  • Graeber's The Dawn of Everything shows you are wrong. Capitalism isn't natural and communism is "naturally" occurring.

    People of Lemmy, I dare you to name ONE billionaire that's done anything good.
  • It is easy to think that, but it was mostly his father who controlled the wealth. Osama himself had dozens of siblings:

    Bin Laden was one of more than 50 children of Muhammad bin Laden, a self-made billionaire who, after immigrating to Saudi Arabia from Yemen as a labourer, rose to direct major construction projects for the Saudi royal family.

    People of Lemmy, I dare you to name ONE billionaire that's done anything good.
  • Agha Khan Development Network

    The Aga Khan operates a large horse racing and breeding operation at his estate Aiglemont, in the town of Gouvieux in the Picardy region of France – about 4 kilometres (2+1⁄2 miles) west of the Chantilly Racecourse. In 1977, he paid £1.3 million for the bloodstock owned by Anna Dupré and in 1978, £4.7 million for the bloodstock of Marcel Boussac.[82]

    The Aga Khan is an ardent yachtsman. He co-founded the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Porto Cervo, Sardinia in 1967. He also commissioned a 164-foot yacht, Alamshar, named after a prized racehorse of his, with a price tag of £200 million. The cost and maintenance are partly covered by chartering. The yacht was advertised as having a top speed of 60 knots, capable of setting a new transatlantic speed record.[citation needed] It reached a speed in excess of 55 knots in its initial trials but despite the claims, it was never intended for transatlantic speed records as it does not have the range.

    Forbes describes the Aga Khan as one of the world's fifteen richest royals, and the most recent estimate of his net worth is $13.3 billion.[13] He is unique among the richest royals in that he does not preside over a geographic territory.[14] He owns hundreds of racehorses, valuable stud farms, an exclusive yacht club on Sardinia,[60] Bell Island in the Bahamas,[61] two Bombardier jets, a £100 million high speed yacht Alamshar, and several estates around the world

    In the 1990s, the Aga Khan had a group of US$400 a night Italian luxury hotels, called Ciga. Currently the Aga Khan, through his for-profit AKFED, is the largest shareholder in the Serena Hotels chain.[64] The Aga Khan's racing horse businesses bring in considerable income.[65] He owns and operates the largest horse racing and breeding operation in France, the French horse auction house, Arqana, Gilltown Stud near Kilcullen in Ireland, and other breeding/stud farms in Europe

    He married a Thyssen, yes as in Thyssen Krupp a Nazi collaborating company focused on the war goals and used plenty of forced labour. Honestly I doubt that even what is financed via 10% of much poorer people's income than his that is done via the AKDN means he is a good guy.

    AKFED is part of AKDN. He literally uses poor peoples money to build hotel chains for the rich and ultra rich and also is more interested in his own vanity and consumption than the people.

  • In the early 2000s and before it without the social media as it is now you were very disconnected. This means that perpetrators could easily hide and you couldn't contact other victims. Also feminism wasn't as integrated into society as it is now.

    Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?
  • I went into the thread. You defended Nazis and argued that it makes sense that the FRG (west Germany) had so many Nazis in control of the government, police, judicative, and companies. While there were alternatives (believe me as someone living in Germany and having informed myself about that I know it). You also moved your goal posts and tried to diminish influences of other states i.e. the US (which you nationalist rise above others). All in all you would be okay in the instance, but get back lash when you kept up the way to jump from one to the other.

    That you try to ignore those actions and the responses to your comments fits that lemmy users arguing against hexbear are deflecting heavily from their own responsibility and their own actions.

    Your points in regards to both Russia&Ukraine are also not true (else you would directly link to it, and then there is no consensus in the hexbear userbase neither) and liking the CFR article is also not showing anything about hexbear (who - if you do search for it - are actually linking the UN report as well as the Chinese answer in regards to the Uigurs in their threads and comments about it).

  • It is more like a meeting of conservative people who try to ban queer events from an event location and have queer people come in and not let homophobe and transphobe rhetoric go on unopposed.

  • I don't say people trying to associate Hexbear and 4chan are fed posters, but I say that if I were a fedposting I would certainly try to make that association popular.

    What are your programming hot takes?
  • I can't see ML doing anything complicated in 3D like a CAD automobile any time soon.

    Paintjobs and their QM by car manufacturers are often ML optimized nowadays.

    Hey, we should all really stop using racist slang to refer to customozation
  • Your comment does not belong in this subreddit. It does not add to the topic, if you think comments don't fit in the community do report them and move on.

    Edit You also are quite a new user to the lemmy-verse from this month (compared to multiple year old users posting to you), which mostly is reducing the quality on communities on one hand and also got quite a few comments deleted. I urge you to read up on nettiquette and change your attitude if you want to be a positive contributing influence to this community.

    When Nazis get banned from a Lemmy instance for being Nazis, what card do they always play?
  • Holy fuck have you got more info / sources for that? Really would like to show the surveillance to a FOSS buddy that acts as if free speech and freedom from surveillance is important to them, but did defend the de federation.

  • Thanks to the community (and mods)

    I would just like to say that I do enjoy the community this site did create. Of course there are areas I disagree with and would've a stern face, but I think the base line antifascism is quite good and established, as is the removal of clear cut reactionary content.

    This is the opposite of what happens in a leftist German social media site currently in which self declared Anti-Leftists are allowed to post and are allowed to attend several events.
