When I first started eating healthy I bought healthy snacks too. Then watching the serving size with a food scale.

I then realized I can still eat the crap junk food I did before just keep to the serving size.

There’s more to eating healthy than just calories and quantities. It’s not healthy to eat most of those junk foods, especially sugar

Ignore the genocide that y’all love to lie about. Ignore the oppression of their own citizens. Ignore the fascist take over of hong kong. Ignore that only their approved candidates can hold office. Ignore the disappearing of citizens. Both are godawful Nations.

Being able to fight for rights without spilling blood was a hard fought privilege. Blood spilling is not the only way to succeed. Though I will not deny it works, safer options should not be fully scorned.

Then everyone started driving again.

You are blind. He’s changed many policies and functions of the states for the worse. ICe, anti union policies, anti monopoly policies are tossed to the wayside, selling out the country for a dime. He’s not running like usual.

If you think this isn’t changed, you are blind.

You do understand why that is, right? It’s because it’s not meant to be a government, so pacts that won’t be enforceable without certain countries are capable of being denied by said countries for the most part. Because it’s diplomacy, not a government . Nothing stops the “yes” voting countries from making pacts with each other to go with the resolutions as well. Not doing that when usa votes no should show you something about their actual thoughts

I mean literally no, Communism is about far more than just cheaper groceries. Communism is about overthrowing capitalism;of course capital is afraid of it, even though they deserve it

Abstaining and even voting yes on the matter simply because they know for certain that the usa will vote no, allowing them to save face. Plenty of non western countries practice that as well

Probably closer to 90%. There’s probably only a few diversity hires in the frequent posting club

There’s probably some overlap where people capable of accepting themselves as transgender instead of denying it are more ready to deny tradition in general

In a communist non-state area, who enforces environmental protections? Who punishes rapists and murderers without being he said she said? Who prevents workplaces from unsafe working habits? Who assures buildings are up to code? Those are realistic issues, that don’t stop magically when you do away with a class system. Doing away with a class system will improve them, but not eliminate them.

I wasn’t expecting say, a mass exodus. But I was certainly surprised at how few people made the jump. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the best content creators and bot defenders didn’t continue using reddit, so the quality dropped like a stone.

Nothing is worth trillions,

There is things worth trillions. Like full countries, and the largest pension funds and social security funds. Having a single company be comparable to those massive collections of people is insane, and it’s because they think it can replace workers–when it can’t, not yet, and not for a long time

It makes literally not a single difference if all of us here boycotted them or not. It’s meaningless.

Just lemmy users? Sure, but you don’t stop with just lemmy users.

These billionaires are making more money than they ever have in human history

Honest to god do you think that money magically appears in their pocket. We can still claw it back. Unionize, boycott, collective action is our strongest pressure against them and IT DOES WORK.

Too bad we got stuck in a world where most people work 2-3 jobs

This is just false. Yes, jobs are underpaid and massive unionization efforts need to take place to fight back against employers. But, 2-3 jobs working people are a small, but growing, minority at this point.

Beyond the greater issues of corruption, at face value there’s no reason the government buying up a company with important strategic value should be illegal

Being pro union is being willing to take the risk in your own workplace.

Are you crazy. Have you ever seen a car tire graveyard? Cars generate far more waste stop falling for propaganda

Biking is simply the cheapest, most environmentally friendly, healthiest option.
