Ah, Zombocom. Good times were had at Zombocom. Great times, in fact. I met my wife on Zombocom. I even found my job through Zombocom. Hell, Zombocom found me my house.
Come to think of it, there isn’t a thing I have I don’t owe to Zombocom. Zombocom taught me a lot, too. I learned how to sew thanks to Zombocom. How to white water raft. How to program assembly. How to build a tent, light a fire. Zombocom taught me how to cook a meal, taught me Spanish, how to walk, taught me the waltz, and how to talk. Hey now… Zombocom taught me blacksmithing, and how to brush my teeth and make my bed.
The anguish isn’t the confounding factor here. No one’s saying you shoudn’t care, there is no ingroup mentality etc. You just didn’t specify a place. That’s literally it.
If you said, “there’s ice cream,” I also would assume you meant somewhere close.
Don’t move the goalposts. You didn’t say we don’t. You said we aren’t able. We absolutely are.
You’re taking a quirk of language and trying to spin some commentary on human nature out of it.
Fuck off with your pseudo-intelelctual bullshit. All the sentence needs is “in Gaza” and you’ll get the response you were looking for. Stop trying to make people hate humanity, thanks.
If your goal is to engender love between “tribes” (stupid fucking word in this age) then stop spreading hate for any reason, even if the reason is that people don’t immediately assume “across the world” when you vaguely refer to events.
Why do you keep trying to connect this to the outdated notion of tribes? You seem to have a conclusion planned and are trying to build arguments towards it. That’s not how logic works.
Tribes or nationalism, what’s the difference except perhaps size ?
Did you hear me championing nationalism?
if it’s a commentary on human nature, then we’re fucked,
You’re all over the place, dude.
i like the current meaning of being humane.
Okay??
I know we’re capable of the best, we’re simply not perfect and must improve
I can agree here.
abandoning tribalism/nationalism and helping each other has been asked for millenias and it may happen but i hope it won’t be at the cost of our diversity.
I believe it can happen, without sacrificing diversity.
This year we made good progress. You know, Linux gaming becoming better, Reddit fucking up, Metaverse failing etc. But on the other hand Big Tech has or are planning to make some moves. Such as, Google’s Web Enviroment Integrity API (EDIT: they backed off), UK’s encryption bill, etc....

In my opinion, Marx wrote his conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion.
I can’t fathom the arrogance of people who say “Marx just didn’t think of x, y or z”. He invariably did, and a quote is easily found to prove them wrong. Yet they continue to say this bollocks. “Marx didn’t consider human nature, Marx didn’t know about x obscure economic theory,” on and on until the cows come home. Capital has 3 volumes, and each is thick and heavy enough to make a decent murder weapon. They are so long precisely because he did do the thinking you accuse him of not doing.
The one single thing we can legitimately say he didn’t anticipate was the computer revolution, and it in fact only strengthens his theories, as digital technology has gone on to strengthen the hold of capital, and laid bare its incestuous relationship with the State.
Oh, get fucked if you’re gonna try the pedantic game. Go ahead and tell me how I got it wrong and what you really meant if you’re gonna try this sleazy tactic. Otherwise, stfu with your bollocks.
Is this a fucking joke? Your own quote there shows you claiming he just wrote down whatever he thought would prove his already decided conclusion, and didn’t bother to think about it properly.
alt textIt’s hard to imagine a more extraordinary claim than that some hidden intelligence created a universe of more than a hundred billion galaxies, each containing more than a hundred billion stars, and then waited more than 13.7 billion years until a planet in a remote corner of a single galaxy evolved an atmosphere...
“Come into being” is veeeery different from “created”. Also, there’s no reason to believe it ever even did that. For something to begin, it must have been preceded by time in which it didn’t exist. Time is a function of the universe, so it makes no sense to say anything happened “before time”.
Coming into being and being created are the same thing, depending on your definition
My definition for creation requires a creator. And to be clear, creators are conscious agents choosing to create. A wave, for instance, has no creator - it comes into being when water currents collide and move together.
Our consciousness is most likely just an emergent effect of our chemistry, which is an emergent effect of plain physics. The same physics that causes star systems to form causes ant colonies to form.
Agreed.
So “god”, “nature”, “natural selection”, etc could be entities with a conscience in some plane of existence that we don’t understand.
This is a leap of logic to me. It’s conceivable, I’ll admit, but many things are conceivable, such as Cthulhu.
I’m an atheist because I don’t believe in a dumb ancient book, but I accept that there can be things well beyond human comprehension.

Where does it say it has to be an individual? Workers could be the messiah
Lmao no. Not how messiah narratives work lad. Messiahs are heroic individuals. Stories about groups overcoming oppression are called revolutions or rebellions. Read a fucking book, mate.
you don’t “empathise with the capitalist” don’t lie to yourselves
Yes, yes I do. Because I know if I were in that position, I’d feel pretty damn awful about it. It’s hard enough just giving orders to begin with. It’s not a position that should exist. We seem to intuitively understand this with kings, but somehow capitalists is too far for people these day.
Nope, they would be working class getting what they deserve. Also, no one overthrew capitalism is Russia. They didn’t have capitalism to begin with. Learn your history. They also never ended up with communism, if that’s what you’re gonna say. They had a state capitalism. And the veneration of individuals ia another clue we’re not dealing with a system about the people.
I just love how you keep trying to prove me wrong, but can only find examples that prove me right. It’s beautiful.
Is a fly a real kangaroo? Definitions exist for a reason. Communism is stateless - the USSR had a state. Communism is moneyless - but they still used money. Communism erases class distinctions - guess what else? The USSR had class distinctions. Sorry buddy. You can tell me you have a car, but if it only has two wheels and no motor, it’s probably just a bicycle.
Yes, because it wasn’t flying! To fly, a human needs tools, like a plane, helicopter or hang glider. Then you can achieve real flight. Just like real communism requires class consciousness and a proletariat willing to lead themselves in revolution to abolish capitalism, the state and class.
I see no possible way to interpret your statements as anything other than proving my point that things can only be achieved a certain way.
…ok? So, you haven’t managed to prove a state is necessary to protect yourself. You haven’t even proved that “raiders” even exist outside of a Civilization game.

Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income.
