I am aware, and tagged me to keep me in thr comversation, so here i am.
And yea he owns twitter, im not not sure what you are suggesting we are powerless to stop? Like twitter from existing? Him from posting? What ia it in an ideal world you want to stop specifically? Seems as you pointed out most of that is stopped by just not using twitter or blocking him on twitter. It seems far from powerless, nor do we need to block everything he owns. Just dont engage in the part you dont want to, problem solved. You can block himnon twitter and never ha e to hear him while still.buying a tesla.
Ideologically pire governments do not and can not exists. All principles exist withi a network of nuanced ideas where some may be more dominante than others but jonone idea can or doea exist in isolation.
Juat as there is nonpurely capitalist coubtry there will never and can never be a ourely communist country.
Ao yea i agree, when we say communist what we mean is "communisn is a dominante, perhaps even central, ideology"
> Concentration of wealth has more to do with the autocratic mechanisms allowed to exist in government than it does the economic landscape of the society.
Right that was exactly my point, thank you.
What action do you specifically wish to stop that you feel we are powerless to stop?

@dielan I feel like this is what the PS5 should be... never going to waste money on the first gen ps system again, gotta wait for the pro next time.
@jonoleth Nope, I think I'd know what I said and thought. Never once did I think that.
No one said it was.
@jonoleth I could have just as easily picked a more modern country. Stalin was just a better documented example than say north korea.
@jonoleth You are right generally people rarely mean what they say. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt however and if you say your issue is with capitalism rather than the world in general i will believe that is what you meant.
Ita politics, everyone isnlyong all the time and people dont care about the truth in the least.
All people hear ia trumpns screaming about people eating cats. Trump soubding like a raving lunatic while harria just soubded like a politition.
The company I am CTO at is hiring for #NixOS experts. IF there are any out there looking for a job (100% remote doesnt matter where you are), let me know!
Yea half of what you said, the part i didnt comment on, i largely agree with though also find kt the least interesting part kf what to said.
Cool. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Coolmso you agree with what i said and it was never in question. Glad we can have an amicle conversation that wasnt remotely toxic then. Hope to see you around.
Its not about defending capitaliam, though i absokutely would defend free market teade. Ita about the absursity of thinking billionairs is a symptom.exclusive to capitalism whennit very obviously is not limited to capitalism.
