Welcome to Lemmy
(infosec.pub)
I’m a Democrat.
Most of Lemmy: EAT THE RICH!!!
Me: Idk, liberal democracy with reasonable social safety nets, some wealth anti-accumulation, and a robust education system? We should get there by showing up to city council meetings.
Most of Lemmy: LINUX!!!!
Me: but I want a computer where I don't have to troubleshoot the wifi driver every 3 months...

not one
a rare sighting on lemmy
Somewhat yeah, but I think there are a few others, just mostly not people who are that vocal about it
Yeah I'm not really either but you just get attacked so I tend to stay out of politics here
Other day I tried explaining to lemmy why it's disrespectful to hang a LGBT flag on the side of a mountain and just got a bunch of hatred lol
I'm sorry about that you got attacked. Also I'm not trying to restart it, and not trying to attack. I am genuinely curious what's disrespectful

The one that wants to provide universal basic income based on a wealth tax.
I know this is a meme but i fundamentally disagree with what lots of other people call "left politics". I'm against immigration (for purely economic, not for racist reasons!), and i think that "men are the root of all evil" is a false and meaningless statement. It creates unnecessary tension within society and in my opinion provokes a civil war. It's literally that meme:
If you have a country that's below it's replacement rate then you need net positive immigration to compensate for this. Likewise if your above replacement rate and have problems with overpopulation then you need net negative immigration. This is fairly straightforward demographics and economics. Being too far below replacement rate without immigration leads to an aging population, and even countries like China which used to have serious overpopulation issues can fall fowl of this. Aging population is the root of a lot of economic and cultural issues. Saying immigration is bad is not just wrong, it's the exact opposite of what the situation calls for in most European nations, the USA, Japan, and South Korea.
2% of workers produce enough agricultural output to provide for 200% of society. And it's similar in other branches of the economy. We'd be able to live well with a significantly lower number of workers. The reason why people still work so much is because we're not actually working for the wellbeing of society, but mostly towards the pockets of the rich. That's what causes a shortage of workers.
There's not actually a shortage of workers if society produces for the wellbeing of society, instead of for the pockets of the rich.
On top of that, if AI replaces workers in the near future, we'd have the opposite problem of a mass unemployment crisis. Having fewer people in the country is then a good thing because there's less workers to fill the remaining workplaces.
Note that it doesn't matter whether you think that AI can replace workers. What matters here is what companies think. And we're already seeing mass layoffs due to AI.

The 'Libertarianism is better than whatever this shit is supposed to be' leftist.
I don't subscribe to an ideology per se, but I believe we should give everybody everything, and that the government should take care of every one of our needs, every last one.

Anarcho-transhumanist. I believe that you just can't trust humans to govern each other, so the best solution is give them all the tools to survive independently.
