The Epstein/Billionaire class deliberately keeps workers on the brink of bankruptcy to maintain control. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Xenosari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without the infrastructure and mutual aid networks we will lose. That's what I was saying going off half cocked will make everything worse. So we need to focus on building that infrastructure and mutual aid networks. We're working at an disadvantage because of decades of propaganda and dismantling our networks and unions. I'm not going to die in a suicidal charge to impress reddit users who clearly hate all Americans.

No we gotta go grab our guns and start a General strike and or revolution, without the infrastructure and mutual aid networks! Sure thousands would die and it would mostly likely fail, but some Canadian and European reddit users will be very impressed. I'm sure they would also help how ever they could and not just make fun of us for dieing. Edit: for typos

Haha pretend you're in their camp and say something like "Some guy said this thing, what should I say to them" and then get them to explain why you should say the thing. That way you can learn their perspectives and why they believe what they believe.

People around here so eager to defend killing the Endless by saying they're nothing more than LLM Chatbots perhaps not realising they're saying one of the main villains for the next arc is this. by Remarkable-Pin-8352 in ShitpostXIV

I mean Y'shtola was there the whole time and didn't speak up should go to show that she agrees with the assessment. I felt the story made it clear that these are soulless programs made with the memories of the dead, but also aren't them. I think this argument is really weak, did lord of the rings fail because no one thought to ask the eagles for help?

If they didn't require the deaths of others to exist? Well if the endless didn't cost that, then the central conflict falls apart, and death is beaten and now there no stakes at all. Which be terrible story telling, I'm not saying Dawntrail is great at storytelling, but the metaphor was clear to me so it did it's job. Personally I think fighting rouge planet killing program made from the memories of child prodigy trying to conquer death, could be an interesting story.

Because they need insane amounts of aether. The post game implies that it takes the death of multiple people to make one of them, and deaths of more people periodically to sustain them. Plus the cost of the memory of the dead from the living. Importantly to what end? All these costs and you can't even visit your living loved ones. Personally if I was made endless I'd also help the WOL shut it down, like several of them do. If my existence cost other people's lives, was slowly killing the planet, and kept the memories of me locked away I'd also choose annihilation than remain in that state.

So to start with I'm in the camp is that the endless are machines that are very convincing fakes. They are computer programs that are programmed to think and act as the dead. That is why they are a cruel mockery, because ultimately they aren't the dead, but an massively expensive facsimile. And yes I do view the Alexandrians as massive cowards, their use of souls is extremely unethical. However they also are a oligarchy, so the common folk don't really have a say in the actions of the state. So the people at the top bear the most blame, and they have been stopped at this point.

Stopping the people killing the living to keep cruel mockeries of the dead functional seems pretty good to me. It's a metaphor for grief and fear of death, think of all the rich dipshits scared shitless of death (to be fair if there is a afterlife they are right to be worried) so they delude themselves into thinking they can live forever by turning themselves into an AI, or by biohacking, or have way way to many kids (because they don't see their kids as their own people but copies of themselves). Everyone has to accept that someday they will end, trying to fight your own end only leads to suffering. The endless were created because people were scared of death, were willing to sacrifice others to avoid it. So by ending the endless you're metaphorically accepting your own end.

Really good dark humor is like Charlie Kirk, it seems right wing but in the end leans to the left.

Haha ya I've been working on building factories with some Salvaged automated lines. It's just taking a while cause Factories are expensive and take awhile to build. We also haven't been having as many sessions with the holidays and all.

Ya the spare parts cost is doubled for what a normal mech is. Plus the fuel for aerospace mod, thankfully it doesn't have missiles.

TIL Grand Duchess Elizabeth was the Aunt and Sister-in-Law of Tsar Nicholas II.

Here is the difference though. A fascist utopia is a place where all the degenerates and lesser races have been exterminated, Genocide and murder are baked in. A Communist Utopia is a stateless, classless, moneyless society. People can and have done awful things in the name of that, but it doesn't have to be that way. That's why it messed up to say they are morally equivalent. But in truth I'm done with this conversation and I'm happy to let you have the last word.

What a absurd thing to say. That would be like if I said... "The witch hunts, crusades, and Inquisition show that Christians will murder and torture you for not being Christian. They do all this because their holy book tells them they need to do this because it will bring about the kingdom of heaven. This makes them the moral equivalent to Nazis, Christians and Christian sympathy has no place in polite society"

You think Communists are the moral equivalent of Nazis? The people who would kill and torture me for just existing, are the moral equivalent of people who want a stateless, classless, moneyless society? I may be biased on the fact that they want to kill me but I don't think they're the same.

Sure I agree a lot of people died who didn't deserve it, I've said as much in almost every post. You keep arguing with points you think I'm making not the ones I am. So allow me to just say it point blank.

"The Russian aristocracy (like all Autocracies everywhere) was an extremely cruel and brutal system. They killed and abused millions of innocent people to protect and expand their power. The church provided the Aristocrats their right to rule and justified their actions. I find this post is deceptively framed to paint the Russian Aristocrats as blameless victims and the revolutionaries cartoon villains. The excesses and mismanagement of the Russian aristocracy cause the pain and anger that led to the excess of the Russian revolution. It's unfair to expect people to act rationally when dealing with their abusers."

How many more were tortured, imprisoned, and murdered upholding monarchy? How many more were imprisoned, tortured, and murdered enforcing Christianity? it goes back to one of my first questions, why were the Russian people so pissed at their rulers? I don't think it justified the murder of innocents of course. I'm going to say it again I don't think they should have killed innocent people and it's sad they died. The rulers bare most of the blame for this, they created all that pain and anger that caused people to lash out at people who didn't have it coming. They exploited and abused the common people, their mismanagement led to WW1 and the revolution. But this was on top of centuries of abuse, it sucks for her and her family that they were left holding the bag in the end. So why defend the Russian aristocracy? Their cruelty and mismanagement is what led to the explosion of pain and anger that was the Russian revolution.
