- Comment on Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves 3 days ago:
There are plenty of bosses like him out there. Completely high on their own shit. He reads about technology in a sci-fi book, and thinks he can Steve Jobs into bullying workers into making it a reality. Completely deludes himself into thinking it’s real and sells it to investors with full confidence. He has no idea of the actual technical challenges and fully convinces himself his genius brain could figure it out if he wasn’t so “busy” all the time. Everything is perpetually just 6 months away.

“I’ll go against the grain”. Proceeds to maintain the status quo and bootlick for fascists.

We can be pretty sure he’s a pedophile though based on his connections to Epstein.
- Comment on Anthony Albanese has praised a lone police officer who pursued a man on a stabbing spree through a shopping mall, saying ‘there is no doubt that she saved lives through her action’ 4 weeks ago:
There’s not a lot of point in an event like this when emotions are high and reactionaries are high on the “heroism”.
But “all cops are bastards” remains true.
In capitalist society the role of the police is to protect the private property of the ruling class and to serve their interests.
Since their inception that has been the role of the police force in Australia, beginning with the genocide of aboriginal people in order to secure land for settlers.
In the 80s and 90s we saw how little the role of the police force is in “protecting and serving the people” as they formed gangs to hunt down, murder, then cover up the murder of queer people.
Can you really justify the role police play in keeping workers from striking and making meaningful change in workplace reform, or in housing where the police use violence to evict the poor in order for the rich to buy up all the houses?
We haven’t even touched on mental health. Why in general are the police called when there’s a mental health crisis? Where are the counsellors, psychiatrists and social workers? Why was someone with schizophrenia allowed to get to the point where they became a threat to the public?
The actions of the individual are justified in this situation. Incidentally police do some good actions sometimes by virtue of the fact that they’re currently the ones with the power, weapons, and authority to act in these circumstances.
But there are much better ways of organising a society that don’t create such disparity, and there are much better ways of protecting communities that aren’t primarily centred on using violence against the poor to protect the greed of the rich.

If you see someone driving a Tesla the correct response is always to point and laugh.
- Comment on Suicide is on the rise for young Americans, with no clear answers 5 weeks ago:
It couldn’t possibly be the overarching system we live under. Surely there’s another explanation that doesn’t call attention to that. What about social media, hip hop or rock n roll music, the lgbtq, or possibly too much avocado toast and coffee?
- Comment on 2 months ago:
The term “proactive policing” is disgusting. It’s harassment, bullying, and terrorism against the working class.
Where is the “proactive policing” of wealthy people exploiting workers, stealing wages, and other crimes?
ACAB.

- Comment on House panel unanimously approves bill that could ban TikTok 2 months ago:
As an individual I’d rather be giving my data to China who probably have no interest in me personally, rather than a Five Eyes country who want my data to spy on me, and have more interest in persecuting me, stopping me at borders, etc.
- Comment on TikTok faces calls for ban amid claims of anti-Israel ‘indoctrination’ 2 months ago:
Heaven forbid the kids should be against the outright mass murder of unarmed men, women, and (mostly) children, the targeted killing of journalists, doctors, and destruction of all hospitals, the blocking of aid, forced starvation, and targeted killing of people in designated “safe zones”.
Where has their sense of bloodthirsty genocide and outright cruelty gone?
- Comment on there's laundry to do and a genocide to stop 2 months ago:
It doesn’t say “from the left”. It says “from both parties”. Biden is the fascist from the other party.
Democrats are in no way, shape, or form part of “the left”.
At bare minimum someone on the left would be completely opposed to capitalism. They might be a mutualist, communalist, anarcho-syndicalist, anarcho-communist, etc.
Democrats are Neo-liberals and support the status quo. Maybe not outright fascists like the Republicans, but they have more in common with Republicans than they do with anyone on the left and when push comes to shove they’re not going to oppose fascism, they’re just going to go along with it. “Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds.”

Same bestie.
I miss the old web before it was just a small bunch of major websites.
Lemmy is good now because it has that old community feel. Hopefully that can be maintained in the future by defederating from corporate and toxic instances.
- Comment on New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion 4 months ago:
Exactly. And on major subreddits it would be much higher. Worldnews at the moment just feels like IDF posting pro-genocide content, commenting, upvoting and agreeing with each other.
Reddit goes in the bin. 🚮
- Comment on Amazon Fires Up Its Space Lasers 4 months ago:
You’re right. This kind of technology might be cool if we lived in a egalitarian world where the technology was a benefit for all humans and built thoughtfully.
Instead we live in an increasingly fascist hellworld where this shit is just going to be one of many competing projects by tech overlords who are just going to pollute our world with more garbage.

- Comment on How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest Protest 5 months ago:
Going onto a major subreddit like worldnews is just insane.
On the Palestinian genocide it’s just completely full of IDF posting pro-Israeli content. And all the comments are just propagandists agreeing with each other.
- Comment on Why do people always assume you're part of a group just because you're defending them? 5 months ago:
Historically the role of the police was to catch escaped slaves, and to violently break strikes when unionised workers were fighting for their rights.
Their foundation was white supremacist violence and violence against the working class in order to keep wage slaves creating profit for the ruling class.
And that function continues today. The role of the police is literally to use violence to protect the private property of the ruling class and serve their interests.
Are you a working class person who defends the people keeping you enslaved? Then yes, you’re a bootlicker.
