I’m not an architecture buff, but I don’t think that’s what this is.

You think that’s wasteful? Wait until you hear about the military or prisons.

It can be useful if they build enough of these that they can run programs that regular computers can’t run at this scale, in less than an hour.

Quantum computers aren’t a replacement for regular computers because they’re much slower and can’t do normal calculations, but they can do the type of problem where you have to guess-and-check too many answers to be feasible with regular computers in many fewer steps.

Running for office wouldn’t have stopped the CEO from continuing to murder thousands, since the CEO and his shareholders literally spend billions making sure people who would stop them don’t get elected.

Killing a CEO doesn’t solve anything, another will take his place, and surely he knew that.

Yeah, this is why adventurism doesn’t really work. The guy’s actions were ineffective at systemic change, however just they may have been.

Luigi wasn’t really in a position where he could stop the CEO through any lesser use of force.

Vigilante justice indicates a failure in the system to administer justice.

It is absolutely in society’s interest that someone who has caused deaths and misery of thousands is punished.

There are not security cameras all the way.

He may also had no intention of disposal

The whole point of a ghost gun is to be able to throw it away and have it not traced back to you.

It was a ghost gun, he could have thrown it into any ditch and not have it traced back to him.

There’s a bunch of ancient Egyptian cosmetic spoons floating around you might be able to pick up at a flea market.

Wildly unethical to buy given that they were looted from egypt.

What little thing are you being attacked for? The worst I’ve experienced was being called an atlanticist in a discussion on North Korean military preparedness.

They killed far fewer people under siege than capitalism does when it’s running entirely unopposed and with half the planet being immiserated for its benefit. Every year capitalism causes about 846,000 excess deaths in America alone.

The most obvious lie being claiming that hexbear was federated with lemmy.world and were just so awful they had to be defederated.

Being heavily devoted to a heavily disproven ideology

China is the largest economy in the world and has brought nearly a billion people out of poverty. Within a single lifetime, the USSR went from peasant farmers experiencing regular famine to putting people in space. And then capitalism brought back famine in the 90s. Cuba has a longer life expectancy than America.

While most users on hexbear are MLs, there’s still contingents of anarchists, like 2 trots, and some other left ideologies.

Weird how an ideology that depends on rejecting ideas and evidence keeps adapting to new evidence and contexts.

I wonder why Cuban marxism is so different than Chinese marxism which is different from Soviet marxism, which is different from every south american country’s marxisms.

One might even think they’re taking a Scientific approach to Socialism.

If the opposition has inconvenient facts, just tell the audience opposition is an asshole you shouldn’t listen to.

purity tests

What purity test exactly do you feel is too much? Respecting pronouns? Not supporting capitalism? Not doing racism? I’m not aware of anything they ban for that any reasonable leftist shouldn’t pass.

Thankfully those of us on world have not had to deal with them for the better part of a year.

.world was never federated with hexbear, .world defederated “preemptively, as a last resort”

This perception is common on .world because some liberals have been lying about hexbear to encourage censoring the left even before then.

Capitalist doesn’t mean someone who supports capitalism, those people are called liberals, capitalists are people who own significant amounts of capital.

Typically it’s only used to refer to the big capitalists, your car dealership owners to owner-operator plumbers are small capitalists whose class interests are generally opposed to both workers and big capitalists.

Less than 1% of the population are big capitalists, and of them I’d support all of them getting rehabilitated once they’re no longer a threat, the death penalty only makes sense against active threats IMO.

Though China has had some success using the death penalty in cases of gross social murder, such as when a baby formula maker poisoned a dozen babies, several executives were executed, and they haven’t had any baby formula contamination since.

Will you be shooting every capitalist in the US?

Historically socialist states are very pro-rehabilitation, once the former ruling class is not an immediate threat. PuYi for example, the last emperor of China, who’d been a willing puppet of Japan, ended up living his life doing menial jobs such as street sweeper, actor, gardener, and tour guide.

Nicholas II on the other hand, had white armies fighting just a few hundred miles away and potentially the armies of Europe making him an active threat.
