Yeah let’s not compromise and be the same assholes and become what we seek to destroy. If only we had a lefty dictator then his benevolence will make everything better. Hitler was a problem, let’s to Stalin again… ;)

Arguably the sweet spot in any representative democracy is somewhere in the middle. So the struggle of left and right ensures a balanced political landscape. Too much distribution of power ensures nothing gets done, to little and we get that dictator situation.
I know this is supposed to be “left good right bad, mkay”. Let’s have some balanced takes around these parts. <3

politics @lemmy.world•Megyn Kelly questions whether Jeffrey Epstein's desire for “very young teen types” made him a pedophile
1·1 year agoExactly, that’s why the magic line is at 18 and personallyiI think we need the half your age plus minus 7 rule. And being a dad of a soon to be teen daughter I’m all for 18+ before she starts getting active.

politics @lemmy.world•Megyn Kelly questions whether Jeffrey Epstein's desire for “very young teen types” made him a pedophile
16·1 year agoTechnically true. Pedophelia is about a lack of bodily development of primary sexual markers. As soon as the kids develop any kind of puberty, the pedophiles interest is over. The next phase is as bad as the teens think they are able to consent, but not really. You could even argue that does not change just because they are 18+. But that’s the law.
I would argue Epstein probably didn’t peddle actual kiddie porn cisam type of business but more the kind of power fantasy that you are rich enough to break the law without consequence and enjoy those carnal instincts that nature gave you and society doesn’t deem respectable or legal for the reasons given above. And the great thing about that fantasy is that you can trap people very efficiently and then broker the control over high value targets to other nations. And that’s probably how Trump and Putin met. Putin went shopping for a future president he can blackmail into anything. And the rest is history.
Killing Epstein was probably not about him exposing powerful people but costing even more powerful people their expensive remote controlled politicians.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how do you explain selfhosting to the non-techies in your life?English
1·1 year agoI have long suspected that its a techies responsibility to take care of their immediate friends and family in regards to self hosting. SoiI usually offer that service for free to my extended family. I usually tell them they have to rely/trust someone, might as well be me and if it weren’t them I would charge customers X money for that service monthly. So it becomes a gift and something personal and they feel taken care of and when the dreaded “help me with my email” call comes you just pop open their account without trying all the password on that crusty sticky note and look into it. I especially love those “they claim they didn’t get that email” calls. Pop open the log and send the excerpt of their server accepting the email to the claimant and boom number one of all the standard excuses is done for. I once saved my mums job that way.

31·1 year agoI think Putin likes this just the way it is.
I use sogo for that. Includes a web interface as well as proper authentication mechanisms and sync integration. Is also lightweight and even allows LDAP integration oif you like.
Also caldav support for tasks and events as well as carddav for contacts. Also allows connections to any email account for sharing calendar events and being invited via email.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump, 79, Called Out for ‘Droopy’ Face at 9/11 Memorial
4·1 year agoRemember how they just kept using the emperors face in the equilibrium movie after his death? That’s what’s going on here.
Well it’s not just a picture though. It was breaking news for me and i had nor yet seen the articles. Could be a fake information not, no? Or ragebait.

politics @lemmy.world•Senator Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral. So she clicked on it and saw her face and her voice saying things she had never said. It was an AI deepfake.
14·1 year agoOkay, I’m gonna be the one to say it: things like this wouldn’t be believable in good faith if people weren’t so used to being fucked over by their politicians all the time.
Pretty sure it’s all the hate that seeps out into their faces. The surgeryi can’t hide it, but it can distract from it.

18·1 year agoThe grandpa part is what worries me. Your children and their children will inherit this problem. You are the generation that has all the time and money and influence now. Maybe fight that shit if you still can.

Sounds alot like more than you assume about political theory my friend.
