  Totally. The idea being that you’ll just take whatever bullshit in the meantime because you get to vote for the controlled opposition party every 4 years.

  Party of the rich vs party of the wealthy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI whistleblower’s deemed suicide⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I read somewhere that, in Russian culture, the more absurd the cover up story the more insulting it is meant to be for the victim.

  Like if someone “shot themselves 3 times in the back of the head then fell out of a window”. Maybe Epstein fits into that too

  One of lessons of the Bible (from what I gather anyway) is that all humans are corrupt-able and will err. Therefore, all organizations that wield any power at all are subject to human corruption. Indeed, this is how we think of organizations in a secular light.

  If you’re looking for the religious teachings or church organizations that are free from the sins they denounce, you won’t find them, because human beings cannot keep themselves from temptation indefinitely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the USA turned into an oligarchy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol this post made me appreciate Lemmy so much.

  There was a question on dead-it asking something about why the American middle class seemed to suffer so much since the mid20th century and it was full of obvious bots pointing to the positive but temporary effects of WW2. It took quite some scrolling before I saw any mention of the stagnation of real wages since then.

  I mean in terms of effect on population (which is kind of the point), the analogy still holds.
