That’s pretty big recourse though.

Wait till you see Trump in action. Biden will look like the most progressive president ever.

Yeah it would be very dumb not to capitalize on the success of the Switch.

They can add better upscaling at a minimum.

There’s such a thing as left wing authoritarianism too.

I’ve been most of these, but mostly chaotic good.

Lemmy needs these.

You get what you pay for. Pretty much every Zwave device I’ve tried has worked as advertised and even had a surprising amount of extra useful features I had never considered.

In a way…

Fuck that, I have no solidarity with .ml after all the shit I’ve seen there.

The wake up alarms are buggy garbage. I only use the ones in the clock app and just make them recurring every day. Those ones can be trusted.

If you can’t see it with your own two eyes, I don’t think any explaining on my part will help. Obviously all countries pollute, but some more than others.

Now show us per capita

Get a tea infuser. Loose tea tends to be 100x better quality anyway.

This is the problem with the term socialism. It’s very often applied to social democracy, so it’s not an exact term any more. For what you are discussing (seizing the means of production, central distribution of resources and jobs), I prefer the term communism.

But none of that matters much. What matters is that the Scandinavian model of social democracy has been far more successful where applied than communism ever was. Communism has only ever been fully implemented on the back of brutal authoritarianism, and that’s because it’s in fundamental conflict with human nature.

And as much as I would love for human nature and social dynamics of large groups to be different, we have to deal with the animal we have rather than the one we want.

In that case why do we have so many good examples of regulation in capitalist systems, the most effective being the “Scandinavian model” countries which effectively blended large amounts of socialism into a capitalist system and enjoy the best health and happiness rates in the world?

Indeed there is no such thing as an unregulated capitalist economy anywhere in the world. They all have staggering amounts of regulation.

I agree on your points as well. We are so limited by human nature and lack of consensus that I don’t think we can escape these problems without something extreme like genetically modifying the whole population of the world.

It’s been very nice discussing politics with you. Such civil political conversations are rare and noteworthy.

In that sense you are probably right, but I would say he has more power to make bad decisions that can still seriously fuck shit up abroad than any president from those decades too.

You should totally burn the White House. Reminder time.

How is it more limited when his party also controls the house, senate, and Supreme Court?
