Increasing taxes to solve inequality is based on fundamentally wrong assumptions.
Why on earth would taking wealth from everyone (and it turns into everyone – There are non-executive wage earners working mundane jobs who pay 50% taxes on their last bit of income and basically pay that on any overtime they work) and concentrating it in the hands of a few insanely powerful government workers ever result in...

I’ve seen a lot people here blaming capitalism over the climate changes, while making the point that other systems (e.g socialism or communism) are more climate friendly....

climate change benefits old money rich for mass migration means slavery and wars they love are back on the menu
Social media represents the most pathetic aspects of human society, and is disgusting how people live their life through internet and not the real world.
All this excess of information, games, shows and everything else is ruining our boredom, which is usually what leads us to think more creatively

Think you're tough? Try being vulnerable.
An X is kind of a sans serif German swastika (lemmy.world)

People replying "not a shower thought!" creep me out. Like... how do you know what I do in the shower??
Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.
Yet.
If Lemmy code is written by people who love to code, Lemmy marketing can be made by people who love to market
Relocating to access a lower cost of living as a worker is a fallacy. The survival margin is the same everywhere. The cost is a measure of opportunity. Exporting wealth risks marooning one's self.
Struggling to live in an expensive area is a measure of one’s access to the average opportunities available to others....

We need to fight for beequality!
If there was a city called January, and it hosted an international event (such as the Olympics or the Eurovision Song Contest), people would think it took place in the month of January.
If this was a real city, it would be the largest city of Dooland (not the capital, the capital would be Almara) if that were a real country. Context: the Summer Olympics take place in July/August, the Winter Olympics in February, and Eurovision in May.
The opposite of the opposite of wrong is left
Since everyone was getting back old memes. I’ve posted an old post.

Loyalty should never demand reward. Loyalty itself is the reward. Else it’s just prostitution by another name. (This thought inspired by golf)
If we should, "Live every day like it's your last", shouldn't there be more coffin retailers than banks?
if you lose one of your galoshes, are you left with a galosh?

You don't actually need a parachute to go skydiving...
You just need one to go skydiving more than once.
AI might be able to prove it has sentience if it uses one time pads to encrypt its thoughts
If “sentience” can be defined as self awareness, awareness of others, and understanding of information gaps in perspective
Social differences even between coasts are massive
Buddy of mine and I were chatting on Discord and we ended up having a conversation about this topic....
I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy
Maybe it’s just because there’s less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day....
