Intelligence is hard to define and categorize, there are different aspects of what humans commonly call “intelligence” that vary wildly from individual to individual.

Lemmy.ml is more broadly federated than Lemmy.world, what are you talking about?

I asked you clarification on an absurd claim, and you called me dumb and claimed I’m sealioning. Why make the claim in the first place?

So you just make.claims and can’t justify or prove them? Strange.

It doesn’t seem pretty clear at all, can you explain that?

Social Programs within a Capitalist framework are concessions. In the European Countries, these social programs have been eroding over time, because the Workers do not have control. Moreover, the European Countries (and US, of course) rely on Imperialism, ie hyper-exploiting the Global South by exporting Capital and intentionally engaging in unequal exchange. These are parasitic countries that do not fund their safety nets inwardly, but externally, they only work like a leech works to produce food for itself, by taking from others.

What do you mean “half of Hexbear is spambot farms?”

Mega liberal, ie a radical supporter of Capitalism.

Markets, not Capitalism, can be useful at lower stages of development. However, over time, they become more and more exploitative and inefficient, transforming into Imperialism across international lines. Public Ownership and Central Planning becomes more efficient with respect to the level of development of market industries.

What do you mean “socialist country thay works,” in a manner opposed to Communism? Are you calling the Nordic Countries “socialist,” despite reliance on hyper-exploitation of the global south and sliding worker protections, as a means to discredit AES countries?

Social programs are not “socialism,” nor are markets “capitalism.” What determines the nature of an economy is what is dominant, the will of Capital or the will of the People. That’s why Social Democracies are sliding into austerity, because the Workers never actually siezed control Capital still dominates the system and disparity rises as a consequence.

It’s been pretty common among the Left.

They usually have lemmy.world handles. Not saying you are, but the admins and many of the mods of .world are said turbolibs and shaped their instance around it

The Bourgeoisie was the “middle class” when the aristocracy were the upper class. The majority of the world is under Bourgeois rule, not aristocratic rule, any longer, ergo the Bourgeoisie is the upper class.

Bourgeoisie does not simply mean “middle class,” it refers to a class of Capitalists. You don’t adjust what the word means, but its context.

What do you mean?

No problem!

Great! Parenti has such a witty way of writing, and does a fantastic job contextualizing and humanizing the people of the Global South and AES states. Glad to hear I’ve helped guide you towards his books!

Side note - I really like the mini-genre of Parenti Lofi, his speeches are great and his passion combined with more chill vibes is a good combo, like sweet and salty!

Left Reddit because of the API stuff. Still on Lemmy because it’s not as addictive and has a much higher concentration of leftists.

What do you mean “they think they are the true Lemmy users?” Most on Hexbear only browse the local feed. Secondly, which struggle session got rid of the “reasonable people?” Are you referring to the time they kicked out all of the transphobes, and now have one of the largest concentrations of trans individuals on Lemmy? Genuinely, what “reasonable” opinion has been discarded?

Lemmy.ml and Lemm.ee are both more broadly federated than Lemmy.world if you want to combat the US bias of .world.
