Ah yes. I knew I wasn’t going to make many friends with that comment but I think it’s an honest appraisal of what both sides think of each other. 😆

Kdr?

Lemmy.world is a den full of libs who will wholeheartedly approve of any meager band-aid solutions over the festering wounds of our western economic systems, even if it continues to make it worse, provided it’s not quite as terrible as whatever the fascists over the other side of the aisle propose.

Lemmy.ml is a den full of marxist-leninist tankies who will wholeheartedly support any authoritarian and imperialist regime provided it’s an enemy of most imperialist state of them all : the USA.

Do people struggle that much more to divide dollars compared to feet?

I mean I totally get that base 12 is pretty cool for calculator-less maths (though not as cool for base 60) but ultimately, we still have a base 10 numbering system.

So yea, base 10 units for base 10 numbers. Using the same all the way down makes it easier to learn how to handle the more complicated divisions in all cases, you don’t have to switch logic if you see what I mean.

Of course, to each their own. The best case for metric remains that it’s the system everyone else has agreed on.

So the rich are so rich that they create inflation, just not because of literal hoarding, got it.

Thanks for the insight

Do you know of !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone ?

Don’t mean to imply that your post, or any women/gender-centric post, is not welcome here, I certainly think it is, but also posting over there might help you reach more women and further help you get the answers you are looking for.

Fascism is stupid.

I mean, all of what one might construe as benefits of fascism would be better served otherwise: strengthening your country, a sense of belonging, public order…

You’ll experience a much stronger sense of belonging if you don’t push your neighbors to hate you because you’ve arbitrarily decided to hate them and support doing bad things to them.

Letting armed thugs arbitrarily arrest people is not public order, quite the opposite.

Countries which have fully embraced fascism never stayed strong for very long and lost quite a lot in the process. This is when they were ever strong in the first place.

And I’m not even going to talk about the even more blatant lies (family values, moral righteousness, upholding traditions…)

They have to be otherwise generators start working against each other

Libertarian socialists and anarcho-capitalists!

There’s been a massive leak of data pertaining to the “great Chinese firewall” like a month ago or something. You might want to look into that.
