Love the username

They’re not even pretending to be genuine at this point.

It should just be a combine harvester. The machine itself is an impressive product of ingenuity, engineering, and labour, as well as symbolising agriculture. It is also a symbol of progress and prosperity.

I know, I was trying to get in on the insider trading, but @dessalines@lemmy.ml won’t help me out :(

I think I’m a little bit out of the loop here. Who is “we” referring to in the title? This community specifically, Lemmygrad in general, or a joint mod/admin statement?

I’m also aware that CriticalResist has a blog, but I’m not familiar with where you publish your writing. Is it mainly here on this community or do you also have a blog or edit articles on ProleWiki, etc.?

I tried searching for this source but I couldn’t find it. I also don’t see such a stark difference over the years in the QS University Rankings and Times Higher Education, which may be biased, but they’re generally what universities compare themselves to in my experience.

I think letting an “ally” bomb your energy infrastructure and looking the other way was also a strategic mistake, but what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rare China L.

Is this still the case? I thought this was slowly falling out of style, but maybe it depends on the place.

More and more in my experience it goes something like:
“How’s it going?”
“It’s going”
“Yeaaah…”

When I read the title I thought it was talking about drafting people for food delivery platforms like military conscription, lol.

It does seem like a positive development. Ever since Uber initially took off, this style of subsidising to choke off the competition and either monopolise or collapse has been devastating.

Yet? Hopefully never.

I’m just waiting for someone to waltz in and bless us with some enlightened analysis about how China is actually building these to suck all the air from Xinjiang and Taiwan.

But at what cost??

Isn’t this how it’s always worked? I think it’s the same with lemmy.world where you can see comments from .world users on Lemmygrad but they can’t see your replies.

Jimmy Carter has been the only president that hasn’t been a complete fuckwad

Old man Biden did well as president

USians considering people from the Global South as less than human exhibit number 32 quadrillion.

Just FYI, .world users can’t see replies from lemmygrad accounts.

I kept it short because I considered it obvious

Classic.

This is a good moment to point out that an open source alternative to Figma, Penpot, exists and has come a very long way and is almost feature-complete with Figma. It also has its own unique features.

I’ve personally been using it for a long time for various use-cases and I’m more than happy with it.

I’m not disagreeing, I meant for The Principles of Communism specifically because it’s such a short read. If most people read it just once it would save so much time that’s usually spent clearing up misconceptions in conversations.

I wish most people would start with that instead of the Manifesto of the Communist Party (or “The Communist Manifesto” as most people call it). It gets through most of the misconceptions in a much faster and simpler way. I like that you have it listed first in your reading list.

At the very least it would get people to start grasping what communism even is, instead of them creating vibes-based strawmen in their heads that they argue against.
