Awoo [she/her]

I worked at the server company that previously hosted discord servers (no longer exists) and let me tell you right now that all your conversations were accessible on the server to anyone in the company and completely and totally insecure. Overall security was pretty meh and it wouldn’t be very difficult for anyone who really wanted the information to gain access to anything on your server.

It is not a valid place to store or discuss anything that requires operational security. It is also not a place where customer data should be stored or discussed, in fact you’re also probably breaking gdpr by accident if you ever do so.

Not really. We’ve had forums that literally allow you to post to them without even signing up with an account. Without being a “user” at all. This isn’t about “checking” anyone, it’s simply about limiting its ability to be used as a troll tool below the point at which it becomes too tedious to bother. At that point you have eliminated 99% of it.

This CSAM poster is 1 single person among hundreds of thousands. Making it too tedious to perform eliminates them along with the problem entirely.

Forums have existed on the internet forever and and have already dealt with this thousands of times previously. You don’t need to overthink it or reinvent the wheel. It didn’t stop forums existing very comfortably in the past and isn’t an issue that should be that different to deal with today.

Simply limit image uploads to a certain account age threshold and karma threshold and you will eliminate 99% of the ability to abuse this.

You are not a moron, stop pretending to be. You know how to use the internet. You don’t “win” by saying “please provide a link”. It’s there on the worldbank site, look it the fuck up and stop resorting to debatebro redditisms. If you spoke like this to someone in person they would punch you in the face.

That’s literally not what you just linked to lol. It’s what I linked to sure. But you know how to type in a basic URL instead of a subdomain that’s only used for certain links.

The url error on my part is irrelevant. You’re pretending to be internet illiterate for the sake of defending a position you already know can’t be defended. This is what you people always do, rather than accept that any real analysis of human conditions under socialism vs capitalism does not support capitalism you deflect.

Your data is either not found

Bro it’s the world bank. If you can’t access it that’s a problem on your fucking side not the most reliable data source used in academia for nations on the fucking planet.

Holy fucking shit is this your first time even hearing about them? Do they teach anything in your schools at all?

Using wikipedia is dogshit, stop using it.

The World Bank data is here, which is the same data used in the study: https://datatopics.worldbank.org

The actual current data is:

USA: 77.28

Cuba: 77.57

Vietnam: 75.38

China: 78.08

Look at Hong Kong kicking ass at #1 though.

Hong Kong is not a country, it is a city in China. Individual cities are not good examples of life expectancy when life expectancy of cities typically outperforms life expectancy of rural regions due to quicker access to life-saving medical facilities afforded by density. This is why you really shouldn’t rely on Wikipedia for your understanding of anything. You should go to primary sources yourself instead of allowing editors to curate and present information for you.

I think your info might be a bit out of date at this point.

Irony?

It depends entirely upon how it is obtained.

Generally you are correct that a certain level of worth is unobtainable without being a horrible human but not always. As I said, there are many athletes who are working class despite earning many tens of millions.

I very much consider Muhammed Ali a revolutionary comrade for example.

Then there is Maradona. An incredible comrade who has Fidel Castro’s face tattoo’d to his leg and Che’s on his arm. Who did incredibly important work for socialism in latin america.

You should focus less on their total income and more on how it is made. Class is what matters, and while class generally forms along the lines of rich vs poor this is a reductive simplification of marxist thought.

Which ones? There are plenty of rich working class people that I consider comrades. The issue we socialists have isn’t income, the issue is class, which is quite different.

Your class is determined not by your income but by how you receive your income. A working class person makes their income by selling their labour to a member of the bourgeoisie (capital-owner), whereas a member of the bourgeoisie makes their income by stealing the surplus labour from a member of the working class.

There are working class people that can make quite a bit of money. Athletes and actors for example. Although in many cases once people make that kind of money they also become members of the bourgeoisie by investing it in passive income such as landlording or stocks, that is not true of all of them and is very much something that should not be assumed.

As for killing the bourgeoisie, I am in favour of simply phasing them out. Although I am not naive enough to think that they will just allow that to happen without trying to kill every last one of us first to prevent it, and believe in the need for us to be prepared for violent action when they do turn to that option. It is not an act that I think should be advocated for by itself, other than with some hefty layers of irony as a means of generally promoting militancy.

Say something that isn’t vague and useless then.

I am 100% certain that if you compared socialist countries today you would get the same result.

This is extremely obvious when you consider that despite obviously lower levels of development in countries like China, Cuba and Vietnam have higher life expectancy than America.

Not to mention that 21% of america is illiterate whereas literacy in socialist countries is consistently the highest in the world.

Any person doing even the most limited of critical thought about healthcare access, education and life expectancy can understand that socialist countries today would come out on top when compared to their capitalist counterparts that sit at the same level of development.

The fact that you just dismiss it with the USSR present in the data is odd. You are aware that rent in the USSR was 5% of your total income correct? I think your perspective and understanding of how people lived is not in line with reality, your confusion about this data is because you have fully bought into propaganda instead of getting a proper and measured idea about things. You are not immune to propaganda.

List within the study and the classifications:

If this image doesn’t display for you(because of the attacks) let me know and I’ll find some other way to share it.

Here’s an image of how the comparison shakes up:

“I’m scared of having my political illiteracy exposed and dunked on so I only ever write intentionally vague responses.”

In almost every single country it has been deployed in socialism provides a better physical quality of life when compared with capitalism at the same level of development.

political compass

Anyone that uses this to navigate politics is themselves politically illiterate.

If you’re concerned about legal liability I think it’s worth noting that there is some protection for websites in this matter. For the most part as long as you’re taking “reasonable action” against it you’re not liable, and that most laws take into consideration the resources of the site dealing with the uploads.

Not pleasant for users though of course. And the speed at which its handled is obviously a concern.

Celtic football fans have a message for you.

It’s one of the ones that I feel this copy-paste “solves” so it’s pretty simple. I’ve been tempted to make a new reddit account purely to post it everywhere after searching for “molotov”. But I’m lazy. No doubt that the various feds of the world will figure out a new narrative to counter it if it caught on too.
