I was curious if he was actually more friendly to communism than portrayed or not. It did seem like he was sympathetic to the cause, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he downplayed it after going through all those interrogations.
I don’t know enough about the CPUSA at the time, but I’d imagine they did more than drink and dance. I did like the way they portrayed the hiding of knowledge as problematic, and that sharing discoveries is how innovation really happens, not markets monopolising patents
Yeah, I think communists in the movie were painted fairly favourably, and McCarthyism of the error was less so. I do feel like they intentionally left out Einstein’s socialist preference, but who’s to say
My thoughts exactly. We’ve innovated greener technology, only problem is they aren’t profitable enough to be widespread in capitalism
I talked to a liberal friend of mine who defended planned obsolescence saying “if things last forever, people won’t have to buy new things, and innovation won’t happen without new consumers”
Like why should I be replacing everything I own every few years? That’s insane
Most western liberals are primarily focused on social issues because of the media narrative centering those issues as the dividing line. The American two party duopoly does not want people thinking about actual economic policies to help the working class, it would make the masses realize they are much more alike than either sides ruling class
Lmao. This time next year let’s shoot for number 1
I registered on genzedong.xyz, I tried a different app (Syphon) and that seemed to work. Not sure what's going on with element
I was able to make an account on the website but I can’t login on the iOS element app. I get an error saying “Cannot find a server at this URL, please check it is correct.”
They also banned existing trans people from adopting. Tragically reactionary
Is the actual anime like a good storyline? And like based politics?
Being more environmentally friendly and cheaper? Where is he pulling that from?
Inventing a new technology from more or less scratch will be way more expensive. And I feel like they’d be comparable environmentally if they are both electric
It was definitely more critical than I was expecting. Surprising how many on the project dissented to its usage. I guess most had expected to use it against Germany while they were actively fighting. The red scare definitely looked like the needless witch hunt it was. Wartime seems to excuse many deplorable behaviours
