I accidentally subscribed to one and it was filled with tankies acting like they were the true and righteous moral bastions of society while espousing blatantly ableist ideas and pure wishful thinking rewrites of history. I left and blocked that community.
Dark City (1998) could definitely fit the bill, it has so many unique ideas for that time in film and you can see there’s of all sorts of future sci-fi movies in it from the matrix to inception, it’s a very visually ugly movie and the acting is subpar but as a premise it’s super interesting. Generally I think remakes are a waste of time and money but I’d love to see this movie with a proper budget and modern technology
I’ve always assumed communism works really well the smaller the group but at the scale of hundreds of millions it becomes very difficult logistically and also of course all those people need to agree with it so they’re not actively trying to sabotage it. I don’t see any danger in smaller nations being communist and never understood why people do consider it dangerous, outside of the obvious capitalist reasons and of course the dictators who used it as a front
Unless the example is similar in size and scope to the country I live in I struggle to find true relevance in the subject of communism as a national government
There was one here recently I think?? Maybe it was Reddit but I recently got a total ban so I can’t check lol but I the person I responded to also said they were like 6 feet tall on top of having itty bitty feet and showed a photo of feet in shoes only so I told them I didn’t believe them. This is a more common lie than I expected lol
Ok what even is “the fediverse” and why is it called that?
I’m here to waste time, like I’d imagine most of us are
Also play settlers of catam
Yeah people take the name literally and it doesn’t turn out well. I find using it to replace noddies in a heavy noodles casserole actually works, cause it’s baked and soaks in the flavor for a long time and you can make them extra saucy to make up for it too. There’s good recipes for it, but as a literal substitute for spaghetti noodles in sauce plopped on top spaghetti? That’s not a good recipe
I generally agree with most of what you said, I’m not super familiar with anarcho-syndicalism But I am trying to have a genuine conversation
So reading this I’m like yes, yes, ok, love it
Then you say “furthermore most social ills that exist today…”
I immediately thought, ok but the practical ills that exist today? Is anarchno-syndicatism also against or at least neutral I suppose, world trade? I ask because I had a bilateral lung transplant, and when I consider the level of social support beyond just financial but also that too and access to medical services, this means supplies, well educated doctors, nurses and surgeons, facilities capable of a bilateral lung transplant, medications which are manufactured all over the world, the need is very high, it feels like this particular perspective would leave a person like me high and dry? At what point do we make the call that community support is enough and how do we define community? Those are all very critical questions for someone like me, and many other disabled people. I guess I wonder, although I agreed a lot with your comment is arachno-syndicatism abelist? Could this ideology ever result in successfully running a world class hospital?
This is such a rigid and literal way of thinking. This mentality explicitly idealizes and romanticizes black and white thinking. Life has shades of gray, no matter how much you wish it was as simple as literal Good versus Evil
That’s just people who know how to cook, beginners want to follow recipes to a T and almost always come up with sub par results to someone who knows how to cook because they already incorporate what you’ve mentioned. This is just “make sure people cooking know how to cook” lol
