Is yours one? I saw other people suggest Lemmy.zip, mander I think is one, and lemdr.oid or something like that.
The problem is that they tend to be smaller, which means harder to find.

The US did a genocide on the Native Americans, even after being a democracy.
This suuuucks. We need another big, general instance that doesn't defed everyone. But I get it, being an admin sounds like a lot of work or I would do it lol. Plus I don't have place for a server around here. Or do most admins just buy space from the cloud?
Reminds me of that great joke -
A KGB agent and CIA agent meet up in a bar.
"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.
"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."
Over analysis caveat of the joke
Of course it's not state media directly in the states, but the same billionaires who own the state own the media, so it turns out all to be the same thing in the end.
Holy shit actual media criticism and analysis on North Korea. Never thought I'd see this day.
The little clip with the meta-commentary on news stories commenting about them was hilarious yet insightful, so I definitely have to watch the full documentary they're referencing (EDIT: especially if it's just the 20 minute video you linked. That's the full video? I thought I heard the word documentary so thought it would be longer).
Just saw Sinners and loved it! Anyone know a good way to search old movie specific discussion threads so I can see what other people on Lemmy had to say about it?
Thats what you take away from this? Have some empathy for the people being murdered by your tax dollars, including by your last President, you little Nazi supporting freak.
If anything, Kamala threw your future away because she would support these horrible child-killing maniacs than defeat Trump.
Ah see, there's the problem. I don't think it's like Newton's Theory of Gravitation. The rate of profit to fall isn't some ironclad law that's applicable in all cases 100% of the time. Cowbee already conceded various ways it could not be true (lack of competition such as through monopoly, exploitation of workers, globalization and imperialism, cartels, trusts, etc).
It seems to describe the natural tendency of a system-wide phenomenon (assuming increasing automation and existing competition in capitalism but nothing really else), so you'd have to consider a macro view of the entire system over a long period of time for it to work. It's like how you can't say one section of the world has been getting colder or staying the same for a couple years and thus climate change has been debunked, as you not only need to look at the whole planet but then the next couple decades as well.
So the next company has a brief increase in rate of profit, but then taking a more extended look at the system, everyone will probably switch suppliers to the cheaper wood and someone is going to lower their prices, forcing everyone else to (barring one of the scenarios above).
You can probably counter climate change temporarily, too. For example, dumping increasingly larger ice cubes in the ocean every year.
But ya, the analogy isn't completely one to one, it was just another good example of a a high level system-wide tendency that must be examined over a whole system and over a longer period of time that I thought most people reading would be familiar with.
I heard it's supposed to be super stealthy and really smart, so I guess they didn't expect to even have to do that lol. Otherwise, we could spend less money and use the older less stealthy and technologically advanced jets.
I think that's Richard Wolff's whole thing. I think he's communist? At least socialist.

Hey Lemmy,
What are your favorite horror movies from Blumhouse?
I went to Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights this year and they had the whole tram Blumhouse themed. I liked to watch horror movies during this spooky season, so i think catching up on some of these ones seems like a good place to start this year.
