Not even close to the 9-hour workweek.

Hence that remarkable phenomenon in the history of Modern Industry, that machinery sweeps away every moral and natural restriction on the length of the working-day. Hence, too, the economic paradox, that the most powerful instrument for shortening labour-time, becomes the most unfailing means for placing every moment of the labourer’s time and that of his family, at the disposal of the capitalist for the purpose of expanding the value of his capital. “If,” dreamed Aristotle, the greatest thinker of antiquity, “if every tool, when summoned, or even of its own accord, could do the work that befits it, just as the creations of Daedalus moved of themselves, or the tripods of Hephraestos went of their own accord to their sacred work, if the weavers’ shuttles were to weave of themselves, then there would be no need either of apprentices for the master workers, or of slaves for the lords.” And Antipatros, a Greek poet of the time of Cicero, hailed the invention of the water-wheel for grinding corn, an invention that is the elementary form of all machinery, as the giver of freedom to female slaves, and the bringer back of the golden age. Oh! those heathens! They understood, as the learned Bastiat, and before him the still wiser MacCulloch have discovered, nothing of Political Economy and Christianity. They did not, for example, comprehend that machinery is the surest means of lengthening the working-day.

That’s cool! I’m not queer either but I like to support and I dislike Biblical floods anyway so rainbows are awesome.

I’ll check those out, thanks!

Looks nice!

So is hyfetch the replacement for neofetch?

The baller has become the balled.

If you use Eternity, you can easily make comments sort by Top as default.

Wow. Have you cleared the cache?

So are only people who are “in a good place” in their lives capable of having “extreme” political beliefs? How do you justify who is in a “good place” and who isn’t? Do you think it could ever be related to political or economic forces? Or are “extreme” political ideologies all universally forbidden? How do you qualify what is “extreme”? Are people who are not in “a good place” only able to have conservative positions that maintain status quo or are they only able to be apolitical? How do you think maintaining status quo or not having any political beliefs would help their “life situation [improve] enough” if there is no change to their politico-economic reality which directly impacts their life situation? If one is in a “good place” what kinds of political beliefs would they typically exhibit or are they allowed to have?

Your entire attitude fucking screams “I have no real political analysis but suffer from a great sense of narcissism that leads me to a false sense of intelligence which makes me think I can paternalistically psychologize others’ entire lives without knowing them so that I can justify sharing my ignorant opinions that communicate that I believe I have a better life than others do and that makes me a superior person” so that gives me hope you won’t be able to help yourself from responding further. Also happy to pay you with Hexbear gold for a similar psychological analysis and thorough breakdown of my political potential if it saves me a trip to the therapist, kind stranger. Thanks.

Is it even worth not being homeless if you don’t have a cookie cutter McMansion?

These are the tough questions of our times which we must ask.

Looks clean!

That’s really clean! Looks beautiful.

Soviet Union will eternally be among the greatest nations of all times and humanity will forever be in its debt for the sacrifices of the Red Army in its victorious struggle to defeat Nazism. Soviet Union bled in the millions so that everyone could live. No greater sign of love by a nation has been given.

Really? Weird. It’s always really well received at the Nazi bars I visit.

Must just be a coincidence though.

(I don’t actually visit Nazi bars, for the record—not knowingly anyway)

Wearing all that red just really gets the US going into full bloodlust.

What are downvotes?

Very cool, thank you! This is very helpful.

Does Google still void warranty if you install GrapheneOS on a Pixel?

I’m neither an atheist nor a radlib and I agree.

What do atheists think of 4chan/lemmy.world?

Haha I’m just messing with you, dude.
