Lemmy.world Hexbear Statement
  • I'm a bit new to the fediverse and I came to lemmy.world because it's one of the big ones and thought it would be "neutral". But nothing quoted in this post seems dangerous or against the rules ? You don't even explain what rules they are supposedly breaking ? It's weird that the admins posted this thinking "people will understand". All you are saying is "these people are from the left", we don't like them.

    You should clearly states in your rules/description that you are a neoliberal instance and contradictory opinions will be squashed.

  • Capitalism is nothing but a giant pyramid scheme.
  • Ahah ! So you just change the definition of a word to make it fit your worldview. And yes wikipedia is not a great source but it usually cover the basic stuff. I gave you the link to get you started but I see you're not interested in educating yourself about the subject.

    I mean, again, you think capitalism mean limited state intervention. It does not. By definition.

    I'll let you in you own world with your own words and custom definitions !

  • Capitalism is nothing but a giant pyramid scheme.
  • Well... no. It never was. Even the USA is highly intrusive and protectionnist. Also, state capitalism ? In you other responses you talk about China like it's not a capitalist country. China is the main example of state capitalism.

    I think you are confusing capitalism with something else.

    The wikipedia article is a good start if you are interested.

  • Capitalism is nothing but a giant pyramid scheme.
  • A socialist or communist society could be healthier. Not saying it automatically would be. The only people theorizing a sustainable economy are on the (far) left though.

    And the last 50 years proved that sustainability is impossible in a capitalist system. It hinders profits, and the basis of capitalism is: always more profits.

  • Capitalism is nothing but a giant pyramid scheme.
  • Capitalism means always looking for more profits. Endless efforts of private owners to expand and increase their profits leads to the perpetual circle of suproduction and overconsumption which destroy ressources and ecosystems.

    This particular system is the main reason it's happening.

  • Vegan diet massively cuts environmental damage, study shows
  • Business as usual. Climate crisis is everyone's problem but me ! Everyone must make an effort, but not me !

    It's the triangle of inaction. Corporations, government and people blame the two others and use it as an excuse for inaction.

    I can understand it in some cases, but meat consumption ? There is no excuse to not stop or at least reduce meat consumption. It's easy to do, it's cheaper, ... And the impact of everyone not buying meat is insanely positive.

  • The "flat" argument made sense a while ago in my opinion. As someone who live in a very non-flat region, biking, especially "daily life" biking was not a good solution.

    This argument is now dead with the rise of electric bikes.

  • [meme] Trains are 100000x easier to electrify and automate than cars, so why does everyone keep talking about electric and driverless cars?
  • Really depends where you live. In my town I also decide when I leave, and I don't risk being late because I missed the train by one minute. I'll just take the next one. More risk of being late because of car traffic.

    The problem when people compare cars to public transport is that they compare the current state of public transport in their area. We need to compare what would happen if we were spending as much billions as we do on cars.

  • [image] My hometown has some nice rentable cargo bikes
  • I was surpised when I tried the first time but no, they are not awkward to steer ! It drives like a normal bike. It also feels safer to see exactly where you are puting the box with your children in it.

    This is a bicarrier though (one wheel at the front). Tricarriers (two wheels at the front) don't drive like a bike AT ALL !

    How to argue reasonably
  • In my experience acting curious and asking questions is the best way to change someone's opinion. Make them think about the subject and realize by themselves why they might be wrong.
