I've been posting lemmy on reddit, and have gotten a few bans for my trouble.
I welcome the bans.

Food and housing should be covered as part of basic income. We absolutely have the global production for it. The implementation is all but blocked because of earth-legacy, so I'm not saying it's practical with today's society. It would take extreme global change.
People make comments like "then why would anybody work" but that doesn't take into account how damn efficient our farming and production is. We're on the cusp of extreme automation and the actual number of workers required is very low. People would still work to own better homes, better food, better cars, better electronics, more access to travel, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure how to get there form here, but there's nothing technical preventing it - only sociological. Which is a bigger hurdle in my opinion. Technology is easy. People are not.
Easily done, I already avoid them.
Japanese workers get more days off than American workers.
Japan 26
USA 10
Japanese on average don't work longer than Americans (2017)
#39 United States 1,765.00
#43 Japan 1,738.36
Don't get me wrong, they have a crazy work culture, but it's worse in the USA.
Had me in the first half lol
Japanese are very against violence, and incidentally it's the safest first world country. And the work culture has been improving in the last decade or so - though not nearly fast enough.
Japans GDP has been almost flat since the mid 90s, they are not following the west's """infinite""" growth. Not that I'm saying capitalism isn't part of the problem, it absolutely is, just saying it isn't the entire story.
Humans are all different. It's difficult to accurately generalize them. Some people like only fans, but for other people it does literally nothing for them.
To each their own.
my hands are filthy so that's fine
Tell that to the french
Interesting link, thank you!
I've had a few of my "check out lemmy.ca" posts deleted there and frankly I don't see how it breaks reddit TOS. They're just bitter.
