Yes, my point was more that you being or not being American is irrelevant in this context, considering the USA’s status as the global hegemond (thereby causing everyone to have a stake in it regardless). My thoughts still stand.

Do you care to explain exactly why it’s not understandable?

In any case, you’re getting angry at the wrong people. This is counter-productive.

Not necessarily. It can describe both fascism in action as well as things similar to it. This is the Merriam-Webster entry:

: advocating for or working to further the aims of fascism : fascist

a fascistic organization

Going 7,000 miles across the globe, toppling two fascistic governments and establishing democracies in their places … is, by historical standards, an unprecedented military achievement.

You don’t even know if he’s American or not.

And even if he is, what difference does it make? You’re in a Lemmy comment section. People are going to write what they’re thinking. Even if they don’t, this sort of thing will still be in their heads. Which you can’t even blame anyone for considering how impotent the masses are in the US. Thoughts like these are perfectly understandable regardless of who it’s coming from.

Not to impose but I wouldn’t bother continuing to try and reason with this person. They’re clearly more interested in pushing an a priori argument riddled with presumptions and bias instead of actually acting in good faith.

And yet Indigenous populations still suffer needlessly, all it takes is a simple online search to see that this is the case across both the US and Canada. Additionally if by “long dead” you mean “barely a lifetime ago” then sure I suppose you’re right.

This isn’t ancient history. At best it’s maybe a century in the past. And this deterministic mindset of “it’s too late to do anything, so oh, well” is almost exactly what caused this genocide in the first place. It’s frankly pathetic if not downright deplorable.

Since when has illegality stopped parasites rich people?

What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

Ah I see. Sorry, I really can’t be certain of anything here haha.

I honestly can’t tell what this is implying. Are you construing my thoughts/background? If so it’s very presumptuous.

Go be the one to start it then. You’re not exactly among the most proactive people on Lemmy.

No CDs big enough, sure. Most modern consoles (like PlayStation and Xbox) use Blu-ray as their disc type for physical copies of games. Those can hold up to 100 GB for PlayStation 5 in particular.

Regardless, even if the disc isn’t able to store enough data to hold any one game, it isn’t immediately a problem. For example, the physical copy for the PS4 version of Red Dead Redemption 2 came with two discs to hold all of the data. There are ways around any data capacity limitations more often than not for physical media.

The History channel? As in the channel that hosts and broadcasts “Ancient Aliens”? You’re not exactly helping your case here.

Additionally, you’re incorrect in your citing of the notion that all property in a communist state is communally owned. All private property is communally owned, but that only goes for anything falling into the category of productive assets used to generate profit and subsume labour. You’re by all means still entitled in such states to owning any personal property, i.e. various forms of entertainment, food, toiletries, housing, etc. The whole basis of your distinction pretty much falls apart through that correction alone.

For the sake of providing an external source, you can read further on socialist/communist ideas through this website, particularly the first two paragraphs which once again thoroughly deconstructs your false distinction of the aforementioned ideologies.

Where did you get this definition of socialism from? There’s no such thing as as socialism that allows for capitalist ownership of the means of production; if a socialist says it’s fine, they’re not a socialist.

As per Einstein himself (in his article entitled “Why Socialism?”):

In [a socialist economy], the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilised in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child.

As you can see, as the means of production are owned and maintained by society itself in a socialist economy, there would be no possibility for any aspiring capitalist to accrue those means for themselves, and thereby maximize their own profit. In theory they would just be another worker without any special economical advantage over anyone else.

It’s as the case is with everything for these parasites: if it loses them too much money or makes them too little, they avoid it like the plague. It’s cheaper upfront to just run it through an open system.

Multiple things can be true at once.

Yeah, it’s also straight-up unfinished. They really just desecrated Indigenous land and didn’t even have the consistency in their shitty behaviour to carry it out completely.

The current Idiot-in-chief adding his likeness to it would be like pissing on a shit cake.

It’s on a case-by-case basis of course so it wouldn’t be the same for everyone. But generally speaking, Linux isn’t user-friendly (though I’m not saying it isn’t at all) in the sense that everything is guaranteed to be compatible with it and work immediately, whether it be certain peripherals that require extra setup to work correctly or software that was never specifically made to work on Linux. I know that from experience, having had some head-scratcher moments when trying to run an obscure/older game or trying to get certain hardware to run on my Linux machine without it having had compatible firmware out of the box. And I wouldn’t even say that I’m all that unknowledgeable with this sort of thing.

I’m not trying to disparage Linux or anything, but it’s definitely not so black-and-white as it easily working well for everyone all the time. It’s never really accommodated for that unfortunately, especially since there’s no one universal Linux distro with all those sore points snuffed out. Until that’s the case I don’t think it would typically appeal to the average person who only games on the side.

The main appeal of consoles is that you can essentially just plug and play without having to worry too much about extra configuration. As much as I like Linux, it’s generally not a good alternative for console folks who just want to relax and play video games.
