The last time he weighed in on the nature of money:
No no, since it doesn’t matter, we should give all of ours to him so that his robots can safely dispose of it. Truly he is a living saint
Yeah, he's trying to convince others their money isn't important and should be use to buy xAI stock.
Man he really telegraphed that Nazi thing from a million miles away.
Wowee I didn't realise I could increase my productivity by a billion % just by rambling shit on twitter all day.
It should be noted this sort of thing started with "picking the charity that does the best job" and is now at "getting humanity to multiple planets to survive a catechism". They skipped all of the middle steps that could help anyone at all today.
Sounds like Sunday school has become pretty hardcore, with cataclysmic catechisms!
Fuck the "effective altruism" cult. They're all selfish cunts that are too cowardly to admit it
I thought effective altruists were all about buying people's mosquito nets in Africa because it's more bang for your buck than buying people's groceries in North America?
Wowee I didn't realise I could increase my productivity by a billion % just by rambling shit on twitter all day.
Weird how much he’s obsessed with the Culture, except for all of the social permissiveness like being able to transition sex, and also utterly unwilling to use any of the vast resources at his disposal to create a post scarcity society instead of hoarding more and more for himself.
Post scarcity for me, more scarcity for thee. That's how Start Track™ [thanks wife for thinking up the perfect bastardizatiob] works right?
Trust me bro, money will be worthless soon bro, you don't need to make me give back the obscene amount of money I took for myself by exploiting the system bro
Part of his trite "I'm here to fix the world" ego trip he does to the upper classes, before promptly being given their investment money to destroy it some more.
He doesn't have money. So even if he gave away all his money he would still be worth a trillion.
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of "ML" (read: Dengist) influence. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, discussion and agitprop/stuff that's better fit for a poster than a meme go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low quality!
0. Only post socialist memes
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme. Please post agitprop here)
0.5 [Provisional Rule] Try to use alt text or image descriptions to allow for greater accessibility
(Please take a look at our wiki page for the guidelines on how to actually write alternative text!)
We encourage alternative text (from now referred to as "alt text") to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.
We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.
When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don't add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.
0.5.1 Style tip about abbreviations and short forms
When writing stuff like "lol" and "iirc", it's a good idea to try and replace those with their all caps counterpart
Why? Because otherwise (AFAIK), screen readers will try to read them out as actually words instead of spelling them
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such
That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" (read: Dengists) (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
4. No Bigotry.
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
6. Don't irrationally idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
