Sounds like some deliberately obscure concentrations of power.
The fear bit is really problematic though as scared people are not ideal decision makers.

There’s been investment bubbles, overshooting and disingenuous rent seeking in many economies before. It was temporarily reduced in many western economies by various FDR type policies in the '30s-'60s. The '70s and '80s were just the banks wresting back their freedom to implement market “rationality”. And we get the benefits ever since.
People do keep voting for it though so it is hard to argue they’re not satisfied. Even the ones who protest vote don’t seem to see the “investment” markets as any part of the problem; or as important at all. That’s either some pretty effective demagoguery, or some dumb fucking electorate.

Those kids are very bad people, at least one of them has links to the MS-13 gang.
And the others had shared sensitive pokemon information with that one. biggest threat to national security.

I read somewhere that they have some rule like you can’t put “not food” inside “food”.
Probably a reasonable rule in many cases. Maybe they should put a tiny hole in it and argue that the “shell” is mathematically a single plane with the ‘inside’ being between the inner and outer face.

Back in the time after 9:11 they (the red coloured torys) passed some draconian anti-terror laws in the UK (well at least in England and Wales, I’m not so sure about Scotland and Norniron), basically no habeas corpus if the word “terrorism” is involved.
They were exactly worried that judges might put on a ‘reasonable person’ wig, or do something even more damaging to the free world like ask to see some evidence.

I think Jewish people were effectively invited into that position across much of Europe, back when the Catholic church forbade usury but the people still wanted banks.
Unfortunately for many Jewish people , some of their number became a major driving force for capitalism.

After 1979 really, but more realistically the rot set in a bit earlier in the 70s when the banks were given the power to start cannibalising the economy and got away with blaming the damage on trade unions and OPEC.
Pretty similar timeline for US, i think more or less after JFK when they started destroying FDR legacy.

- Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars? 1 week ago:
Yes I think i tended towards the latter view because I just don’t see much real world action or organising going on here.
But some of the stuff posted does seem a bit sus - it’s almost a caricature. Even quite radical people usually have some ability to reason or engage in moderate discussion.
I guess it doesn’t cost law enforcement much to keep an eye on this, and I’m sure lots of the terms used will flag in their webcrawlers and such.
A few spooks and a few bots can probably do quite a lot across a lot of different social media so really not hard for them to have some presence here for minimal effort.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars? 1 week ago:
There’s a fair history of security services acting as agents provocateur infiltrating socialist and trade union movements to split them apart get evidence or ‘intel’ to imprison leaders. Certainly in the UK that was a part of their union busting tactics. So it is something to be aware of.
I’m not sure that is what is happening on here though. I’m also not sure if that’s what OP was referring to.

I don’t post actual threads, but my most downvoted comment was this one that I’m quite proud of:
Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.
Ubuntu is way better.
So yeah, I’d recommend OP baits linuxmemes. I think it has more users, more touchy, less sense of humour. But you’re also less likely to get your post banned in a memes forum.

It is probably just a video he’s making about how to self-host a 3GW nuclear power station, so that you can self-host a hundred million raspberry pi cluster.
- Comment on CO2 levels just broke another record. Here's what that means 4 weeks ago:
They really should learn how to run their vertical axis down to zero . I see no need to risk the accusation of using graphs with a lie factor. it’ll still look a dramatic increase starting a zero. They can even add a horizontal line at lowest recorded level if they want to emphasize that difference. They’re also open to a bit of criticism on the time-axis about the difference between lowest ‘directly recorded’, and other longer term estimates of the range of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
I think it is better to acknowledge those estimates and refer to the available evidence on how different the world was and what types of life and ecosystems seem to have been most common. Otherwise they can get "Well akshually it might be ‘uncharted’ but it’s probably not ‘unprecedented’ " . . . . https://paleo-co2.org/co2pip
Based on these estimates it seems plausible that early primates experienced atmospheric carbon dioxide levels higher than today. The important part is that they’d not have lived very similar lives to modern humans, maybe like small lemurs or something.

Here, have a downvote for your collection.
- Comment on is white light "white" because that's what our start emits? 5 weeks ago:
There are other better answers here already.
But you got me wondering, how red are red dwarfs really? Maybe they’re just like a few % more red than our sun, but I bet they’re still quite broad band.
So you maybe could have a similar range of colour reflection and absorption. And maybe there’s enough R,G,B to saturate the receptors. I assume white is just that, when all color receptors are near saturated.
The eyes might not need to differ much, the brain can probably do everything in post processing anyway. All evolution needs to do to your eyes is to gather enough raw data that your brain can learn to differentiate, food, water, danger, things to breed with, and so on.
Maybe reduce the sensitivity of red receptor a wee bit, or maybe not, if plants are still absorbing lots of red, and we live amongst plants . . .
