Hispanics.

[–] Kwakigra@beehaw.org 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wish. You're giving right-wingers way too much credit. Most of those craven idiots do it for free for the opportunity to lose themselves in a gaggle of other morons. They are vulnerable in a way that is easy to exploit for people who know how to do it.
