You’re right, this isn’t right-wing, guaranteed employment is in socialist constitutions. The more of us working, the less we’ll individually have to. Contrast with, say, nazi Germany where they had relatively few people working many hours.

Wanting death to rapists is all well and good but I heard from a victim that, because most sexual abuse is committed by people the victims know, punishing them with death disincentivizes people from reporting their abusers. Maybe that can be alleviated by teaching people from a young age to recognize abuse and that rapists must die no matter how you personally feel about them? I don’t know, it’s a sensitive issue and I’m fearful of letting my hatred for abusers (my own and otherwise) cause me to accidentally hurt victims.

Fair enough but with their advancing military tech, China may not even need to send soldiers out at all by the time WW3 comes.

EDIT: Saw in another one of your comments that you’re aware of the heavy investment in robots.

Fitting if he’d do that. That’s Hitler’s birthday.

Splendid, I always wanted an excuse to massacre my family.

I’ve read papers that indicate that there’s much less risk of damage in casual sex in places like that compared to the US where the culture and sex ed are much worse. As MLs, we need to observe these kinds of phenomena in the context of the world around them.

Aren’t you Dutch? I heard the Netherlands was one of the most “sex positive” places on the planet.

I’m non-binary. Am I thus immune to the psychologically destructive effects?

Neither clowns nor Mario deserve to be done this dirty.

Nice username, it checks out.

The latter may feed into the former. The US, including I believe much of its military power, is fueled by resources it plunders from Africa. I’m hoping with the US’s weakening forces and weakening soft power, people will be more incentivized to follow suit with what’s going on in Africa (and also in South America, there may be a wave incoming there too).

Alright, so 3.4 million people in the US’s case. That’s over a thousand times as many people as the group who stormed the capitol. Could work, I’d say.

Oh right, that one. And it may be the most addictive of them all. Released literally in 1984, during Chernenko’s brief term.

My guess, besides the possible bourgeois themes and influences present, would be that video games often demand massive amounts of time and dedication compared to other media and may thus come at the most expense of a social life or connection to reality.

I’m a hard-core gamer myself with over 150 under my belt, have been forever. But I also acknowledge that I’m a product of a dysfunctional, isolated environment, so the pleasure wouldn’t be guilty here.

In a “communist utopia”, we’d probably have the means to require less sleep and to stop aging (with how quickly tech is advancing I wouldn’t be surprised). Thus, you’d have more time to game.

Even the early socialism of the 1936 Soviet constitution limited the working day to 7 hours with plans from Stalin to further shorten it. Everyone being guaranteed a job means less work required from individuals (and higher purchasing power because the price of goods will fall as they become easier and quicker to make). So, your free time may still go up.
