@Galena @mewmew @sylveon This thread is a indictment of public education. For shame.

Regarding deaths, its all pretty well documented. There is some controversy, but your free decide on your own.

Second, Capitalism, or more specifically, Free Markets are nothing more than private property and voluntary trade/interaction. We've got plenty of documentation on the mass killings of Communist countries to get those staggeringly high death tolls, but regarding claims like "Capitalism has killed more" I've never seen a source. Go find one and I'll read it.

We've got plenty of documentation to make it clear that Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than anything else in history, though.

Thirdly, nothing about capitalism or free markets prevents a government from being corrupt. Anytime you have a government of any kind, you get corruption. The only grace in this area where Capitalist economies have a boost is that they have less centralized control. That doesn't prevent them from rolling 3rd world governments in south america. Only way to get rid of that is to vastly limit state power.

@sylveon Because its really

"we should make sure everyone has food, clean water, a place to live, maybe healthcare and education too -- by theft and force."

> 1. "alt-left" isn't real.

Whoever is chanting "No USA at all", whoever is punching "Nazis" (which includes, I am given to understand, everyone that is not full-communist, most especially people that tell communists to go away, because they're 100% complicit and probably secret fascists), whoever is tearing down statues, whoever is trying to get speeches and events cancelled, whoever is pulling the fire alarm or storming the stage when they can't get the event cancelled, whoever is in the group that literally took the president of Evergreen University hostage and threatened Dr. Weinstein, that is who is meant by the "alt-left". You don't like the term, whatever, don't pretend that they're not real.

> as long as you're not still holding onto bigoted views

...However those end up getting defined.

@druid @alyx @kick @mewmew @sylveon I can sympathize with that position, but I cannot agree with it. If we can joke about killing anyone, we can joke about killing everyone.

@druid @alyx @kick @mewmew @sylveon "We should kill the billionaires" is a dumb, edgiboi meme. I gave it as much respect as it deserved.

@ebihara oh and another thing
riot defaults to matrix.org or modular.im
which are both new vector
it hides using a non vector instance behind "advanced settings"
at least on mobile
i havent used riot on pc in forever, i tend to use quanternion when i need matrix despite its missing features

Any decentralized platform with a flagship instance is completely missing the point.

@thatbrickster @ebihara oh cool and basically every big project that switched to matrix from irc use modular.im
very nice
they might as well use telegram or slack at that point
like mozilla
why did mozilla switch from irc anyways?
besides them completely neglecting their server of course

I was just driven past a 7-11 and saw an advertisement for a 69 "cent" soda.

Is there really a unit of currency smaller than a dollar?

@matrix not all racism is bad. When I was the Mayor of New York City, I was faced with the difficult fact that black people commit more crimes.

Well, I accepted that fact and responded to it accordingly. We arrested hundreds of thousands of delinquent drug users, most of them African American. And you're going to tell me that racism is bad?
