- Comment on If the 2028 election was held today, who would you vote for? 1 week ago:
The question did specify 2028, which would’ve excluded Finland, yet you deemed it necessary to grace us with your opinion about a 2030 election.
Rather, if you wanted to consistently pedantic, you should’ve replied with “Nobody, because Finland’s presidential election is in 2030”
If you’re going to be obtuse, atleast put some effort into it ;-)
- Comment on If someone tells you "you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism", what would you say? 1 week ago:
Sorta, depending on your exact definition.
More of a Lassalle flavour of socialism than Marx, at the very least.
Pragmatically, state-less communism is a utopia reliant on all members following its principles. A state is required to defend against greed, both from the outside as from within.
Wwhether you call it market socialism or social democracy, the concept of a state limits capitalism to serve its people first, while also granting as much freedom possible by “allowing” capitalism, seems to be the closest one can get to Marxism while still defending against tyranny.
Society is a living thing and must be able to both change and defend itself. Socialist states are prone to tyranny from within, where as pure communist utopia has little to no defense from foreign entities. A democratic government in service of the people is the best way I’m aware of to achieve the core socialist principles.

The US presidential elections are in 2028 … probably.
- Comment on If someone tells you "you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism", what would you say? 1 week ago:
Socialism is a form of government where the equality of people comes first.
The entire US anti-socialist kneejerk is because Marx said that socialism as a stepping stone to communism is the only non-violent way to get there
Socialist democracy allows for capitalism, as long as the government protects its people from the capitalist tendancy to turn into an oligarchy.
- Comment on How would you quickly describe Lemmy to a non-fediverse person? 3 months ago:
I’ld describe it more as “reddit, but without a single company owning all the login servers. Anyone (wirh money) can make their own server and make subs on there, even have their own rules, but you can still visit other servers all on one account, so nobody really has control over all the subs to make up stupid rules for them.”
It’s the dumbed down explanation, but it’s essentially the difference for non-nerds.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 6 months ago:
Not only that, you then link to that enthousiastic small board on the big one, as “unbiased source”
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 6 months ago:
I’ld like to vote Cryptonimics as term, because it encompasses both the cryptic nature of the product, and the clear example of cryptocurrency.

Trinny sounds like a cool name though
