if you’re reading this you are a threat
people who add AI features to shit like this are always the dumbest fucking people alive
you’re not some big tech company actually developing an AI assistant for your browser or OS it’s just a fake feature every time lol
if they’re already trying to pass off AI imagery as proof their project is robust, they will do the same with copypasted AI features every time
inhaled very deeply about to talk about activitypub and techrights idealism then noticed this is star trek dot website
I don’t trust any of these apps that are used by the DEA and trying to get a phone number out of me one bit
considering a lot of the slop people really want to watch is focused on hi def production and special effects I don’t even understand how it still exists
That’s weird that 61% of people aren’t worried they can’t pay their bills.
Economics departments are not real bro
Most economics degrees expose people to the toxic neoliberalism I’m joking about in the intial reply though. It’s been weaponized against the third world to horrible effect.
Dude you are not going to get better results by looking at further cherry-picked statistics from first world countries. The standard of living in the first world is collapsing because of finance capital and economics as a science there exists to cope about it.
I’ve studied economics as a discipline too much not to acknowledge its institutional biases. The statement “economics isn’t real bro” is a joke, but it’s a joke about how bad the state of the academy is in promoting neoliberal economics.
If that weren’t true it wouldn’t be powerful enough to turn Argentina into a fourth world nation. Milei is a product of these academic institutions.
If you actually went to or taught at a university that eludes these biases like the Braudel fans at Binghampton, you wouldn’t be scolding me for making a joke about how stupid most economics degrees render people.
If you follow the flowchart and dive into most economics departments you will encounter what I’m talking about.
What are you talking about Keynesian liberals or something? I do like to read Adam Tooze to see him close in on an interesting point only to veer wildly. Foreign Policy in general has some interesting writers if you want to mine the most advanced liberal cope.
The model of economics I’m describing is the one which has been most heavily promoted by the west, neoliberalism, it has been used to dissolve the social welfare state which was set up to compete with the socialist bloc since defeating its chief rival and counterbalance in the USSR. It’s an ideological persuasion that works along with coercion and subterfuge to eliminate capital controls and suppress the masses with starvation and crackdowns, especially in peripheral countries which are starting to establish socialistic policies or nationalize natural resources. Look at Chile for a perfect example of liberal economics in practice.
I am aware of plenty of different non-Marxist models of economics and none of them are great because they treat various sectors of production wrong. China and Vietnam have their shit all figured out that’s why finance capital and food aid can’t decimate their agricultural production and then extort them into unfavorable IMF deals.
I get sad when I think about cows
I’m kind of joking, if you want legit economics check out Mike Hudson and other MMT authors or preferably become a communist. Mainstream economists live to justify rent seeking by the ruling class. They don’t distinguish between production and rents and debts etc
That’s cool dude, except you worship it like a religion. Did you know your GDP numbers count rents and debts the same as production?
I mean mainstream economics is a farce. MMT at least approaches sanity. Yeah you need Marxism-Leninism but there aren’t many of those economists in Western academia.
I consider ActivityPub sites to be flat-out better than other website networking options. Sure, people complain about how people establish blocklists and shit and it’s not the idealized version nobody promised them that they assumed existed for some reason, but it’s like adding another dimension to these projects simply by dropping a list of linked or friendly instances into an ActivityPub site about page. Simply linking to a Mastodon you also run on your own Lemmy instance remains the simplest option over dogshit like Kbin and Mbin.
Economics is not real bro
Hey dude how’s it going this morning
but he made an epic science quip!!!
