But he does have that lack of morality to at least try

The more people know about this, the møte they can do these things themselves

Like, you and I could do this to our local shop for example, although, I'd probably talk with the workers there first haha. If the workers are going to keep flipping them back then there won't really be too much point

It's always funny to me when people call Linux complicated and in the next sentence say shit like that

As if doing registry edits and group policy stuff is acceptable for basic features and settings

No, I live in the EU, the same capitalistic problems exist here, they're just slowed down a bit due to social democracy. But don't get me wrong, the fundamental issues are here just as much as anywhere else on the globe

Capitalism is not directly an ideology by itself, no, but it is a massive fundamental part of a given ideology. There's a reason most ideologies revolve around the economic system, because it's so pervasive in everything we do. From the things we do every day, to the way we interact with others, to the way we get access to resources and services we need and want, to where we live, to how we think

What you need to keep in mind, is that under capitalism there will always be a profit incentive to undermine the system for even further profit. This is what collapses civilizations, this is what makes society fall apart in the long run

Making a capitalistic economy work for the benefit of everyone, for the people, is like trying to swim upstream all the time, forever. It would be much much more internally consistent to just have a river you swim downstream with. In other words, an economy based on cooperation, not competition. A civilization based on competition is almost an oxymoron, civilization itself is fundamentally a cooperative environment. Why do we tack competition on top of that?

Limitus test between those who know and those who don't know

Regarding the capitalism part

I'd say that what we see today is the logical conclusion of capitalism. In a way it's a broken system, it just takes time to collapse. But growing wealth inequality and consolidation of power are inherent problems in capitalism, and we were always going to see times like this. I mean, for further example, look at climate change and how it's damn near impossible to actually solve the problem

It's more that there is little political will for an alternative system, but don't get me wrong, if humanity wants to survive in the long run, there is no easy way out. I seriously do think that, either humanity makes a global economy that serves people, and not capital, or we will self-destruct due to systemic incentives of the profit incentive

We really are at the point where doing what the allies (US) did in WW2 is unacceptable content huh?

Mockery of history

I can tell you that, no, you cannot always "just bounce back". Maybe you can, good for you, but that does not apply to everyone

Always been told that one-dimensional characters are boring and unrealistic

..and yet here we are

People are still fucking saying that? I thought after literal Nazi salutes they'd finally realize we were right all along

There are more modern standards now with better lossy compression :3

I don't think I've seen much of them in extreme conditions like this though, but it would be interesting to see for fun
