The metrics for measuring our economic health haven’t been tied to the well being of the total population for a long time. The entire political system has been hiding behind wall-street growth for generations. Inflating that even with money magic. The moment we stepped off the gold standard we started playing a game of math and fantasy.
Our public education system.
There are a lot of reasons, most of them suck.
Short answer is he’s just the front man for a much larger demographic and he’s got a lot of financial systems held hostage because of almost 100 years of the US working to make the dollar the global currency. He’s everyone’s problem.
imo, If you didn’t start the conflict you aren’t required to do or say anything. Fuck the aggressors and anyone that defends them. It’s a pretty simple rule.
It’s not that complicated Ed. I got a pretty clear picture from an hour of research. Maybe if you get out of your algorithm for 20 minutes you might find something more tangible on the situation than a few chapters from a dusty religious text and the word of a bunch of rich assholes with vested interests in the region.
yeah, he was def playing a bit more like Jack than Patrick
You know, I’m just realising that maybe AdmiralPatrick might have a bit more in common with his name sake than I originally considered. It doesn’t make what he did okay. -Like the augments trying to give classified war plans to the enemy- but it does reframe it a little bit. pure speculation on my part but curious. Tenforward was my fav too but I’m settling into this account before I start making another alt.
I have my own opinions worth posting. Discussions and defenses of modern trek as well as an opinion on the writing that is more than just ‘they went woke’
I saw that one, but the posts are from 6 months ago.
What is the suggested star trek community to use?
Punishing the victims? really?
oh no! If I’m shadow banned from the trek communities I might actually be upset. I need my trek memes!
If he wanted to be a mod, then he should have done mod shit. You can’t make a neutral product as a developer and then code it like a mod. The fact that he doesn’t see the problem is the problem.
I don’t care that he made a ban list. I don’t care that I’m on it. I care that he sold a window into the community for others without telling the people using that window that he erased huge chunks of the community at large. Regardless of his opinions, that is what he did.
To do what? Gentrify Lemmy? You can’t come into Tortuga and try to sell it as a resort by putting a tarp over the pirates mate.
At least it’s a little harder everywhere else because most people haven’t devolved into a political system of only A and B. That shouldn’t make people elsewhere feel safer. It just means you have more time.
I used to think the EU was pretty solid but I’ve been seeing the ratcheting effect over there in recent years. With one or two bad actors completely stalling out protections. They better watch out.
