Can we just talk about the article rather than attacking the publisher? I'm interested in your thoughts on the actual points made.
Not a big fan but from the 2019 and 2021 albums compared to the recent releases, he sounds so different!
Personally, I think the scoring system itself is fine. It only becomes an issue when the ecosystem turns into an echo chamber where people blindly downvote opposing arguments without providing a reason.
I posted something on !libertarianism@lemmy.world and got downvoted by many whilst I always upvote my opposition so the discussion doesn't get buried. Lmao.
What about we have more people like you, like me, like us that get away from big shitty corpo like Reddit and move to Fedi in mass? That's how a real free market works: if you don't like it, you leave/boycott.
The same principle applies to any aspect of society based on the market. The real 'ambition of the powerful' is usually fueled by State granted monopolies and regulatory capture where big corps use the law to kill small competitors.
Limiting their power shouldn't mean giving the State more control (which they eventually buy anyway), but rather decentralizing our choices. If we have the freedom to exit and build alternatives, their 'power' evaporates because it lacks our voluntary consent.
I agree we aren't starting on day 1. The current wealth of billionaires is the result of State enforced monopolies on land, credit, and intellectual property.
If I work 8 hours, I have traded a piece of my finite life for that value, that is my toil and trouble. When we're talking about money, it doesn't have to be always fiat money provided from the State, money is historically a market-chosen commodity (gold, silver, or even cryptocurrency) that exists independently of the State but it's just a matter of the people what kind of money they choose and how do they spend them.
I can agree on this, the Epstein files is one of many factors that caused the attack of Iran but the tension between Iran and US is already going on for years.
Hi new, I'm dad
Oh, didn't know that. Okie
Finally, Linus being Linus.
That's what I'd really love to hear, a real opinion rather than personal attack <3
