This argument that higher wages = higher prices was discredited at length by Karl Marx in his pamphlet Value, Price and Profit

Frankly, people should have just been savagely, viciously mocking these crazies from the moment their nonsense started to pick up an audience. As someone who studied biochem at the masters level, the things these people say are so far removed from any of the accepted science and so far down the rabbit hole of looney, sensationalist Hollywood nonsense that it genuinely puzzles me that more people didn't simply bully these people for having such a tenuous grasp of reality. If I made claims half as outlandish as these people, I'd have been rightly made fun of and become a public laughing stock.

It's not even right to call this evopsych at this point, its just quackery.

When the mural by Jack Hastings at Marx House in Clerkenwell Green in London was rediscovered in 1991 behind its library's bookshelves, a film was made about the artist, his work with Diego Rivera in the United States, and how the mural came to be painted at Marx House in 1934.

Happy to have our instance back tbh. Was honestly starting to think about packing it in with all the fartbrained liberals clogging up the feed.

It's an expression that nods to the tendency of liberals to empower, enable and ultimately align with fascists against socialists, communists and the labour movement generally. There are a great many historical examples of this phenomenon, but among the most prominent are:-

  1. The German SDP aligning with the remnants of the German Imperial Army and supporting the proto-fascistic Freikorps as it savagely suppressed the rising of communist revolutionaries at the end of WW1 in order to preserve German bourgeois rule

  2. The reintegration of the defeated Nazi and Imperial Japanese leadership into anti-communist organisations and state organs in the new west German and Japanese nations by the triumphant capitalist powers at the end of WW2, including leadership of NATO by a senior commander of the Nazi Wehrmacht and leadership of the rebuilt Japanese state by one of the most brutal colonial oppressors from Japan's old regime.

  3. Unapologetic support for Augusto Pinochet's murderous takeover of Chile by a wide range of liberal powers and voices, most ardently by figures such as Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, the former of whom considered offering him political asylum in the 80s and the latter of whom publicly expressed outrage when Pinochet was arrested and subsequently subjected to justice in the international criminal court for the crimes he committed against his own people.

Lemmygrad is already acknowledged by all other instances to be itself a power.

Good. This way they'll never see us coming...

Biochemist here, It's almost certainly an overhyped study. The operative term being used here is "potentially" full body rejuvenation is possible. It doesn't address issues such as administration of the therapy in tissues with virtually no turnover rate, including cardiac tissue, skeletal muscle, and nervous tissue. You cannot renew something that the body doesn't naturally replace via the cell cycle.

It all comes down to the mods, I suppose. If we have enough solid, socialist mods that don't take any shit then they can keep the libs in check. When large instances don't have that, the libs run amok.

I remember a time when Lemmy had like 10 people and we'd be lucky to get 5 upvotes to a single post. Now we actually have a functional feed that will more or less have new content every day.

For the love of God, keep karma off this platform. Let upvoting and downvoting function purely as a way to prioritise posts.
