What I find interesting is it seems like we are again converging on the same service as cable. Which suggests that the best method of profiting off watching movies/tv at home is to have ad supported entertainment, with a monthly fee.
Once again, the profit motive ruins something good .
Exactly. It's how you make your money, not how much you make.
I prefer to only read the top line of a meme then post. And no that's not a Lemmy user, that's squidward
The US has made itself a great candidate for becoming a vassal state, since there is very little material wealth generated domestically. Imagine if/when American businesses in China/Russia (I can't imagine there are any in NK right?) are nationalized. Especially if China stops exporting to the US. That would devastate the American economy, shortages of everything everywhere, and no productive capacity or expertise to fix it.
Capitalism is abandoning the empire.
They didn't dismantle anything.... All they said is Hamas this, Holocaust that, isreal has a right to self determination, look at the babies that Hamas killed.
Not once did they provide evidence that the allegations were false....
In my view this should hopefully signal to US "allies" to further move away from dependence on the US, leading to a further crumbling of the hegemony.
No one should have veto power, it makes any organization extremely undemocratic. And given the American arsenal, it's already difficult to be democratic.
Look, how can we be tolerant if we don't tolerate intolerance

Though to be fair, DPRK is the way it is at least in part thanks to the Americans obliterating their cities and farm land. But we can ignore history to make a "I used to be in a communist country and it's bad, trust me bro" statement.
And I agree, I prefer to live in a system where prisoners aren't primarily minorities or political prisoners. And where the prison system isn't the most populated in the world, and rife with for-profit forced labour.
I would also be curious to hear which definition of "capitalism" and "Communism" you are using. That is, if you are open to dialogue.
Because capitalism was the first time money existed lol
That would require reading Marx lol. These hot takes usually come from reactionaries mimicking what they hear from other reactionaries/charlatans/media towing the stateline. Marx was wrong about some things of course, like the revolutions to a democratically worker owned economy would come from the industrialized centres. But knowing about the ideas which are critical of our current economic system is dangerous to a few, and freeing to the majority.
Looks like somebody is in need of a bit of democracy, eh?
