Future? Bitch, the present is well done as it is

It is really crazy that this weird china apologism is so common here.

Its the type of shit you’d expect to see more on reddit, but instead its on lemmy way more.

They can’t even use the usual enshittification excuses, this is just being greedy dicks.

The usual enshitification excuses are companies just being greedy dicks, and more than anything, a lack of regulation enforcement existing to stop companies simply outspending other companies out of business.

Where “happy” is a euphemism for something not to be said amongst mixed company.

This is ultimately just punching sideways and down though.

These companies will win when your strategy is to simply shit on other people for existing.

You may not think that is what you’re doing but it is. How so? Because while you care about this area of life enough to get into the details, for other people, their areas of care are completely different, and it is unreasonable for you to expect everyone to care about precisely what you care about.

As such, punching down and sideways only serves the purpose of making an environment where only the rich and powerful band together, and the poor (us) routinely infight and chop off our own legs rather than realizing that these megacorps hiring leagues of lobbyists, psychologists, marketers, etc know exactly how to push, and know that exactly the person you are bitching at will almost certainly never see your comment, or will consider it hostile and irrelevant so it wont matter either way.

Like every comment like yours that I have ever seen, I would bet money you didn’t quite say what you are claiming to say here, didn’t say it in a way that would imply the same thing, and didn’t get quite the reaction you are saying you got.

Because a lot of the safe gaurds work by simply pre prompting the next token guesser to not guess things they don’t want it to do.

Its in plain english using the “logic” of conversations, so the same vulnerabilities largely apply to those methods.

Don’t forget the single digit millions that pretended that the mentally incompetent rapist fascist was the same as a generic corporatist neoliberal and encouraged people to stay home.

That was based on military contributions, but as the commenter below points out it turns out the situation is even worse than what I described rather than better unless I read that wrong?

Because Europe has had half a decade to fill the void and they can’t get it done and continue to act like cost efficiency is the name of the game.

Europeans seem to want to rag on about the US being irrelevant while being completely unwilling to put their money where their mouths are.

I am very supportive of Europe, but they need to wake up to that reality and stop bickering about pennies.

They should have been at wartime production years ago, and yet they still don’t even have a 5th let alone 6th gen fighter jet.

The fact that the USA, who is currently chopping its own legs off, is managing to provide just about equally to the Ukrainian war effort to you, who are literally neighbours, should be embarrassing and sobering, but instead people just keep complaining and expecting the US to both shut up, and fix it.

There is at least one Robo vac that does not rely on the cloud, and personally I can’t imagine feeling comfortable with a robovac being cloud connected for no reason.

This is well said. So many people don’t get that of course these companies know you hate this shit.

They’re just trying to boost their stock value and violate your privacy harder.

Yup.

You seem to think MAGAs act within the boundaries of the law… must be nice to be so innocent

In no universe could anything I said be reasonably summarized as this. Its actually pretty ridiculous this is the conclusion you came to.

First of, I have ever said people should not vote.

Because implications don’t exist right?

I am simply stating the fact that it will not be enough, not anymore.

Which just encourages people not to vote if you’re saying it doesnt help.

Second, you keep the “until that happens” as if that make any sense… You are the one moving the goal post here to justify inaction.

Im sorry bud, what actions are there exactly that you’re so willing to step up to take?

As far as I understand it, any action that I’m advocating for is apparently justifying inaction, but actions further than that would mean you couldn’t be talking to me right now.

You do not want to sacrifice anything to get your country out of the hole you allow it to get… and news flash, once the power grab is complete (you are 98% there) there will be no option left… every minute you allow to pass doing fuck all, is a minute you are closer to having NO OPTIONS LEFT

Once again, what are you doing buddy?

Yet your “strategy” here is to do nothing an wait 19 months to cast a ballot… where did I say it was one battle?

You really like to imply a shit ton from nothing so that you can argue against strawmen dont you.

The question starts out with a strawman argument. The full comment included “All that time, youll need to replace the old guard with more progressive members through overwhelming support in primaries, and being active in state and local politics.”

There also aren’t many countries that have the same political situations as the USA. What other countries are democratic republics with extremely slow constitutional and political inertia, top class military and insane intelligence capabilities.

The question doesnt make sense. This is a one of one.

As humorous as this sounds, this is not at all how battery chemistries works.

Some chemistries just charge faster than others.

for the common types of Lion or Lipo batteries, they max out pushing 2C which is around 30 minutes.

For something like LTO, where you lose capacity/density, you can get that up to like 4C (very rough numbers here as this all depends on the temperature of the battery while charging, age and other factors).

So like… this could have been accurate if this was referring to switching to LTO, but afaik, no one makes LTO batteries in this form-factor (not that it can’t be done though).

we can’t know the alternative timeline where the democrats would have won; but if their past behaviour is any indication they would have acted over confident and let the republicans walk all over them as before

In what universe does this make any sense. The republicans wouldn’t have the political power to do that.

what we can do is look at the present and easily see that the fascist grab of power is basically complete and there is zero chance they will give up power

And until that happens, there is no point in try to get people not to participate.

I’m canadian but your are making my point, Americans are too gaslit, selfish and uninformed to even vote rationaly

And you only help that with your encouragement of voter apathy.

do you think the magas would be this enboldened if any republican had been accountable?

I’m not arguing against that, Im pointing out that its a constant fight, not one battle.

Nothing is just a distraction. They’re all just similarly evil parts of the plan, that they have fully documented, and that people just kinda keep ignoring.

Are you denying that if people had voted for the democrats just a few percent more this year project 2025 would not have been stopped, as trump likely would be dead when it came time for the next event?

If people stayed sharp, they would be kept down.

Of course the DNC could do more. The question is could you, the people, do any less to secure your democracy.

The DNC is far from perfect, but what they do is out of our control except in the ways I literally covered at the start of this chain.

I don’t get how people act like there should just be this sudden moment where once and for all fascists will disappear. It will and has always been a continuous fight.

I do not hope everyone starts talking like Mamdani tomorrow.

Mamdani talked for NYC and its problems. My hypothetical Mamdani would just be quick witted, and talk about active solutions for the people, but on the federal scale. I by no means think people would magically agree to everything Mamdani is talking about. It was about a shift in messaging to being about pragmatic change for the people. not fighting progressives within the party etc.

What won’t work is "let’s divide ourselves as progressives vs. establishment, pro vs tepid trans support, split every hair and make ourselves look like the weak navel-gazers they paint us as. Stop dithering about **who is “DNC” and who isn’t. **

Im not sure I follow that last part. The DNC is a very real organization with very real leaders and goals. Its not something that is disputed, its a factual, existing organization.

We need to identify and empower these people within the Democratic party, and that might mean putting side differences to build the big tent coalition we need.

Part of the problem, is that you need a draw, and if you can’t use hate, you have to use appealing to the common person with change. The idea that its about a bigger tent, is something that needs change within the DNC/Old gaurd too.

They don’t seem to want to accept the progressive elements, and Im not talking about the people online who say nonsense about third parties or revolutions, I mean people like AOC, Bernie, Mamdani. They fight them tooth and nail, and thats part of the problem. Of course, as I mentioned, we can’t solve that though, as we’re not part of the DNC, hence the solution I recommend.

Its interesting that both comments that push the nonsense of voter apathy and non participation in the only political system you have needed to completely take a singular part of a multi stage solution out of context to attempt to ridicule it.

If I had just said supporting the democrats and left it at there you might have had a point, actually no, you still wouldn’t as the “light it all on fire mentality” is just anti human. Instead though, you have a very poorly constructed strawman argument, and the response to the other person with a similar style of comment is just as applicable here, but even more so since you are so blatant in your misrepresentation.
