They did do this and when I read the thread announcing the new rules literally every comment chain was about how fucking dumb the mods are for doing that lmao, I didnt read one comment in support of it of course.

The admins of antiwork will not listen to anyone, they’ve probably already written it off as ‘tankie bots’ and the notion of doing direct democracy with there userbase and not just ruling as a cheap imitation of a vanguard, just without the education, theory or ideological rigor to manifest it and convince people they are worth leading them outside of their mod discord server.

edit: the facade is breaking

Posting on a website ran by an upper class fascist is just giving your name to the upcoming hitlist

You could just go on X if you feel like it, no ones stopping you. I dont know why anyones surprised a ‘ML’ website doesnt want to host content by the literal richest person on the planet who just seig heiled on a TV multiple times.

Meta isn’t quite there yet, but heading in the same direction.

Not all US media is the same.

You’re right, some of it tells you to vote for the red team, the other tells you to vote for the blue team.

I agree, the US media isnt as bad as nazi germany, its worse!

All of these answers accurately describe parts of the elephant 👍

Every answer apart from the one I provided*

I think they shoot stuff

edit real answer:

They are what the upper class use when they want to do something but need to say ‘studies show…’,

If the people they pay dont say what they want they fire them or hire a different group of people until they find someone who agrees to say what they want to say.

Its what happens when you remove reproducibility from research and corrupt the funding process as well as not only attempting to avoid research bias, but obfuscate it as much as possible.

No lol the country with the largest prison population, that generates private profit by holding its people captive and hands out billions of dollars to police, the DEA and the FBI to capture them, well it just needs to hand out even more billions of dollars of “resources” to these agencies so they can lock up the real criminals and then crime will be properly dealt with!

The people in prison for dealing drugs arent the same people dealing drugs with bitcoin, you conflate gang members, prescription drug resellers and corner standers with the profile of a typical darknet drug dealer, which arent the same demographics for the most part.

No way you actually think this is reality. No way enforcement could just be a deeply inefficient way of dealing with crime and the low hanging fruit along with making a show of token arrests is really all they care about.

Its the reality in the UK at least, only drug dealers who get caught here are the ones trying to ship in millions of worth of cocaine, the prisons are actually all full here and most drug crimes dont even get charged because the time limit they have to charge people expires by the time the courts become available.

As for the US, it remains a convient excuse for the police to suppress votes from demographics the upper class needs supressed; you wont be finding the people who supply elon musk with ketamine going to prison anytime soon, they will be smart enough to use monero!

And it was still quite literally used by 10,000’s of vendors to sell illegal drugs?

I dont think it would have even been a thing if it was as easy as you suggest to catch people selling drugs on it. Sure, with enough resources, a dedicated law enforcement team can likely bust a drug dealer using BTC; but like with most things involving drugs and Neo-liberalism, the prisons are all full, the police are underfunded and can only occasionally make token arrests and the people who arent low hanging fruit get in and out without any interaction with the police.

this one said the quiet part out loud

If anything he made it easier for the rich to wash their money and buy ketamine

As always violence is a result of fed involvement, remove them from the picture and everything is fine.

my brother is free thanks for giving us a platform that allowed a safer way of acquiring and consuming drugs

Maybe it’s just a societal expectation and people will frown/comment if you don’t go, but I doubt you’re getting fired over it or a parade you missed some years ago will bite you in the ass.

Some cultures in the west not going to the church on a sunday would lead to negative social outcomes, in Cuba they replaced church on a Sunday with paying homage to workers all over the world on May Day, seems fine to me.

For the “mansions for the higher-ups, squalor for the populace”

Kinda weird one, I dont think Cuba even has homeless people, this is castro’s home;

I suspect this is just the typical narrative an ex-cuban will internalize about corruption at a higher level while not recognizing that the country they live ins wealth gap is surely larger than cuba’s by a large amount.

whataboutism

You realize foreigners (e.g. students, people on work visas) get shitty ass insurance that is nowhere near as good as the national insurance right?

Why should I care about this? I think you’l find it hard to find any socialized healthcare system that doesnt charge people who dont pay tax towards it???

Like is your understanding of ‘socialized healthcare’ just ‘when the government does stuff for free?’

It was most similar to feudal japan, lots of smaller clans engaging in feudal-industrial labor relations with borders enforced through violence against other clans.

Scottish clans engaged in slavery in the later period, its best not to mysticize them too much.
