  • You and I and everyone here knows it's not caused by LGBT people. But commentators on the right have been pointing out all the problems that men face and point the finger directly at LGBT, Feminists, and POC. Just like how the Nazis did the Jews. Yeah it's not true that it's LGBT people's fault. But thanks to propaganda he now believes that's true. It's up to OP now to decide whether this friend is worth keeping and help deprogram him, or whether it's time to leave him and move on. And that's a deeply personal question that OP will need to decide. There isn't a right or wrong choice it's just whether it's worth the effort of deprogramming them or not.

  • 1.) Turns out this is no longer true because the cors issue is fixed as of two weeks ago.

    But to answer your question:

    Well that's the really silly part about it. You see, the way CORS works is that it only works if the client making the request implements cors. In this case when I say client I'm talking about your web browser itself. Native applications, or hitting an API directly via network calls, don't implement cors and thus you can make the calls all you want and the server responds. So even when cors was configured to only allow requests from the correct domain it only affected people with web browsers.

    However two weeks ago a PR was merged into the Lemmy source code setting the cors to by default allow requests from anyone instead of a specific domain.

  • Web front ends currently require a backend service that then routes to your intended destination because Lemmy servers by default are configured with cors to only allow requests from their intended domain. There is a PR to fix it but I don't believe it's been merged in. This may be out of date but that was true as of a few weeks ago per the dev of Voyager which is the web frontend I use

    edit: this is no longer true. A PR 2 weeks ago fixed this issue and web front ends are able to work just as well as a native app now.

  • I don't think it rejects any of those things. When capital goods are privately owned then by definition the workers do not have autonomy or control. If the workers of a coop own the capital goods I would consider that collective ownership of capital goods. Not quite public ownership (you still have to be in the group to access it) but not private either.

    Climate critiques are definitely in the realm of capitalism. Your house and your land you use to live on is personal property. But if you are running a factory or a farm for other reasons than for your own use then that then ceases to be personal property and falls into private property which is capitalism.

    I've not seen a better difference between capitalism and socialism than capitalism is private ownership of capital goods while socialism is the collective or public ownership of capital goods. Social democrats are not socialist because they are not addressing the ownership of capital goods. They just share the profits via state provided safety nets and benefits.

    This understanding is also inclusive of the different forms that socialism can take. State (🤮), Market, or Gift/Library/Communism. I'm open to other opinions on it if someone has critique or a better definition. This is just the one that's made the most sense to me over the last 7 years of me being a leftist

  • The pain and oppression he feels is real and it's caused by patriarchy And capitalism. Not the LGBTQ community. Other forces have validated those feelings but pointed to gay and trans and brown people as the cause. Rather than dunking on them with "are you even oppressed bro?" Like many others here are suggesting which they admit would never work because of course it wouldn't work who responds well to that, the best way to change someone's mind is to talk with them validate their feelings and struggles and fears and point out that it isn't minorities causing these issues but direct them to the real cause. I know it's hard to empathize with people who see you as the problem but it's the only way to actually change their mind and get them on the right path if that's what you actually want to have happen. If it isn't then go ahead and hit them with a "check your privilege shit lord" and go about your day knowing you just owned the patriarchy

  • And I'm sure that comforts them when the mental health crisis gripping them leads to another suicide or more alcoholism or drug abuse. I know when I'm struggling with the weight of everything in dealing with I tell myself "Well, at least white people control the economy and nation." And then all my problems go away and I continue happy knowing I can oppress minorities and women /s

  • Every Social Democracy is built upon imperialism and exploiting goods and labor from the third world. Social democracies are the epitome of well it works for me and people who look like me but fuck everyone else. Plus social democracies almost always are very restrictive of who gets to participate in said social democracy since the state can only provide these services to so many people before things collapse because it fundamentally does nothing to break from the destructive capitalist systems. They also tend to be really really racist too.

  • Capitalism has pretty much one defining feature. The private ownership of capital goods. Worth also repeating that anti capitalists are opposed to private property (of capital goods) and not personal property (your house your car your toothbrush)

  • Except the thread was specifically talking about whether people who identify as straight are into women or into femininity. The person in the post responded they were into women because he is sexually attracted to women's curves (namely their breasts) and some ace person decided that it was disgusting for him to say that because they (the ace) don't find people's bodies attractive therefore anyone who does find people's bodies attractive is super gross and the OP was just responding back defending himself. This wasn't some unsolicited comment about trans people.

  • Math is our representation of real world phenomena. The universe is not calculating any computations when gravity takes effect. This is basic mathematical knowledge that they teach you when you first learn physics. So no, math is not real and is entirely made up.

  • It's harder to break into but I make 150k and barely graduated high school. Software engineering is largely a field that doesn't care about degrees but about ability. It's harder these days to break into the field than it was 10 years ago when I did but it's absolutely still possible
