@Plasmogen5_2 Lügen kosten halt nichts, zumindet nicht jetzt.

@cR0w We should revisit all great movies and see if giving the lead actor diharrea makes them better. For science!

@VeroniqueB99 Need to build bridges...

@Alice You can do it. Don't give up, you can be the saussage that deposits the most visible smear of fat on someones clothes!

@cR0w Things that were made possible by diharrea...

@interfluidity Just waiting for a good reason to take up a torch and a pitchfork. But how can we adequately target the butt of who is actually responsible?

@Hyolobrika dude, you ok?

@condret I support fuckzilla. Say it loudly, say it proudly, FUCKZILLA!

@interfluidity Whoa thanks, this helped a lot to pass this evening. I hope the original author is not offended, i /am/ rather quarrelsome ^^

@interfluidity @henryfarrell "oops" to what was cited.

"go beyond neoliberalism" Hmm, tanks to extract energy, like in matrix?

"human beings are rational" It is amazing how often this or something like this is said, no matter how often it is proven wrong. It seems irrational that people do this, proving my point.

"Cost-benefit analysis, maximizing growth and only then redistributing benefits [...]" Well, to this chapter, i would like to point out that if the redistribution does not happen in a way that feels ok, people will be unhappy. As i have argued, they are not rational, so it is obvious that they will not attack the actual problem but what is to be seen easily. No surprises here, if one embraces that people are not naturally rational and level headed.

"In his third post, Matt depicts anti-neoliberalism as Bizarro World neoliberalism." I think here, we diverge a bit, since i see the problem in a fundamental misunderstanding of how humans work, while you actually try to take matt as rational. I theorize he behaves perfectly normal, as a human, and is accusing others of irrationality (which are, but not as he sees it) instead of analyzing the actual problem (the missing redistribution, which is only said but not done).

"they want to reconfigure both markets and government to better share political power and influence" Yeah, that would be bad. Can't have feudalism if you share political power. /s

There's some stuff about monopolies following, which i exclude from my answer - this is not about philosophy but just monopolies in action.

"The core project was enabling global markets to flourish by removing inefficient hindrances and regulations. Maximizing wealth was a core goal" If maximizing wealth was a core goal, either redistribution failed spectacularly or the goal was not reached. It kind of falls back on a previous point, since wealth did increase when you look at the numbers.

"Trade was doing perfectly nicely until it was corrupted by the loose ways of geopolitics" Perfectly supports the cited part, and i agree. It trades generating wealth for seeing what actually happens.

"Economic growth is something that you really do want to prioritize much of the time" Idk, if your goal is for people to live good lives, how much good will come off of this? Which part of progress will help, which will hurt? Not self-evident.

Not commenting on the US/China stuff, since i'm not an american tourister.

I really enjoyed your work, hope i didn't offend with my not-so-informed but opinionated approach. If you disagree, please do engage, i would love to discuss.

@Hyolobrika If it's general, why are you so worked up about this specific instance of a confirmation message? There are lots of "confirm you want to do something drastic" messages, i think it fits.
Take the perspective of a rather univolved user, they might not understand blocking a domain is heavy.

@twizzay No more feds, no more masto. Just flowers and stuff, as the kindergarten teachers say. I'm ok with that.

@twizzay Calling it "masto" reminds me of selfcare

@twizzay Well there are some alternate frontends. Sometimes not all that reliable, but i'd rather reload some page than ignore an ad.

@daswarkeinhuhn Ich hoffe der Genuss stellt sich ein :-)

@daswarkeinhuhn Bei mir scheiterts schon an den Hardwarevoraussetzungen. Ich sags dir, dieser Nacken 1.0 war nicht in spec für die geplante Spielzeit. Jetzt brauch ich noch den DLC "neues Kissen" damit "schlafen" wieder funktionsfähig ist.

Im Film "Postal" heißt es in einer Radiodurchsage des Präsidenten: "...mussten wir beide Länder mittels Nuklearwaffen vernichten, da sie immer noch Tshirts für weit unter einem Dollar herstellen"

Jetzt lese ich:
> Bei vollelektrischen Pkw liebäugeln laut der Umfrage sogar 80 Prozent der Befragten mit dem Kauf eines chinesischen Autos.

> Als Hauptgrund für den Kauf einer chinesischen Automarke gaben 83 Prozent der Befragten den günstigen Preis an

*grübel* Wer ausgemustert ist sollte vermutlich die entsprechenden Dokumente bereit halten.

@Lockdownyourlife "My pussy has sharp teeth" may attract some, but scares away others. I for one like unconventional anime...

@Plasmogen5_2 Hm, ein Problem dabei ist, dass durch solche Lügen ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen schon mal nicht mehr "Bürgergeld" heißen kann. Falls mal eine Partei mit ehrlichem "S" für sozial im Namen drankommt ist das verbrannt.

@Hyolobrika Is this a general message (confirm blocking domains) or a targeted thing? That would change how i see it completely.
