Who decides what is stupid and what isn't? There better be a good, clear, obvious, and universal objective method of identifying stupidity if you're going to treat it as malicious.

Mastodon is also not backed by any major donor and also has a better UI??
This comment kinda makes it clear that it's your service and you're plugging it though so I'm glad I could have that suspicion of mine confirmed
what does this have that Mastodon doesn't?
and why is the very first thing I see on the starting page a slur?
the privacy policy is a fucking nightmare

This is called "technocracy", and while it's cool on paper, it leads to a disconnect between the people in charge and the actual problems of the people.
looks like a small twister picking upon some dirt and a plastic garbage bag, or maybe a big piece of ash getting sucked into a column of smoke in a small fire
Why does the "person" seem to kinda just materialize in the middle of the column half way thru the video?
I can respect that y'all kind of hate my kind here and I'm going to use this comment to share only the most unobjectionable works that even the most anticommunist liberal should find completely and utterly appealing
Fully Automated Luxury Communism is a book about how we have all of the tools at our disposal right now to automate at least 50% of the work that we have to do to stay alive, and thus get rid of that work as a tool of coercion and exertion of power.
How Capitalism Ends is about how the power got to the concentrations it has today, where we can expect it to go by extrapolating that tendency, why there was no other way it could have gone, and what we can do now to start building the next thing.
These are two very good and easy starts to starting to think about this problem. I'm happy to field questions about the works or anything else related.
You might be right, but regardless of the origin, the belief was popularized in the West because of Christianity. Unless you're suggesting that Nietzsche is merely pointing out an intrinsic feature of all human morality, but I don't know his work well enough to decide either way on that.
I was born and raised atheist/agnostic, never set foot in a church before 18 besides weddings. Still am, never doubted it. Maybe I believe in like Spinoza's god or something but definitely no Abrahamic God.
Something I've learned is that among many other things, a certain holy quality to persecution has definitely permeated the western consciousness and it 100% has me second guessing myself often. The christliness of being persecuted, made a martyr, and suffering for your cause carries a moral quality that I have absolutely not freed myself from, even though there's nothing automatically morally good or bad in suffering and being made a victim for fighting for a cause.
I think it does matter what you define as being stupid, yes. Let's say that I want to call being transgender, not having enough money to buy food, and being an immigrant all stupid. I should treat those things as malice because they're stupid, right?
