In its very perverted logic, this assassination is good for capitalism. Every CEO can ask for a raise now.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 50 points 1 week ago

One of the strengths of capitalism is that it can profit both off stability and off turmoil. It literally cannot lose

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

That’s why I feel progress should be made by leveraging capitalism instead of nuking it.

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 15 points 1 week ago

It's already been tried with social democracies. They cannot last because capitalism is inherently rapacious by nature and tends to maximize the extraction of surplus value in the long run.

Seems to be working well in the Nordics. Or does that not fit the definition?

[-] Saurok@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

You have to ask "At whose expense?"

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Ok, I'll play.

At whose expense?

[-] Saurok@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Sorry, just saw this. The answer is at the expense of the global south. Those social democracies still have companies that profit off of the labor and resources of the global south.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Definitely. Is there anywhere that doesn't profit off the labor and resources of the global south though? Even in the global south? The few social democracies that exist, if you can even call them that, benefit in this way but also by taxing the rich and the corporations for the benefit of all their citizens.

You mean the same countries that have been having issues with managing the growing number of immigrants and the strain they put on the welfare system?

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah migration is going to become world war insanity. You think unfettered capitalism deals with migrants better? They're already ceding land to the federal government in Texas for ~~concentration camps~~ deportation centers.

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 3 points 1 week ago

You aren't talking to a stan for capitalism.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Good. What's your idea for a solution?

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 2 points 1 week ago

First of all, raising consciousness among the workers and making them aware of the jarring contradiction between what is laid out in texts such as the Constitution or even simple collective bargaining agreements and then pushing for a redistribution of wealth through really progressive taxation and the defunding of the police in favor of more inclusive ones.

But, you know, subverting a mode of production that is centuries old may take some time.

[-] Phoeniqz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Wait... are you talking about the Nordics ore just Sweden?

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

Mostly Quarto Oggiaro, sometimes Bovisa in the weekend.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

I absolutely agree

[-] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Capitalism tries to nuke itself that's why it's often heavily regulated. It's only positive is that it allows for rapid production. Which is also it's greatest drawback.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

What if it's impossible to leverage it without falling into a cyberpunk dystopia?

[-] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Oh boy I have a lemmy instance for you then

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

No, you don't. You love creating strange monsters and then quelling them to make your arts seem something, as Jonson brilliantly put it. I prefer thinking that things can be changed by the people who need change the most instead of hoping for utter sociopaths to discover an empathy they've never shown proof of.

[-] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Why do you think this means I don't have a lemmy instance for them? Also you sound like a bot

[-] Draegur@lemm.ee 28 points 1 week ago

Let's increase each one's pay by exactly three aerodynamic chunks of lead, to be deposited directly into their brainpans at supersonic speeds.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Subsonic, still very fast. The assassin used subsonic ammo because it isn't nearly as loud. This is important.

[-] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

He also was using a suppressor without a Nielsen device as they had to rack the slide after every shot. Telling me it wasn't a professional hit.

[-] Tamo240@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago

Can you explain what this is, so that I don't have to google it and end up on a list?

[-] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It uses gas pressure to allow the slide to reciprocate and load another bullet into the chamber. Most pistols with an attached suppressor need this because of how blow back tilting barrels work.

Much more importantly you should just get tor browser and use duckduckgo. This way you can search and you're not expressing interest on a federated board that can cache what you say indefinitely.

Lol "How will you attract talent?" thats always been the argument why do think their pay has increased so much while labor wage has stagnated.

[-] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yep, they should form a union and demand hazard pay on their CBAs.
