I think since Reagan breaking the unions and NAFTA, regular Americans have felt their economic power decline. That makes people bitter and angry. They just want to burn things down and throw a tantrum rather than creating any type of country where someone other than them might succeed.

But also, no. I don’t think Democrats need to be this center right party. Go fix the Republican Party rather than displacing democrats.

Hilarious to call the pope Marxist. Wasn’t it Marx who called religion the opiate of the masses? Few communist countries tolerate religion much at all.

They won’t. Elon cut a program to detect famine called the Famine Early Warning System Network, which tracks food security in ~30 countries. And, he discontinued transfers of food to locations where there is famine and near famine. People are going to die and Elon Musk and DOGE are to blame.

If I am the next president, I will rescind all citizenships granted through this program and deport their recipients to a failed state’s prison of my choosing.

Seems like a violation of the first amendment to go after a nonprofit based on the apparent political view points of one of its employees.

Being dependent on starlink is a national security threat for all countries, including the United States

So, likely everyone in the developed world, not just billionaires.

I don’t disagree. I was just clarifying what would spur one.

Truthfully, we are fucked either way. The truth is having a baby boom would help the economy, but accelerate environmental degradation and the consequences of climate change, which will be extremely destabilizing to society and possibly lead to collapse.

But, if we don’t continue to grow the population, the capitalist world, based on a need for endless growth will falter. We will see less productivity and consumption, which will also be destabilizing to society as the economy shrinks or becomes stagnant. This is also destabilizing to society and could also create a collapse.

A Fediverse Alternative to TikTok

In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?
