The benefit of one big app is a consistent identity. Seeing that an account was created years ago, and how long it's been a member of the current server, helps identify spam and scams. When a user you're familiar with provides a link to another Discord server, its more trustworthy.
Discord has also done a good job protecting identity; better than DNS has :) I use lots of other apps with "real" identity, Discord is good for centralizing non-work, non-family activity.
How many Trump's bad polices did the protestors force him to retreat? if nothing changes, its a shitshow just for the people to feel good about themselves.
Mao's revolution failed, the PRC is a capitalist nation with a highly stratified class system and no path to Communism. Why would you wish that on the USA?
And if you don't believe that, how does a peasant army stand up to the USA military?
> Mao's revolution failed, the PRC is a capitalist nation with a highly stratified class system and no path to Communism
it failed doesn't means we forget it and dont want it anymore. we still think of him all the time and wish we can try again. we are not commusim, but we are still the closet one. and we still have the biggest chance to become one. so i hope USA people can have someone like him, and live a better life, not pathetic enough to compare their living standard to a developing country like china.
Post on 小紅書 about class consciousness and time how long before your post is deleted.
Developing country for 70 years huh? Maybe if you keep working 996 while living in a tiny apartment you rent from a Beijing Billionaire, the PRC will finally become an industrialized nation.
Stop redirecting. Invading Taiwan won't stop 996 and won't give you communism. You're just like an American Trump supporter, allowing yourself to be distracted from your degrading working and living conditions imposed by an aloof ruling class exploiting your labor for their excessive profit. All it takes is picking a foreign bad guy and you clap and cheer and believe the people exploiting you when they tell you that actually it's these Big Bad Other People that are making your life worse.

> What's your alternative suggestion?
Good question. For starters, the common saying about "doing the same thing over and over expecting different results" applies here, which you seem to at least entertain.
What I would do is try and figure out exactly how and why people protest some things and not others. What spurns them on to stand in negative weather with snow and windchill standing for Cause A but not Cause B, C, or D?
My theory is essentially manipulation. The trolley problem is interesting to apply here. Why are some causes (lives, because people are dying every day across many conflicts) worth protesting and others simply don't matter?
If this theory has any value (probably not, but maybe) what should be done about it? I posit trump is a symptom. Focusing on the symptom is why harris lost. "I'm not him!" didn't work as a platform. Protesting against the symptom is like slapping a cold cloth on a fevered person instead of treating the infection causing the fever. It might even work for a half hour or so, a little, maybe.
What is the root cause of all this? How did we get here? I posit, and hold your breath for this one: money and power. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I cannot figure out how the stock market is at ATHs, unknown hundreds of billions are sloshing around for "AI" and I have friends making over 130k/yr trying to figure out how to pay their electric bills. How does that happen? How do we fix THAT?
I don't think protesting trump fixes that. If anything, it emboldens him. "Oh you don't want me to stop hitting you? You mean like this hit (punches you in the face) or this one (punches you in the stomach)? Ok, so not the face?" [Proceeds to punch you in the stomach]
Follow the money. Figure out the inception of these causes people get off their couch to protest. Fix that. These epstein files might have been a good start. Find the other 100 epsteins, they're out there. Blow the whole up for real.

America could never have a successful communist revolution if the best its communist parties can muster is support from an imperialist nation whose motives aren't at all aligned with global worker revolution - after all, that's Trotskyism, which is, uh, somehow also counter revolutionary?
Loved this one; from the same guy who wrote Scanner which was nice before WinDirStat and WizTree. You could add AI plugins which could take the role of a player, without cheating.
