No no, it was the advice that would personally benefit me the most. It was the “get with the times” and “it’s objectively better” attitude that pissed me off. He wasn’t telling me about the sad reality but questioned why I would question the norm.
What pissed me off is that when I was in university, I spoke with a career coach and I mentioned I wanted to make a website for my portfolio, and he just said why don’t you use LinkedIn. I explained him why it’s bad to use a proprietary tool, he just didn’t get it.
Man, so many times I want to go back in time and punch him in the face (not really, but I should have reacted more harshly back then and never took his advice).
I mean this is exactly why GDPR and legislation that dictates users own their data is so important.
This is not a Reddit thing this is just double standards…
Yeah I guess this post would be the one situation where nobody would work better
Imo they are trying to set the tone.
I would go with “meanwhile” personally
I think the right takeaway from this is that Trump is just bad, not evil, just bad.
Chaney and Reagan wanted the haves to have more, at the expensive of the have nots.
Trump is peddling stuff that means the haves will actually have less in the near future (looking at you project 2025).
So this has nothing to do with morality, just a pragmatic move.
Isn’t this lemmy.world?
I’m not even mad, rather clever.
Here is an opportunity to use it: https://sh.itjust.works/post/25206228
It outsources the blame and hides the connection from those who lack critical thinking.
All liberal capitalists want a full on chain of commands and dictator level control over their domain employees. The only difference is that they want “market forces” to force people to work for them instead of violence.
Devs that don’t have any other choice cause of reasons.
I don’t think the youth of Japan should pop out kids. That’s what the leaders want. The youth want a better life, which if provided, would probably make them want to procreate more (not that they have to).
My point was that cannabis is not gonna have positive effects (my guess) given how things are and how little chance there is for young people to have financial stability and comfort.
Of course they will, it’s not on them to do so differently.
Imo it’s on democrats and “left leaning parties” to appeal to young men and maybe put similar attention to men’s issues as they do for women’s.
I don’t find that hard to believe at all, young men are not fans of feminism and it’s affecting their judgment of leftist economic policies.
I mean, you can define it differently for sure, but modern politics basically use left and right wing as whether you want more hierarchy vs equality. Once you established that, the question becomes, do you force that by authority or do you do systems thinking to get the environment to encourage that.
There are right wing people who believe in small government. They want hierarchy and “better” people to be on top, they just either want the market to decide (old school cons) or by taking it by force (GQP).
But I do agree with you, right wing politics will always end up with a minority having most of the power, the how is what separates Trump vs Cheney.
Yes, which is what differentiates them from the old country club conservatives, they don’t just have right wing views of the economy, they want a leader with absolute power.
Which is why it’s so dangerous and we shouldn’t be taking about left or right wing but authority vs freedom.
Right and left wing are not the same as authority and lack of authority, it’s actually a different dimension (as shown on political compasses).
Japan’s issue is their hierarchy and authority, them being right wing is not really what makes cannabis incompatible.
Idk where the right wing connection came from
I disagree, I think socialism can and will beat capitalism eventually.
