Yeah, it is nearly impossible to dismantle a belief system like this. Just like it is with extreme (both left and right) political beliefs.

What I am arguing is that capitalism and (classic) liberalism goes more hand in hand than capitalism and classic conservatism. Also, liberalism does not guarantee nor guarantee the lack of monopolies. Monopolies are the result of economics and the industry’s fixed and variable costs.
That being said, I do agree that monopolism is generally bad for society, as it reduces economic welfare (look it up) by generally reducing consumer surplus while increasing monopolist profit by a lower amount, thus creating a dead weight gap.
As a last point, somewhat unrelated, I think that it is an insult to the victims of fascism to call anything you don’t like fascism. I know you are not alone with the comparison, but I wish people would stop sorting people as either people they like or fascists. I think that people sometimes forget that the world isn’t inhabited entirely by saints and fascists.
I hope you have a great Sunday evening though :)
As a conservative (by Danish standards, in the US I would probably be centrist and probably vote for the Democrats) I would say that capitalism doesn’t work well for every case in a society. In the olden days, people would meet in the town square and use the village posters.
Those local communities has largely been replaced by the internet today, and whereas the old communities was run by itself with its people taking ownership and responsibility for it with the incentive to make the community as good as possible, today the communities are largely owned by companies with a profit drive. In these new communities the incentive for the owner (the company) is not to create the best possible community, but to extract the most money from it.
I would say that pure capitalism would be to the detriment to a society. Capitalism is more a product of liberalism (where I am not using the definition of liberalism that most Americans would, but the “correct” definition) than it is a product of conservatism.
So did I, but I absolutely did not expect internet culture to radically change.
Did you expect people would really change compared to how they acted on Reddit?
Vanced is advanced with ‘ad’ removed btw.
In Denmark we say “prosit”, Latin for “may it help”. The funny thing is that in German they use prosit for “cheers”.
Bite its tail off!
I expected to see this when I looked at the comments, and you didn’t disappoint me!
Take my upvote!
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Who even cares about aputocorrect?
That sounds true, yeah.
Which is why ISO 8601 is superior.
That reminds me of a university or company where they had a mission critical server that they couldn’t locate. It was running perfectly, but after numerous searches they still couldn’t find it. Finally it was found behind a wall…
I updated my RPi zero running pi hole today. I had to disable pi hole, and even then it took well past half an hour to update…
Fair use is not universal in the west though. We don’t have fair use in Denmark, but we do have a similar and more limited concept.
Take a look at this post. Maybe the GitHub repo mentioned there can help.
Well, it does sound like you just read the headlines…
