That is illegal by the way. You should have a single button to reject all. You can report it to your data protection authority

They love this.

I’m a bit new to the fediverse and I came to lemmy.world because it’s one of the big ones and thought it would be “neutral”. But nothing quoted in this post seems dangerous or against the rules ? You don’t even explain what rules they are supposedly breaking ? It’s weird that the admins posted this thinking “people will understand”. All you are saying is “these people are from the left”, we don’t like them.

You should clearly states in your rules/description that you are a neoliberal instance and contradictory opinions will be squashed.

Never understood why we call them tech companies to be honest. There is nothing technologically interesting at twitter. And if there is… it is never the subject.

Ahah ! So you just change the definition of a word to make it fit your worldview. And yes wikipedia is not a great source but it usually cover the basic stuff. I gave you the link to get you started but I see you’re not interested in educating yourself about the subject.

I mean, again, you think capitalism mean limited state intervention. It does not. By definition.

I’ll let you in you own world with your own words and custom definitions !

Well… no. It never was. Even the USA is highly intrusive and protectionnist. Also, state capitalism ? In you other responses you talk about China like it’s not a capitalist country. China is the main example of state capitalism.

I think you are confusing capitalism with something else.

The wikipedia article is a good start if you are interested.

A socialist or communist society could be healthier. Not saying it automatically would be. The only people theorizing a sustainable economy are on the (far) left though.

And the last 50 years proved that sustainability is impossible in a capitalist system. It hinders profits, and the basis of capitalism is: always more profits.

Capitalism means always looking for more profits. Endless efforts of private owners to expand and increase their profits leads to the perpetual circle of suproduction and overconsumption which destroy ressources and ecosystems.

This particular system is the main reason it’s happening.

If we take into consideration the destruction of the ecosystems necessary to sustain human life, capitalism is a net-negative.

I am an avid diver, I love seas and stuff. Also, what is an ocean please ?

Business as usual. Climate crisis is everyone’s problem but me ! Everyone must make an effort, but not me !

It’s the triangle of inaction. Corporations, government and people blame the two others and use it as an excuse for inaction.

I can understand it in some cases, but meat consumption ? There is no excuse to not stop or at least reduce meat consumption. It’s easy to do, it’s cheaper, … And the impact of everyone not buying meat is insanely positive.

The “flat” argument made sense a while ago in my opinion. As someone who live in a very non-flat region, biking, especially “daily life” biking was not a good solution.

This argument is now dead with the rise of electric bikes.

Really depends where you live. In my town I also decide when I leave, and I don’t risk being late because I missed the train by one minute. I’ll just take the next one. More risk of being late because of car traffic.

The problem when people compare cars to public transport is that they compare the current state of public transport in their area. We need to compare what would happen if we were spending as much billions as we do on cars.

I was surpised when I tried the first time but no, they are not awkward to steer ! It drives like a normal bike. It also feels safer to see exactly where you are puting the box with your children in it.

This is a bicarrier though (one wheel at the front). Tricarriers (two wheels at the front) don’t drive like a bike AT ALL !

Yes we need to regulate industries. But you can regulate the meat industry all you want, as long as we consume that much meat it will be a problem.

The “Ok but companies…” people throw around every time we talk about personal responsability is only used to ignore that responsability. And I think meat consumption is the best example because everyone can stop eating meat. It’s cheaper and does not require any particular effort.

We need to stop pretending these companies exist in a void and are polluting for the sake of polluting. They are selling goods, we are buying them.

In my experience acting curious and asking questions is the best way to change someone’s opinion. Make them think about the subject and realize by themselves why they might be wrong.

It’s useful as tracking data
