I get your point and share your worries, but I ended up concluding that I will regret more aiding the descent to fascism than being a casualty of it.

Think of all the people that survived Nazi Germany while being a collaborator and seeing all the horrors their cowardice helped occur.

I don’t think those people would have happy lives after that, I know I wouldn’t.

Furthermore, I believe that if I don’t act now when is somewhat safe, I will act latter down the line and would definitely get killed.

It’s your choice.

Communism Bad!!!

While I agree with most of what you said, I cannot disregard how a swift change in politics can be introduced to satisfy the wims of the billonaires. We have recent and astounding examples (USA). Sadly I don’t trust humanity anymore. I don’t have a choice but to try to live my life the best I can, but I won’t force anyone else into existence.

Have a good one you too my friend!

When you realise that we already produce (and throw away) enough food to feed the whole planet, then its evident that scarcity is fabricated.

You mention animals, I would’ve thought we are better than them… Or at least we should try.

You know what beings live by the rule of virtue? Animals.

I believe we should aim for more.

In some countries you are a disease away of financial bankruptcy. Good luck being able to 100% guarantee a living.

Furthermore, this is the first generation that is worse off than the previous one, and its a trend that seems will continue.

In the lucky event of being part of the select 3% that has financial security, no luxury can shield you from the pain the rest of the people is suffering.

Maybe I’m a pessimist, but introducing a child into this roulette is not the kindest if you think about it.

In the case of people so influential as Elon and Trump, no one should laugh when they propagate insidious fake news, as the impact such thing has in our society can not be underestimated. If you laugh about someone committing a crime, in my eyes you are also part of the problem.

Lemmy.world was affected too, how come? ಠ_ಠ

I can second this!

Money is the way people are payed for their labour in order to transact for goods and services.

When a government or central bank possesses the hability to expand the money supply, it can dilute the currency’s value. This process, known as inflation, systematically diminishes the purchasing power of an individual’s wages and savings.

However, the consequences extend beyond the erosion of personal wealth. Persistent inflation, even at a seemingly modest rate like 3% per year, creates a powerful incentive for perpetual economic growth. For a company to simply preserve its value against rising costs and a devaluing currency, it must generate returns that outpace the rate of inflation. This fosters an environment where businesses are pressured to expand continuously.

If we accept that money is the primary channel for economic energy and that productive employment is essential for a healthy society, this framework raises a critical question. A system that structurally requires constant growth for mere survival, rather than for meeting genuine demand, draws comparisons to pathological processes. Some would argue it resembles a cancer: a system whose logic of endless expansion can threaten the stability of the larger organism it inhabits.

Money should be a store of value and medium of exchange.

The issue with our current monetary system is it’s controlled by states.

The only way out of this failed experiment is a money that cannot be controlled by anyone.

While I agree, self hosting is not an option for the average person.

I believe big tech must be forced to work for the consumer interests somehow.

One way could be introducing decentralised alternatives, that present a solid competition.
