The truly unpopular opinion is the one you’re pretending is popular, people aren’t advocating for immediate replacement without building up green energy and replacing it entirely.

Yep, Marx predicted this actually. A huge portion of Marx’s literature is even more relevant today than ever before.

The best product should not be what’s most popular in Capitalism, what’s profitable to produce is what’s most profitable. With tons of competition, you just have competing levels of automation, corner cutting, and exploitation.

Competition and markets in general are the cause of enshittification.

Competition doesn’t lead to innovation in improving people’s lives, but company profits. See: enshittification.

As much as I can without harming those who depend on me.

Depends on the country, honestly. In America, I’m more inclined to believe Syndicalism would work, reform won’t meaningfully happen from within.

In general, I’m anti-tendency and believe that the material conditions of each space need to be analyzed independently.

Technically, Lemmy itself is a “radical left” platform. That was its purpose in creation.

Just finished Signalis, got the “Promise” ending. Feel pretty empty after that, it’s such a good game and is further proof that games don’t have to have incredible graphical fidelity or huge teams to be fantastic and look great.

Co-ops are cool, but markets in general have far too many disadvantages for me to advocate for market-based Socialism over a non-market solution.

Nationalize internet.

Not just mods, but the entire Capitalistic model.

Yep, fucking terrifying.

That’s the biggest thing for me. If I can get a similar phone to work in the US with no stability or functional compromises, I’m happy.

So charming 😍

Ya love to see it.

Fucking Factorio. Tried that shit years ago for 2 minutes and never touched it again.

Not because I didn’t like it, of course. I stopped because I knew if I played any longer I’d have to drop out.

It’s 2023 and trends have trajectories. This may be difficult to understand.

I try to keep it to one longer game, and one shorter game at a time. Right now that’s STALKER Gamma and Signalis, with Signalis on the Steam Deck.

Speaking of, Signalis is fucking amazing, fantastic horror for anyone new to the genre or fans of Silent Hill 2.

Yep, and his support is and always has been a minority.

Individually? Possible, totally. In aggregate? It’s not a secret that Japan has an uncomfortably large fascist subculture. Putting 2 and 2 together as an aggregate makes sense.

Of course, I wouldn’t go up and assume a random Japanese person listening to fascist northern European metal is necessarily a fascist, but if they also had the rising sun flag of Imperial Japan on their car, or hanging in their room? Absolutely.
