Reddit is complicit

Unfortunately, politics is terminally online now.

The only ridiculous person here is you.

Go Charlie Kirk somewhere else.

Right, but greed is just the term for self-interest that is harmful to others. My point was that the "non-harmful" greed that knitwitt was talking about is the same constructive self interest that drives society in both capitalist and socialist systems.

How about you define those two terms yourself, and re-read the comment thread.

You're not having a meaningful discussion by arguing the semantics around "self-interest" and "constructive greed".

Do you genuinely not understand the point that @knitwitt@lemmy.world and I are making, or are you just wasting everyone's time Charlie Kirking?

Self interest is a massive part of the open-source movement which is inherently anti-capitalist.

Thanks for the explanation.

I don't think the proliferation of violence is a good thing. I think the most powerful entity having control of violence makes the most sense, as it reduces the amount of violence. That is, assuming that entity is sufficiently limited and democratic, but that of course is the foundation of liberalism.

I think most social democrats would be in favor of private co-ops, state owned industries, and recycling.

If factories/offices were owned by a co-op though, wtih no state, what incentive would they have to let you repair/recycle their product? Who would stop them from putting DRM in their product, and gluing everything together? Who would enforce right-to-repair laws?

Was giving literal gold to Donald Trump part of that campaign to save the users?

Both Tim and Pinchai paid Donald Trump money to attend his inauguration and lick his ass on a daily basis. They both have one very big incentive to invade their user's privacy: American fascism.

I wouldn't call people Russian trolls for having a different definition of the word "liberal" than you. Most online leftists use the term "liberal" to refer to bourgeoisie that support, intentionally or unintentionally, mega-corporations and patriotic nationalism.

disliking things like rules-based world order and voting?

What reasons would illiberal ideologies have to be against that? Nationalism? Opportunistic cronyism?
