lmao imagine thinking this makes him look less symathetic rather than more. What a fucking loser you are.

If that was adequate to explain Youtube’s decision-making, the platform would be unrecognizably different for all of the terrible things Youtube didn’t do because it would be – and indeed was – terrible
You’re really cool and I appreciate you
“It’s called the Campaign Against Antisemitism, surely it’s an authority on antisemitism. I also go to the National Endowment for Democracy for my democracy news and the Foundation for Economic Education for etc.”
It was a deliberate joke, I think
“Post-Open Source”
Overly-teleological modernist framing has hopelessly fucked up tech discourse. Too much declaring things the future and hoping people will just believe you.
Start Again is a really cool mini-JRPG and I’m surprised it’s one of the last ones left
This is a reading comprehension issue. Look at what I said more carefully, I am implicitly supporting the idea you are trying to help your kid and telling you to argue from a standpoint of human benefit rather than sovereignty. With the rise of Christian nationalism, we’re only going to see an uptick in “children are the property of the parent” style reasoning, and we should all be fighting it.
The marketplace of ideas tends to be a much weaker force than “what are my friends playing?” I’m all for treating kids as people, but that also means understanding that people mostly choose what lets them get on with their peers the most easily.
You made the correct choice getting rid of Roblox and you don’t deserve to get flak for it, but
I am allowed to parent my children how I see fit
This is a shitty way to view the question. As someone with unique authority over the child, you are obliged to do your best at doing right be them.
“But I am!” you say
Then say that instead of this children-as-property shit
Minecraft seems like the obvious choice for kids who liked Roblox. Terraria is another. If they can only play on a server that one of them hosts, then no need to worry about outside users.
Good on you and the other parents for getting that shit out of there, kids don’t need addiction machines trying to pressure them into spending money.
Remember idealist/materialist in a philosophical context is, in its most common use, a metaphysical distinction. Marx’s use of “idealism” is based on this but isn’t the same.
But an important element of Marxism is that it ascribes strategy based on a) class position and b) conflict-aversion. If you are a prole or you just want to play it safe, even as a member of the bourgeoisie, it tells you that socialism is the best way to accomplish that goal, but it’s by the same framework that it can give a capitalist insight on how to practice capitalism with still-more-brutal efficiency if that is what they want.
You’ll get there
Nah, undergrads read almost zero Marxist literature, almost 100% from Marx and just a tiny bit from Engels. The rest is memory-holed from history.
I think Marxism is functionally but not technically inherently communist on the grounds that it avoids discussion of moral values and things like that.
I encourage you to go over to c/askchapo on hexbear.net if you are curious.
It is not “the classical version of communism”, that would be the Utopian or anarchist ideas and projects that preceded it. Marxism is a class of ideology that has historically and still does have the greatest weight in geopolitical importance, starting with “classical Marxism”, a now-dead ideology, and its many successors, like you list.
Marxists don’t argue for a deonotological disallowing of markets, but believe that those who own the markets should not thereby own the rest of society. I’m sure even you would agree that it would be better is everyone had the comfortable position that you do – and indeed we should move in that direction, even though we cannot simply decide that everyone will be wealthy tomorrow – but we all must work with the conditions we find ourselves in, including to transform those conditions over time.
If you’d like to discuss the subject, there are many comms on a handful of instances where people would be happy to!
You don’t seem very interested in the responses that do elaborate. I wonder why that is . . .
