You’re german, you should be very well aware that CCC always has been political and that being Antifa is a stance a lot of folks support. Don’t try to muddy the waters here. In the US it’s a different case but here we’re explicitly speaking

What does this article really ‘reality check’? The editor’s understanding of quantum computing?

I wasn’t talking about revolution, just about acknowledging critique. I highly agree that capitalism brought the most prosperous period for humanity but there’s still lots to do and we all _have_ to listen to the poor, the disenfranchised,

I’m sorry but this assertion does not hold in general. Two things to think about https://psmag.com/magazine/cellphone-revolutionary-objects https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jul&#

who would have thought that capitalist realism wasn’t the antidote to all of the world’s problems? certainly not thatcherite or reaganite policy building ideologists!

There’s actual nazis running for the Republican party ( https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/1... ) Does that make the Republican party nazi? Absolutely not and you should not pr

How is this comment downvoted? It’s true.

Ok. I see our definitions diverge too much for me to work on your assumptions.

Sorry how is suppressing your right to organize in the workplace not internal politics?

Imagine saying this with a straight face when “Google and most SV companies” became literally the largest donors of neoliberal lobbying in the US during the last 10 years (also, Europe). Your worldview skews very right if you say that. Whil

The United States government is legitimized by its people. While I highly disagree with the ‘America terrible’ feeling your argument does not hold.

You’re just showing that you’re not judging on information but on a hinch of what Switzerland is to you. 1) Very conservative and risk-averse population, yes, but also really open to technological innovation 2) Best universities in mainland

Thank you. Apparently everyone on HN loves a contrarian until they see one in the wild. You should get to work, there’s a lot of stuff to do. Of course we need to protect our precious peace and prosperity, but we also need public opinion to

How much more apocalyptic can you get? Do you think painting an apocalyptic picture and then blaming some parts of the population on the bad parts of your picture will do anything good?

Look I’m trying to build alternatives and help struggling social movements. I just don’t agree that the analysis of “it’s the elite, dumbass” is sufficiently clear eyed.

by euroPoor 7y ago
Of course, that’s the whole point. But you can build inertia. Take a look at Europe where there’s tremendous protesting going on regarding Climate Change, and we slowly see some change in for one, public opinion and two in policy making. It

Of course it’s difficult, but we all have the means to build social movements, companies or sue if we feel that there’s something terrible going on. But we all like our flights, our cars, our cheaper and cheaper phones, stable policy in the

Doubtful that a clinical psychologist would grasp 300 books in a highly mathematical field. You know, next to doing his job. I’m not saying he isn’t smart just that his conceptions about Continental philosophers stem from poor understanding
