Madoka magica. Starts like the average random magical girl anime until episode 3 than suddenly deconstructs everything giving you an amazing whiplash. I had to beg a friend of mine to watch until ep3 because he absolutely could not stomach the first episode. He thanked me later

Well, ok I’m afraid I’m really out of my depth here. It seems to read like the universe is expanding due to an unknown force acting on the 4th dimension (like the air coming in the balloon), but I can’t imagine what that would be. I always understood that the universe expansion is simply leftover momentum from the big bang

The doublespeak is strong with this one.

I don’t know much about astrophysics, but it seems to me the analogy breaks down. Unlike a balloon, the universe does not move on a medium, so the only way to surmise it’s size is by its edges (i.e. the objects at its farthest edges). So the important thing here is how fast those edges move (the dots, on the balloon) which can never be higher than the speed of light. What am I missing?

That’s what I meant. Since matter isn’t moving at the speed of light, if we assume the universe expansion is due to the movement of its edge objects, then it cannot expand faster than 2c. If the expansion is happening for a different unrelated reason than the edge objects ofc that’s something else

Since nothing can move faster than the speed of light doesn’t it also mean that the universe cannot be expanding faster than 2c either?

I tried watching both demon slayer and solo leveling due to their popularity but bounced off after 1 season.

Let’s be real, there’s no way the collapse of pax Americana was going to take centuries

Hah, well yes, but not relevant to this meme. My comment applies equally to liberal and state capitalist politics tbh :D

No but you see, the people who do not have the capacity to decide for themselves, somehow have the capacity to select one person among them who has the monopoly of violence to decide for all of them. Clearly this is completely logical.

cool story, bro.

How dare you call my shitposting comm, a drama comm!

The role of the capitalist state has always been to protect the rich first, and then itself. Supporting the community is only done insofar as doing it would support the first two objectives (for example by preventing people from rising up against the rich)

Sure buddy, I’m totally crashing out right now…

Ye ok mate, keep deluding yourself that the civilians had no agency whatsoever. Classic ML cope every time another state capitalist dystopia (aka “AES”) collapses in on itself into yet another liberal democracy.

Also note I never said it’s fine. I just said that these rights are not unique to state capitalism (clearly), and that relying on a police state to maintain them means you lose them when the police state inevitably is torn down

Let’s see how many more uncharitable hexbears we’ll get now that this was cross-posted to slop.

This isn’t how it works. Not every fascist is the same. This in fact why there’s constant infighting between the fash.

Hah, lemmy.world would never choose to join the faf. In any case we only accept anarchist instances as we are supposed to share rules

What’s your point?

The guys at the top share class interests. That’s what unites them, not ideology. The ones at the top just say whatever needs to be said (whatever will benefit the plutocracy) to get to the top. But they’re not united at all. As soon as cracks appear, they turn on each other. I just don’t see this unity the OP is talking about. The problem is not that “evil is united”. The problem is that it’s too easy to propagandize vast amounts of the population when one controls the narrative through wealth and centralized media.

That’s what the FAF is for. We have multiple instances with the same admins, rules, defederations etc to hedge against rogue sysadmins.
