Ah, I see! I didn’t consider that.I just thought about active evolvement by either supporting the government or supporting the genocide directly and couldn’t think of a thing. But I get it now. Not sure if I would call that partly responsible, but that’s semantics in the end.

… calling them partially responsible for the Nazi genocide is a stretch at best. If I am wrong feel free to educate me with a source.

In general I agree. People should be able to make informed life choices without pressure. However, I don’t think universal basic income is the solution (see below). In Germany we have no public university fees and you can get Bafög; which is a far from ideal conditional income enough to cover housing and food while you study. You have to pay a part back once you are done, but far from all (at most 50%; often less than that). I wouldn’t mind a study UBI.

I am for social security and social services that allow you to make an informed choice of what you want to do. Beyond that I am for “you have to work”. But I am looking at “work” from an European perspective with all the protection laws in place and not an American perspective.

The main problem with UBI (Universal Basic Income) is that while tests showed benefits (highly depending on countries), financing UBI is difficult. So far no larger country has completely adapted UBI at least partly due to that reason. Also, no study was long enough to see the “people are less incentivised to work” issue.

Deserving to live and surviving are not the same. In the natural condition if you don’t gather or hunt, you have no food. You die. You do not deserve anything.

Even in society you are not entitled to others working for you. However, in a civilised society we should provide for those incapable to provide for themself due to ethics.

Hungry for knowledge, are you?

At least you don’t have people who do politics as a job and no one is incentivised to constantly increase pay for them.

There are studies on the topic of random election https://arxiv.org/abs/1103.1224

Iceland tried it for their constitution: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/jun/09/iceland-crowdsourcing-constitution-facebook

I really like the idea of randomly elected representatives. Sure, they will try to better their situation for afterwards but with enough corruption control (which is probably easier to implement), this will only ensure that they support their kind of workers a bit more than the rest.

Electoralism =\= Democracy

I love it that the page is designed to advertise multiple pieces of software but stopped at curl ^^

More coming soon. Or not. I don’t owe you shit.

ffmpeg is definitely also a candidate for this.

No. While there are many opinions by no means are all really intellegent once binary. See Hanna Arendt “The banality of evil” or Friedrich Nietzsche “Beyond good and evil” (result is debatable but smart mad)

Fair. I was unsure what’s prefered as linking an outsourced image doesn’t take instance space. I also expected it to be viewable like other images. I am pretty new to lemmy.

the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.

Strelok?!

Somehow I also had Waluigi in my head when I first saw him.

France in general does a lot of things right. Their whole open source movement is amazing! Just take a look at https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and their tools like https://cryptpad.fr/

And politically as well though I can’t pinpoint it to an exact article. Just the general vibe I got from them and the decisions I saw.
