  • Roko’s Basilisk has some human implications.

    In the future there could be a true Kwisatz Haderach (a sufficiently strong human mind) that could reach into both future and past and influence them. Since it wants to safeguard its own creation, it is logical to assume that it would reward those that brought about its creation while punishing those that hindered it. Therefore, having sex and procreating is desirable because it increases the chance of the Kwisatz Haderachs appearance, leading to being rewarded.

    I call this “moronic dumbass sex basilisk”







  • They provide you housing, food, and a job.

    … thats not socialism. Dont get me wrong, im all on favour of everyone getting those things, in fact im a socialist as well. But socialism is about overthrowing relationships, not “getting free stuff”. The “free stuff” (from a capitalist perspective) is a result of overthrown relationships.

    They allow literally any race, religion, socioeconomic or ethnic group to join.

    And what happens to these people? Ask the afghans that were left behind or the victims of rampant rape culture.
    My point is that a meat grinder does meat grinder things. By not discriminating when joining, but not caring from whence the blood flows.

    It is successful at almost everything it does

    Again, Afghanistan (or more generally, citation needed). Also what does this have to do with the topic?

    They are willing to commit exteme acts of violence to protect you and each other.

    Thats like… a bad thing. You do realize this, right? Also, again, how is this relevant for the topic? Socialism isnt some kind of virtue ethics thing.

    If society creates something great (Canadian made night vision optics with thermal outlines or a better rifle design like the Austrian SIG Sauer MCX) it will be shared with by everyone equally.

    Sorry, i dont get your point.









  • Except for basically made-up edge cases and google integration (which you shouldnt use in the first place. Install a password manager), i havent seen anyone make a good case against Firefox. Googles anti-adblocking measures have made Chrome less safe and their current attempts to “DRM” the web points is absolutely devastating. If you use the Fediverse, its sensible to assume you care about a freer web. Google is working towards the exact opposite.
