How would you go about fairly distributing limited luxuries, particularly when the value to a given person varies?
I don’t think it should matter, at least not until we’ve guaranteed everyone their human rights. Nutritious food, safe shelter, clean water, medical care.
I don’t think we can afford to worry about luxuries until we solve the problem of affording people.
Because under the hood x11 code is such a hacky mess the developers found it easier to start from scratch than add new features like HDR and VRR to x11.
If new features don’t matter to you, there’s still plenty of distros and DE’s and WM’s that ship x11 and will continue for a very long time.
Which part of that is relevant to the conversation so far?
To make one criticism of one event isn’t to say that “China bad”. That’s really black and white thinking, and comes off incredibly insecure.
Not dodging any cult accusations when you would rather take the conversation in a dozen different directions than just admit, “yeah, killing a couple hundred civilians is a massacre”.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of real videos exist, in which case it would be really easy to condemn them as gross evil western propaganda. It’s easy to condemn Zionist propoganda as gross and evil.
You know, because I’m not in a weird cult that makes me defend mass murder of civilians.
Yes the US has committed numerous atrocious, massacres, and genocides.
You know what I wouldn’t do? Make a YouTube video playing defense for the US government saying that any of those aren’t exactly what they are.
His proof that there wasn’t a massacre is that the death toll reported by the mayor is only on the same order of magnitude as the Tulsa Race Massacre?
For someone so adamant on criticizing propaganda the call is really coming from inside the house.
The fascists have done an incredible job lulling people into a false sense of security with “Trump just says outrageous things to trigger the libs he’ll never actually do anything”.
It will crumble, the question is will it crumble fast enough before its oil and gas fetish accelerates climate change too far.
Of all things why would a lead brick or bananas or corn need value?
Give corn and bananas to people for free, give the lead brick to whatever science lab or nuclear power plant needs it for free.
If you want to talk about luxury value in a post-scarcity economy, choose something like coffee.
