Was there an alternative? No. Why not.. Guess who stopped it?
This liberal stand of calling people lazy or weak to not resist things that kills them self or the environment is a argument what puts the blame on the people instead of the one making sure everything stays in there interest.
And yeah 'democracy' the term the US used to invade countless of countries in the name of freedom, peace and democracy. What were the wars really about the last 20 to maybe 50 years? About private interest of oil.
The US democracy is nothing more then big industries calling the shots. Spreading so much propaganda people don't know what to believe any more.
50 years ago presidents were already shouting that they were going to cut back on fossil fuels. What happend there?
If the US really was a democracy you would have had free healthcare by now. It's nothing more then a smoke screen.
And by now with the help of social media propaganda has become more of a psychological weapon. They know exactly what triggers specific individuals and how to steer them.
If we keep trying to fool our self with this believe that people should just be come magically immune to propaganda and advertisement we are pretty domed.
I'm shocked how people who are correctly formulating this as an attempt to frame black people a criminals and to scare white people are down voted! Open your eyes people! And if you care about your fellow humans, please report it
Or just no one in power, like a horizontal governed political system.
I've set the reply to you on Talkyard
This looks a bit sketchy, I need to agree with the term of service but the term of service page is empty.
What data do you collect, and do I need to enter my logins for my social media?
Wow looks really nice.
Was looking for something like it or maybe build it my self but then with the matrix protocol and profiles.
But still need to dig in to it, don't know if it would be possible with matrix.
> I have noticed that most millenials seem to have completely forgotten the concept of "starter home" and assume that as soon as you turn 25 you should be entitled to a 4 bedroom house with a pool, huge yard, wonderful neighborhood, three-car garage, etc
I don't know where you live but I almost find this insulting.
I'm from Amsterdam my self and friends of my are being forced out the city because of the high rent prices.
I'm 32 year now and because of some shitty new rent laws that says every tenant needs to have an individual rent contract which our landlord refuses to give I'm also being pushed out of my home. I tried to find something for my self just anything would do, but I'm kinda skewed because I just earn above social housing and here in Amsterdam there is not really a market anymore for middle incomes. So yeah I'm being pushed to either live in a room or move out of the city. But I also couldn't find a room in time so now I'm going back to my parent. So yeah your comment kinda hits a nerve for me.
It depends on what you value and what your drives are. But to give you a bit more tangible advice. When you are asking your self "Is it time to leave?" a couple of days in a row, it's probably time to leave. And don't fear leaving, the amount of growth and experience it brings you is mostly already worth it.
> It's just a lot harder to build peer-to-peer systems than centralized ones, although peer-to-peer systems are ultimately the most resilient.
I don't think that's true, top-down/centralized systems will become exponentially more complex with every new layer.
Elinor Ostrom come up with the 8 design principles[1] for dealing with the tragedy of the commons for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize. She concludes that top-down regulation doesn't work because of complexity and laissez-faire because private companies will try to maximize their profits. So she studied common pools and found out that if they missed these 8 principles between groups involved it would lead to depletion or conflicts. This I think is an anarchist solution to the problem only she called it polycentric governance.

I thought I read somewhere in the HN comments that Medium articles are automatically down voted by the algorithm. I rarely see them. But I might be mistaken.
I will gladly donate money to them the whole year trough.
And I think a lot of people/businesses would as long as they market it well enough and make it easy enough.
> 1. Do not set a goal that involves conquering the world, saving the world, or attaining personal glory. These goals have internal contradictions that will lead you away from doing good work.
Can you maybe elaborate on this a bit more? Just curious.
I see know one here defining what news is.
“News is all about sensational, exceptional, negative current events – and those five words capture precisely thats wrong with it.” - the Correspondent
News doesn’t teach you much about how the world and things work because it focuses on exceptions.
Here is a good piece about it from the Correspondent who run their news platform on the same thought.
