Let's get one out of the way first, I am not looking for a discussion how this or that is useful, I am tired and I am here for a laugh with anyone who is ready to engage on a humanist level instead of technological and empirical scientific point of view, especially looking for my fellow luddites.

I hate how people think socialism is a magic bullet that can solve anything and everything automatically and they need to remove capitalism and put in socialism then not do any other work. China doesn't have a magic spell, if there aren't the problems (in a technical sense) that others are having then there is always a catch, be it distillation or numbers skewed by companies, our organizational efforts shouldn't be towards making people like technology, especially s technology philosophy of which has roots in capitalist alienation, consumerism, and misanthropy.

far to many people percieve politics as something akin to team sport. to them, there are no good or bad actions, only good or bad teams.

Really someone did say "we shouldn't talk about good and bad things, only who controls them"
