The answer to damn near every question being "the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it"

A way to stop this from being the case is the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 months ago

You're not wrong, though

[–] Saigonauticon@voltage.vn 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, historically the humans do seem to like doing that a lot.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And yet we've very very rarely done it,actually.

[–] Saigonauticon@voltage.vn 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well over short time scales, thankfully not :)

Rebuilding society is a lot of work I frankly don't need right now.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I have a 30 min slot open next week Tuesday. Can we schedule rebuilding society there?

[–] Saigonauticon@voltage.vn 2 points 8 months ago

I envy your flexible schedule and your optimism!

I hate going to work

Have you considered the same job, but socialism?

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee -3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

“ The same job, except I’m now paid the same at my part time barista job at Starbucks.” (I guess the /s wasn’t obvious enough)

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are you under the assumption that Socialism is when everyone is paid the same for different jobs? Lmao

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What would a discussion about socialism be without someone who has no idea what they're talking about about chiming in?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

Fair, haha. It's always funny to directly see the exact same incorrect talking points time and time again that have no basis in reality except via red scare propaganda, like you can trace it
