It’s not even a question of whether we should anymore. It’s just a question of how we coordinate on it.

I suppose in this case I’m asking about a slippery slope event, not a slippery slope argument.

I am a crypto bro and felt the same way. The vibe is too uptight. If it can work without a blockchain (like Mastodon/Lemmy), then adding one just makes it worse.

Actual not-rhetorical question: did it become a slippery slope in Germany?

I was incorrectly assuming that’s what you meant by workers owning production, but I see in your reply to the other post that you also include state power organized labor.

So I guess my point is that a Libertarian would use the meme above with a punchline of “we just say communism” instead of Soviet Communism, when most here would not agree that’s the inevitable result of all communism.

I think if a Libertarian considered workers owning production in good faith but using their own terms, they’d see that a bunch of people owning production is more decentralized than one dude owning the whole factory. And then become a left libertarian.

What’s the question? Whether or not to unionize?

I think it’s more constructive to interpret what someone means, rather than with our own definitions that occasionally go against the common vernacular.

That’s why pointing out that today’s authoritarian dictatorships aren’t communism - while correct - is always interpreted as a True Scotsman. They’re differentiating “crony” capitalism because they haven’t been convinced that capitalism inevitably leads to the rich buying laws. They think we just need the right people in charge.

Isn’t the slogan “workers of the world unite?”

No offense but you should re-read the posts above.

Not that I would ever seriously suggest this, but we could start crowdfunding the sabotage of polluting factories. Payout goes to whichever anonymous person correctly “guesses” the downtime. Just joking of course.

It’s the same line of thought as ACAB; if local Jewish communities also condemn genocide, why are they not publicly and harshly denouncing Israel for it?

Except it’s possible to be Jewish without supporting Israel, but not possible to be a cop without supporting the police as a social institution.

Since we get all the information we have now: the correct answer was Bitcoin Armory. You’d have a dedicated computer just for signing transactions, carried back and forth over flash drives.

Does it still count as a trolley problem if the machine has more than one lever?

She already endured Bill cheating on her in front of the whole world. It didn’t matter to him what she was OK with.

Would you pull that lever in the voting machine, knowing full well that they’ll do this again? What are we actually winning if we’re supporting genocide anyways - genocide on someone else that isn’t us?

They have, but they’re voting blue no matter who. Admitting to yourself that you’re supporting genocide just so you can vote for genocide again in 4 years is a tough pill to swallow. So they decide that it’s not genocide, that Biden is not a fascist too.

My main thought is “this is a screenshot of a wall of text that’s hard to read”.

We don’t strongly disagree here - we’re both protecting our online privacy by bouncing that traffic around a little, through either a VPN or Tor.

We’re betting our freedom on the assumption that the bad guys won’t compromise each hop. It’s easier for them to compromise PornHub and then my VPN than it is to compromise each LN hop. So Monero won’t make my wanking any safer; the dick police will just go after the weakest link.

The value overflow incident was a bug that allowed some dude to give himself a bazillion bitcoins. It was caught and fixed before he spent any.

Just use Lightning and you’ll have literally the same onion routing as Tor. Monero doesn’t hide your IP address or dates either.

If there’s ever an inflation bug in Monero (like the value overflow incident), it will go undetected.
