I’m impressed by how accurate this is

And Xi pays Kim, virtuous cycle of influence

Too bad lemmy’s search function is broken we had a lot of discussion about it in the past

The .J is for Josef Stalin

J’ai manqué de nuance, c’est vrai que cet amalgame existe, mais déjà il existe surtout chez les crypto-droitistes comme Soral, et tout ça n’empêche pas que

les résultats du baromètre tendent à montrer que les opinions antisémites restent largement structurées par les vieux stéréotypes parmi l’ensemble des sondés

Ça veut bien dire ce que ça veut dire, l’idée que désormais c’est la gauche les vrais antisémites alors que le RN est désormais clean c’est ahurissant

Après j’avoue j’y vais fort quand j’accuse le journal d’être complaisant avec cette idée, je comprends qu’on ne partage pas ce sentiment

Malgré l’émergence d’un « nouvel antisémitisme » chez les musulmans et une partie de l’extrême gauche « qui s’appuierait sur un antisionisme amalgamant et diabolisant “juifs”, “Israéliens” et “sionistes” », les résultats du baromètre tendent à montrer que les opinions antisémites restent largement structurées par les vieux stéréotypes parmi l’ensemble des sondés.

Traduction : mon opinion sur une question est contredite par les faits que je cite mais bon je vais quand même le formuler d’une manière tordue parce que c’est très important que les gens pensent que la gauche est antisémite quand l’extrême droite est aux portes du pouvoir

I’m not completely sure I understand your reasoning, but there’s something I was thinking to myself about Einstein and dialectics.

The Newtownian theory was formed at an age where the newest advancements in philosophy and science were made by seeing the world in mechanical interactions and abstract absolute rules. It was opposed to theological thinking so it allowed for massive progress.

Contemporary philosophy goes beyond the enthusiasm of the first modern scientists, and one of the manifestations of this tendency are Hegelian dialectics. Given the socialist orientation of Einstein, it wouldn’t surprise me that dialectics were a way of thinking that helped him go beyond the previously established necessity of having bodies touch each other to interact. Einstein surprised its time, not by being a man-computer that solves every equation, but by daring to bend concepts like space and time in a manner that shatters the old vision of a world made of simple little gears that activate each other by physical contact.

Yeah honestly it’s pretty good : not too condescending, decent advice, not completely obvious

As far as campaigns for kids go this is A tier

Very close to realising that the UK Labor is a bad faith party with zero willingness to do what they promise

If you’re into dirty stuff there’s a small scene of left wing black metal called “rabm”

I recommend Wolves in the Throne Room and Yellow Eyes (not political but spoke out against fascists) some small more Marxist bands are Clarion Knell and Sankara

Because evil 👿

My deep rooted masculine insecurities make me want to take the manliest option

Sounds fun tbh

What do you mean, Ethereum is pos.

I guess I wasn’t up to date. That’s cool actually!

There are so many more, especially “boring” ones

Interesting! I will do more research then.

I thought the same as you about the exciting technological fundamentals before realising that it was unfortunately also very overblown.

Basically Blockchain technology is a solution in search of a problem. It was invented by someone who was convinced that decentralised currency would realise the ancap utopia. In order make it mainstream, people have been trying very hard to find better use cases and it turns out that you always end up concluding that the centralised approach is always better.

Proof of stake could make the thing not too environmentally damaging but it’s been years that major blockchains are saying they will implement it the next year. And again, the use cases would remain weak in the end

There are other cryptographic mechanisms at play, which are amazingly interesting but it is not going to revolutionise the internet since it’s already being used everywhere (for example asymmetrical keys).

Wow that’s awesome thank you for the transcript! Since it is very long I suggest that you put it in spoiler mode so it is easier for users to scroll the comment section

I don’t understand bagels actually. Why put a whole in a sandwich?? It’s just worse ergonomics than a regular sandwich! I’m sure it’s some capitalist shenanigans to trick people into thinking it’s cool and containing more food than it actually does

Damn I smoked a bunch of times and I never got anything remotely like that. It was neutral. But maybe it’s because I always had drunk before? Or maybe it was bad weed
