That’s not what Alakazam is talking about here though. Just by owning land, it generates money, magically, from “nothing”. And then the vast majority of landowners use that as excuse to entrench their wealth and then you get… Waves hands at hyperinflated rent crisis what we’re all stuck in now.
Whether someone wants to be one of the “good land owners” or not doesn’t change the fact that the system is set up for the ones that want to exploit it
After reading your post, I’m more on the side of following beehaw to the format that suits them best. I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t finding those quality posts here after a while, and what you said about them being quickly pushed out in favor of new content makes a lot of sense.
Although I came here through the rexodus, I agree that the Reddit style format still carries a lot of problems that I’d rather not keep, and it’s important to have a quality space I can post (also because I’m trans and need those spaces too)
I do still feel a need for the dopamine rush of cat pics and memes, so I’m not sure if there’s a way to hybridize that with a forum? If not, there’s always burner Lemmy accounts (or Tumblr lol) for that
Luddites, the original ones were pretty rad. They were anti tech for anti capitalist reasons.
I agree that Luddite is the more correct term since it’s more general now, but I hate that the term got warped over time to mean anyone that hates any new tech
This is a men’s lib forum, and men’s liberation is pro feminist (feel free to check the wiki or that nice bell hooks quote trending on this forum if you disagree).
By being a strong ally to women, men benefit too, and I choose to keep doing that.
You can have the last word if you like, I’m gonna peace out here.
Feminism gave women all of the same rights and privileges as men
Feminism hasn’t done that yet, we’re nowhere near equal rights and opportunities for women and if you don’t believe me, look at the gender balance in US government roles and who has the money and power.
Let’s focus on dismantling patriarchy and the harm it creates for men as well.
Give yourself lots of time. It’s been years for me (slow, gradual process) and I still deadname from time to time. And I’ve learned to go easy on myself when it happens, it’s helped a lot in my case
I won’t call it pacifist mode exactly, but I prefer to play games like Tears of the Kingdom or even GTA by just walking around slowly and taking photos, observing the scenery. GTA San Andreas (the old ps2 version) is weirdly great for this because it has so many hazy colors and jaggy lines.
