This assumes that everyone is equally politically informed and engaged, and that everyone has given governance as much thought as one another.
The sad reality is a huge portion of people sleepwalk through life and they’d get by the same in a democracy vs. feudalism vs. socialism.
that’s liberals for ya
People forget that crashes are a debugging tool indicating an error. Silent errors can be much more dangerous. C and C++ in particular need to be careful not to overwrite random memory for example.
Yes the consequences for JS failures are less severe and so JS can get away with it, but a crash is a way to know your program isn’t doing what you thought it was, properly.
It just so happens that JS is used in contexts where nobody really cares, and errors aren’t a big deal, cheap and fast wins.
damn I wonder which white guy discovered those features in the Mongol population, crazy that they all missed them
I’ll acknowledge my comment was rude, you are expressing humility now that wasn’t present in your original assertive message. You hopefully have a better understanding now.
This misinformation about national debt that you unintentionally spread is used by conservatives around the world to deny people services
Some people when faced with an overly simple explanation doubt their own understanding and try to see why experts and academics say otherwise.
Others assume they know better than the experts and everyone is an idiot but them.
Maybe you know a lot about a topic, and see others choose one of those paths when questioning your area of expertise.
Which kind of person do you want to be?

One thing we overlook in ideological debates is that most forms of socialism and communism would have no use for advertising and marketing. Imagine all this effort going to productive endeavors and having an IRL adblock.
May my last online purchase be a beret.
While this is true, it’s not difficult to verify. You can inspect the network traffic through your router from that device and see whether it’s communicating more often or with larger data packets while you’re talking near but not to it.
That could be obfuscated with a powerful enough device that’s able to maintain the user profile locally and by sending the full profile each time, or by trickling the information out bit by bit as part of a regular heartbeat traffic, but that would require more expensive hardware and would eat up a lot more bandwidth.
Not impossible, but not undetectable either. I’m willing to bet that studies have been done.
Skepticism is good but without thinking through it, experimenting, or doing research to back it up it’s just paranoia. Conversely you could say my trust that others would have looked into it is naive.
Sorry I’ve been imprecise again, I meant the root comment that’s from Lung.
Fair enough, I’m not going to do a background check on every poster but I see that I was lumping your response in with the originator of the thread and could have given yours a more charitable interpretation.
It’s not for “asking a question”
We’re all used to these “centrist” / “just asking questions” types and how they only crawl out of their holes to play devil’s advocate for fascists, it’s tired.
Yes, my point is you can Thanos snap Trump and Putin out of existence today and if you make no other changes then fascism will still be here or will rise again soon.
Economic and political change is needed
Historically violence is very effective at political change, but there are many peaceful examples as well. Let’s hope this one can be peaceful but some violence at the start of fascism is better than lots of violence being required to unroot deeply ingrained fascism.
Hard to say where USA is today. I’m a little surprised at how quiet the military’s being as the constitution is being torn up and allies are being turned into enemies, I have to hope they’d turn down orders to invade former allies, at least.
Hopefully the quiet is a sign that there’s internal scheming.
This oversimplification is how the world will learn nothing from this. Putin didn’t compromise 47 million Americans into voting for fascism.
Major political and economic change is needed. How many times does fascism have to materialize exactly as leftists have predicted before people start reevaluating the economic system that creates Elon Musks.
how many iterations until you get a minute of video you’re happy with?
lol what a fucking stupid thing to say

In the off chance that domestic producers can make those goods at a price cheaper than overseas_cost+25% guess what they’ll charge? The same high price.
