google hasn't done much with YouTube yet

[–] dbkblk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

There's Peertube as an alternative. It lacks some content, but the platform is on par. It is developed by a French association called Framasoft. Thus said, you're right, Youtube is still okay, even thus there are some fake videos and scam, but they are easy to avoid.

It lacks some content

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, if this isn't the understatement of the century.

It might be good to reiterate (in part) why we're all in here.

I just wish we had a bit more political balance here... I'm not talking about fascists, but more people that don't blame everything on capitalism would be kind of nice...

[Entire world on fire] "I just wish everyone wasn't so fixated on discussing the fire, how it started and who's responsible..."

You have to realize how mesmerizingly obtuse your comment is?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 hour ago

Lol. Yes, I'm obtuse. You aren't, but I am. Great argument.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Too late, capitalism is the problenz

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Yes, it is. But it's not the only problem... In fact, there are a thousand other problems I wish we could all discuss with at least half the fervor as this topic.

But no. This is the topic.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder what else is to blame ?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Human nature? Greed? Racism? Biggotry?

There's an upsetting number of topics... And now I'm depressed. Because life is depressing when you think about it too much, isn't it?

[–] manicdave@feddit.uk 0 points 52 minutes ago

So, capitalism then.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

If nearly everything currently wrong with the country weren't due to capitalism run amok I could sympathize. But unfortunately it's not the 1960s anymore.

(segregation was a legacy of capital interests pushing race theory to justify slavery)

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 52 minutes ago

Okay, buddy. It's all capitalism. Good luck with your pamphlets! I actually like the idea of making Western nations question capitalism... This said, no. It's not "nearly everything" wrong with the world.

Wake up, my friend. It's 2025. Just because people in power are getting worse, doesn't mean we can't strive to be better.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 27 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Not trying to get into a whole ugly thing, just curious what your pro-capitalism stance is. Because I would definitely fall into this big Lemmy category of seeing 90-905% of modern problems being rooted in capitalism. So I would (civilly!) disagree, no doubt. Doesn’t mean we can’t have a reasonable discussion!

[–] lengau@midwest.social 5 points 2 hours ago

I would also be interested in a defence of capitalism that doesn't come down to "but the USSR" or similar.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

LOL. I'm not pro-capitalism, but thank you for proving my point.

I actually think, as one example, the US's healthcare system should 100% be socialized.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world -1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Sorry this is a platform for people of you're an ostrich then please go back to sticking your head in the sand

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 59 minutes ago

I'm not Dee Renolds, but you may think of me as such, if it makes the world feel safer for you.
