honestly looking at the guides for un-fucking windows 11 i think we’re at the point where the stereotypes need to be reversed. linux is now the less tedious option for people who don’t want to have to deal with a bunch of computer bullshit
“It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism”
Capitalism can’t help but rush towards efficiency. If your product required 20 employees to produce, and mine only requires 1, mine will be cheaper. I have to automate, even if I know it destroys capitalism in the long term.
In the short term, 19 people lose jobs and struggle in a capitalist system where jobs are important.
But, after some fairly small percent of workers literally cannot work, what happens?
Capitalism Ends.
We’ll need a new system where workers aren’t the primary factor. Even with 25% unemployment, we can’t let 25% of people who need jobs, and are looking for work, just starve.
8 Billion people aren’t just going to die of starvation because 300 ‘own’ everything.
We’ve had those revolutions before. We’ll have them again. We may not even need a violent revolution. It may be more like royal families in countries where they simply realized they didn’t want to end up like the French.
as humans developed, deaths via predators or being trampled by hippos became less prominent. In order to replace this necessity of the human life, we created the Motor Vehicle
When I was in high school we did an english unit on Octavia Butler and the teacher told us hey btw. You should call her “Butler” in your essays. Sometimes students call female writers by their first names unconsciously, but that’s not acceptable. If you wouldnt call them William or Ernest you shouldn’t call her Octavia.
And I was like cool whatever I was gonna call her Butler anyways. But that moment has stuck with me for my whole life because once you start seeing ppl calling women by their first names where men would be called by their last names you literally never stop seeing it.
