Omniraptor@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•Russia has 'right to war' with 'each and every' NATO country - MedvedevEnglish1·2 years agoI just don’t understand why the americans can’t decide their stance while sitting on these wonderful advanced weapons. Either give Ukraine enough equipment to win or tell them to get lost and give up territory in exchange for peace. One risks escalation with Russia or if things go too well collapse of russia, the other risks discrediting the rules based international order (lmao).
But the status quo with delayed/half assed aid shipments is costing thousands of Ukrainian (and Russian, but who cares lol) soldiers’ lives for pretty dam questionable outcomes.

Omniraptor@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•Trump's competitor promises to give part of Ukraine to Russia and block Kyiv's accession to NATO16·2 years agoMy issue with that theory is if it’s true, why didn’t Putin invade while Trump was in power? I think Putin rightly considers Trump a loose cannon who may well have escalated in response. While Biden is predictably afraid of escalation and has been eager to pump the brakes on military aid whenever possible, against congress’s wishes.

Omniraptor@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's some really unpopular opinion you have?7·2 years agoIt’s like that for many vices such as alcohol- it’s harmful but banning it is much worse than regulating it (see the history of 1920s America). I’m not convinced porn consumption is harmful but even if it was, it shouldn’t be banned.
Omniraptor@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's some really unpopular opinion you have?3·2 years agoI love the culture books too but c’mon man.
First, how do you imagine transferring power to an AI overlord would sit with the people who currently have all the proverbial guns in our current society. That’s the problem we need to solve first.
Second, who in our society would you trust to build an AI up to the task of single handedly managing world affairs? How would you even test something so superhuman? Not to mention that we’re not close to superhuman, we’re already pushing the limits of our tech building a chatbot that can’t stay coherent for more than a couple paragraphs. The tech just isn’t there yet and not within orders of magnitude.
Omniraptor@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's some really unpopular opinion you have?6·2 years agoI would say a good argument for communism is the worsening side effects of capitalism. These problems simply cannot be fixed in a capitalist framework because they require global cooperation and capitalism is based on competition. Problems like over exploitation of natural resources (overfishing, carbon emissions) and the failure of the market to adequately provide services for which there is a fixed level of demand (housing, education, healthcare. The scale of college and medical debt is getting ridiculous). Many other problems like these.
The solution is more democracy and yes common ownership of the means of production. People are just allergic to the specific term of class struggle. but it doesn’t change the meaning - the ownership/ruling class benefits from the status quo even as everything gets worse. They will not give up control without a fight, and as you said they will use every tool, from propaganda and legislation up to direct violence to maintain that control.
No they definitely had plans to leave some untermenschen alive as slaves. I wouldn’t call that maximizing equality
