Desperation struck huh?

China is capitalism with a red flag, and so is Cuba, and so was the USSR. All failed projects that just returned back to capitalism. The fact you’re trying to argue this shit while coming from lemmy.ml is hilarious. We all know your actual alignment.

China didn’t lift anyone out of poverty. Just like capitalists, they just lowered the poverty threshold. They’re currently oppressing their workers with massive work hours, no choice to join any union that isn’t the government’s, and they still have billionaires.

China is not and will never be socialist. You’re a capitalist with a hammer and sickle.

But Batman DOES uses his billions to help Gotham. The problem is that most of his rogues gallery is composed of high ranking rich mafia bosses, and the rest are completely insane individuals (or even sane people who just LIKE being evil for no reason like Scarecrow who literally gasses people until they die of fright just to study their reactions). You can’t possibly think bribing the Joker with a billion dollars would stop him from bombing orphanages, gassing entire neighborhoods, or LITERALLY NUKING AN ENTIRE CITY.

Investing money into Gotham isn’t gonna stop the Penguin or Black Mask from running protection rackets or bribing cops, it won’t stop Poison Ivy from commiting literal ecoterrorism, and it won’t stop Victor Zsasz from gutting people to death with knives, or Deadshot from assassinating people.

Oh, and another thing: the city is actually fucking cursed with evil black magic. That’s not hyperbole. The city literally makes people evil.

Batman only is a vigilante because his work as Bruce Wayne is not enough.

Sure, but to me it’s like someone wandering into a pride parade and getting offended at the fact there’s leather daddies there.

Again, I ask: Why are you surprised that literal anti-capitalists hate billionaires?

I mean, if you wanted to be in the literal anarchist social media network structure and not see people hating billionaires/politicians/nazis, why did you come here in the first place?

The entire concept of the Fediverse is anarchist. Of course anti-capitalists at large would be on it, because the capitalists are all over every other social media network. And besides, Tumblr constantly tells billionaires/politicians to die despite being corporate-run social media and literally nothing comes out of it.

He’s explicitly talking about detracting people who are “violent” and call him a “bootlicker” for “deescalating”. It seems like it’s moderator speak for “people are saying politicians/billionaires should die and that personally offends me”. It’s enlightened centrism. People came to Lemmy explicitily because Reddit bans you for disliking billionaires now.

Like, the entire concept of the Fediverse is anarchist. It’s a collection of decentralized servers who can connect to each other but have their own rules. Someone going to develop for the LITERAL ANARCHIST SOCIAL MEDIA STRUCTURE and then getting surprised that everyone on it is anti-capitalist and anti-billionaire is the epitome of arrogance and lack of self-awareness.

This is one of the reasons I left Reddit (that and getting banned multiple times in a row). At some point I realized it wasn’t worth it anymore.

Worldnews is the most astroturfed pro-Israel subreddit in the entire site. Anything that talks about Israel-Palestine has hundreds of Mossad trolls working overtime. The only time you’ll see a post in Worldnews being anti-Israel is if the thing being talked about is so damn egregious that the trolls can’t brute force positivity on it. Like the time when someone revealed Israel was using AI to target people and that it was acceptable to kill 100 civilians to get rid of one senior Hamas member.

Turns out when you make a good product while your competitor stagnates, you win!

Almost every old CoD game has this issue unfortunately. And too little people play them for Activision to bother fixing them.

Bro he looks so scrungly

Being bad towards shitty people is a different beast from being bad towards everyone because you assume the worst out of everyone.

Righteous outrage is addicting, but it’s also extremely fucking draining. I left reddit because I’d constantly rage bait myself every day and it was destroying my relationships.

Well, your experience isn’t universal. Most people aren’t like you described.

Maybe you need a change of environment.

You’d be wrong. I’m sorry that you feel this way about humanity, but that is simply not true. And believing that won’t make you a “smart” person. It makes you’re no better than those people, and it also makes you feel worse.

It might be satisfying in the moment to hate humanity, but that satisfaction is fleeting and addicting. Being a misanthrope just brings the worst version of yourself out.

Maybe, but it also means that you’ll be alone for eternity and will never have true friends or camaraderie, and that by itself will consume you.

There is only so many people you can do that to before everyone else catches on and shuns you. All the evil people in the world don’t have any friends and are subject to betrayals and threats in their lives constantly. To me, that’s not a bearable existence. Sure, you got power, but you’re miserable and afraid all the time. Was that really worth it?

Yep. And unlike most toothless consumer protection agencies in the US, Procon does not fuck around. They’ll even straight up force gaming companies to unban someone from a game if the person felt the ban was unfair, and force them to not only return their entire progress, but all of their items and pay them a sum for the damages. Add that to the fact suing in Brazil is completely different than in the US: everyone is assigned a lawyer for absolutely free during the entire process, and customers win cases against big companies all the time without ever having to spend a single cent.

Brazil!
