Well, without a magically enlightenment any communism implementation will fail again and again, repeating the same failures of the past. Some people are arrogant or naive enough they will do a better, everlasting communism if they had the chance. History shows us the degradation of the initial values will follow. That’s my opinion.

You disregard the capacity of humans being evil under every regime. I mean you can have a few good men wanting to create a nice Communist utopia, but eventually a lot of evil man will take the power and use it in their own advantages. Every Communist implementation suffered from the same problems. Not only that, but because most Communist implementations were authorian in nature, the corrupt leaders in power had more tools to be evil.

People should become more enlightened and they will naturally desire communistic society. Until then, I guess we are stuck with this.

I believe a similar sized list (scaled to the timelines) for all the failed Communist experiments from Central/East Europe, and Asia.

But they are not willing to pay/donare to/for FOSS projects less than a Macdonald’s menu…

You know, for apps and services that actually respect your privacy and freedom!

Russia is a terrorist state, one with very primitive means of action. But the same can be told about all the world superpowers. You don’t get to be a superpower in this crazy world unless you have a little bit of blood on your hands. Sometimes the blood is fresh, in other cases, it’s crustier.

Other than being a swamp of data collection, manipulation, and propaganda what is there to talk about Twitter?

I really don’t understand why people are so upset now. Marketing (sorry, Social Tech Media) Giants are not to be trusted whatever mogul or oligarh is in power.

As a person who never used Twitter, because of the incoherent, choppy content was posted there, not to speak about the privacy concerns, I don’t see any reason why Twitter is radically worse with Musk than it was with its previous owners.

People don’t need social media at all, at least not in that format.

So happy.

This basically means baning all Netflix, Disney and HBO productions.
