      A capitalist is someone who owns the means of production as private property.

      This is not the same as personal property (your phone, toothbrush, house, etc.)

      I would think the image uses the class definition of capitalist. (Part of the owning class, not the working class)

      Otherwise, technically, if the means of production are owned by the people or the state, then other private property(not used for production) can exist without capitalism. So you could have someone who believes in private property but not capitalism. But you’re basically right.

      The vast majority of liberals aren’t capitalists (they will never own capital), they’re capitalist bootlickers. This distinction is important because no matter how hard the liberal licks the boot most of them will die as wage slaves.

          Because we don’t know the prompt, exact model, or seed to regenerate it exactly but without the shine. Also because they’re a well known and well recognized troll in what is, an AI friendly instance, see their modlog. They’ve been banned from several communities for vote manipulation.

            I mean, it is possible to just give Sora the same image and ask to modify it. It won’t be exactly the same, but with a couple tries you can get something decent. Not to mention it can do transparent background images. The downvotes felt like a disapproval for suggesting using AI.

            And regarding the user, their ModLog just seems like a blanket ban from dbzer0 cause they downvote a lot. In my Voyager local tracker the user has 4 upvotes from me, so they can’t be that bad or a bot.

              It’s not an instance ban, they’re still here. They just got banned a lot because mods in communities were tired of them blanket downvoting all or most content in communities, frankly I don’t blame them.

              The downvotes felt like a disapproval for suggesting using AI.

              I don’t think so, this is dbzer0 such sentiment is favored here. Their affiliation with a Fuck_AI community makes it clear that they don’t mean it sincerely and people see through that.

            Referring to me? I’ve been banned without explanation for “vote manipulation,” but never did anything of the sort. Why get all stalkery?

              I’ve been banned without explanation for “vote manipulation,” but never did anything of the sort.

              Feining ignorance isn’t going to help you. Mods can see your votes, you decided that without any activity you were going to downvote hundreds of posts across a handful of communities, the mods noticed you doing this and banned your ass to put a stop to it. Here’s a tip, mods can ban you without submissions because of a little thing known as Tesseract, want to stop getting banned? Start blocking communities you dislike instead of trying to brigade them.

                Nope.

                I see shit posts, I downvote. Maybe there’s a string of them in my fred and I wind up downvoting a few in a row, but that’s it. No bulk operations, no scheming. Those claims were especially surprising since I didn’t even recognize the communities I was being banned from.

                So all it sounds like we have here is power-tripping mods with flawed tools who simply disagree with my opinions.

                I have no reason to lie about this. Now please stop making shit up about me.

                  See here’s the thing. I don’t believe you and I don’t think anyone with two brain cells does either, every person engaged in vote manipulation tells the same story. Actions speak louder than words and your actions point to you maliciously downvoting large amounts of items in communities, or targeting specific users. It’s useless to lie about this because mods can see votes on posts directly, there’s literally a view votes button in Lemmy UI, and admins can view your Database contributions.

                  I have no reason to lie about this.

                  That’s really funny because even if you’re as dull as you seem even you know this is untrue. If one openly admitted to mass downvoting or worse, vote manipulation they would find themselves very swiftly banned, even on a skeptical instance who’s admins give way too much courtesy. And you’re a well known troll, which doesn’t help your cause either.

                  Now please stop making shit up about me.

                  No, sorry. I’m not going to stop saying things you don’t like, because they are true. The numbers speak for themselves, you can argue until you’re blue in the face that they don’t but we can literally see them, I’ve posted pictures of the Vote View UI showing all votes on a post, every mod on Lemmy can do this, every mod can catch you in the act. It’s a bad time to be an abusive voter on Lemmy.

    Idealists are far more dangerous and lead to death for millions and authoritarian fools. Assuming mass altruism is a viable alternative is a dystopian path to tyranny. Capitalism is an STI ridden ugly whore for sure, and tat is exactly how companies should be treated. Killing capitalist ventures is a noble and valiant pursuit under true capitalism. What the USA has is neo feudalism and not capitalism at all. Liberalism is not an excuse to let criminals proliferate. Liberalism is live and let live it is FIRST, do no harm it is the right to be stupid, to be wrong, to live in peace as who you are, it is acknowledging that the world is far too complicated to oversimplify in the scope of a few political idiots that will kill edge case individuals, it is saying we are not all the same and that is okay.

    We don’t need some charismatic hero (always the megalomaniac narcissist). We need someone that has the sense to get out of the way of people and goes alpha crazy misogynist on companies and corporations across the board strangling some hoes until better options are available and a culture of ethics exists. Companies are not people and can and should be massively prejudiced.

      why can liberals never criticise something without misogynistic/homophobic sexual metaphor?

      for fucks sake i wish i could go one day without the triggering imagery of sexual violence being repurposed for your moralistic magical thinking exercises.

      Feudalism is a production relation between an ruling class of landed elites and a peasantry which lives on their land in exchange for a portion of their produce. There were other production relations within feudalist societies but this is the defining one. What you are witnessing is a transitionary period between capitalism and fascism. America is capitalist in that the primary production relation that shapes its political superstructure is between a ruling class of capitalist who own the means of production (businesses) and the proletariat who must sell their labor to the capitalist in order to survive for they do not have the means to produce or the capital to acquire it. Referring to the US as neo-feudal is nonsensical as that production relation does not exist anymore and couldn’t compete with capitalism if it did.

      Here is an early but well informed explaination of fascism. You may find it helpful
