I separate work under capitalism from community directed, individually motivated, anarchially organised work. Hence the first edit.

Learning is a requirement of productivity, productivity cannot exist without learning, therefore learning is productive.

I don’t think people have an issue with work, they have an issue with the current state.

Get ready for prohibition era gang warfare

See, I would classify learning for learning’s sake to be productive.

And, yes, that’s exactly what I was trying to say

That’s what’s so concerning about the case. The USA tried to persecute an Australian citizen working out of the EU for publishing information.

As he is not a US citizen he was not able to use the X amendment to free speech.

As a terrorist they could torture and kill him without covering anything up.

He didn’t leak, he published.

If precedent was set they could kidnap anyone from sovereign countries based on US law

And even the things you have achieved are meaningless, people probably didn’t like it, and you’re still so bad at the NEW THING, why evén get öut ofbed

I appreciate your optimism and it’s the correct approach. I think the consensus is it’s optimistic.

You’d get bored and want to be productive.

It’s just hard to be motivated when burnt out by a company that hates it needs you and forces people to do work in a stupid way without autonomy and the goal of fucking their customers

That would be good. Non binary was rare among the queer community when I was a teen. Already, friends have asked me to chat with their kids who are coming out. I don’t have much to say, they’re more onto it than I ever was. I was surprised by the number until you mentioned it’s more common now

Haha, I agree, he’s a mixed bag.

It’s nothing you wouldn’t be aware of, but it’s good to see some awareness raising.

So they’re looking to defund the vape industry. Likely to allow further changes in the future.

Labor left the legislation open to charge individuals before the Greens pulled them up on it.

At least the Greens prevented a black market from centralising to organised crime, but if they think this is going to stop an online-first generation from accessing vapes they’re dreaming.

That’s the point of the court ruling right? It recognises the current climate when determining safety and disadvantage, not the past.

It does seem to go against the thought provoking point of a modern art gallery

Ah, so that’s what triggered friendlyjordies video yesterday.

This comment seems contentious. Are the differences in opinion political? An ideological opposition?

• Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC)
• China, the Peoples Republic of China (PRC)

Thank you for your comment, it provided more context than the article

This has been a journey and I’ve absorbed a lot. I’m going to go touch some grass and chat to someone about the weather. Goodbye Lemmy, I hope you sort this one out.

Ritzy shit, I’m cooking up dried beans at 2 $/kg

It does make me think about a US China war.

It’s reasonable to assume the US would be the aggressor (the ratio of countries invaded since WW2) and all their weapon components are refined and manufactured in or around China; rare earths, chips, etc.)

They would have to win quickly and dominate completely: read brutally.

So I’m ever optimistic there won’t be a war.

I can see why they might think that. Churches bred and centeralised community. But it can happen anywhere, in Australia, where we have very few churches, communities center around sports clubs.

IMO, materialism and modernism has changed the populous’ focus away from community, shifting to the values of capital (which serves only capital) and forcing everyone into a 40 hour work week. While financial independence from a majoritively abusive male cast, a female member of each household could maintain social connections to their community and share in unpaid labour with households nearby. [To disuade docwhistle; the neo liberal solution to this is a 4 day week (not tradwives).]

There is simply no way to have societal mental health without community.

However, people who feel safe and supported by their communities are more difficult to manipulate and dominate, they are harder to proffit from as they pool their resources and keep their money within their community. As such, I do not think we will see a solution to this problem under the current system.
