    The bourgeoisie is bad.

    But the real problem are the billionaires.

    Don’t mix the two, killing all the bourgeois will not help us now. I’m not saying it should be off the table, I’m saying it would be a red herring the billionaires would likely employ to save their asses.

    #killallbillionaires.

    Alternatively, tax all worth beyond 1 billion at a 100% rate, and kill no one.

    Let’s see which happens first…



  • I guess the data mining was the missing ingredient for popularity?

    Data mining was the missing ingredient for its sustainability (in the case it is “free” and centralised. The other two options are “paid”, and “federated”.)

    Once the system is sustainable that way, and the owners get greedy, they then add addiction inducing elements to the platform, designed by psychiatrists and psychologists.

    That is why it is popular.

    “Religion for yourself” in the age of internet of called “personal belief”. So, the term “religion” now only means, like it or not, “institutionalized religion”.

    This is 100% caused by the fact that people “identify” as Y (not using X as a variable, as it is now a fucking confusing buzzword), and are subsequently grouped together in “echo rooms” by various platforms algorithms. This happened so overwhelmingly that in less than a decade, it redefined the default behavior of people, online, and you will now see people automatically seeking those echo rooms. Even on Lemmy, where people are literally seeking instances that will validate their own beliefs, and block those they do not share.

    Genre. “Les phrases dans l’image sont correctes.”. Ou pas…

    Sérieux, y’a moyen d’éviter de sortir des conneries grosses comme la lune avec l’aplomb de Chatte J’ai Pété, des fois? Ça nous changera, tiens. 😮‍💨

    Edit: yeah, the correct phrasing would indeed be “Ça, c’est un tuyau” (“Pipe”, in French, exclusively means “Smoking pipe”, and as a slang, “Face”, or “blowjob”). In the spirit of the joke, “Ça, c’est une pipe” would be acceptable, but only understandable by people who know the English term. However, “C’est une pipe” is absolutely wrong contextually: the lack of the contradiction implied by “ça” creates a semantic disconnect and the two images seem completely unrelated. Not only does it break the humorous device, but it also is absurd enough to be mildly irritating. So, no, the “phrases pictured” are not correct.

    They would not even understand, they practice narciss-ism even more often than rac-ism.

    Also, talking about inclusivity, this is a (probably not fully exhaustive) list of all the "-ism"s. That is how much of an ignorant cretin people using this neologism are.








  • This is actually the reason. Because there is no such thing as “natural intelligence”. Not more than there is “natural strength”. There are natural predispositions, yes, but what you get is function of what training effort you put in. Whether you realise, and/or like, putting effort into training your intelligence, is is another thing. So people who are “above average” were in a favorable environment that fostered their development without it feeling forced, or unnatural. And then, when the environment was replaced by the school’s, it sadly didn’t foster personal development anymore. I would argue we would need to redesign education, now that we have internet. We don’t have to design courses around physical limits.
