  • A battle of... something...

    Jump

  • Panama makes some sense, because of the loch system. Each ship that passes takes a lot of their drinking water, and they don't need to bomb ships to stop them passing.

  • Doctor who, fantasy or science fiction?

    Jump

  • I'd say both. Sci fi means there are elements that the story pretends could be possible, which includes time travel (probably not the tardis, but most other methods), space travel, and most alien races probably including one's like the daleks and cybermen. Fantasy means there are things that the story fully admits are not possible in our world, which covers time lord regeneration.

    There's plenty of other things that are both sci fi and fantasy: star wars, warhammer 40k, and marvel or dc superheroes.

  • can you not have auth left and lib left viewpoints?

    Yes, but actually no. The distinction is fundamentally unstable. If the left is constantly questioning power structures, it will inevitably turn to whatever structure the auth left comes up with.

    what's wrong with the definition of left and right on the political compass?

    It's specially economic left/right, which is almost always defined by taxation, government spending, and social welfare. While leftists usually say social welfare is a good thing, it's not changing the fundamentals of how capitalism works, which is the current dominant power structure that leftists are against.

    do auth left not also take issue with the power capitalist businesses have?

    Yes, but they usually put something just as bad in its place. You might have heard people saying that the USSR was "state capitalist rather than communist". This means that the workers and customers had just as little say in how things are run than they would under capitalists, only is was directly with the state rather than individual business owners.

  • Ah, so that's how you spell it.

  • It comes from the French revolution, when the people who wanted a better king sat on the right side of the debate room, and people who wanted to get rid of the king sat on the left. From my understanding, right wing is about incremental improvement on what currently exists (optimistically, current right wing isn't even about this), while left wing is about questioning what exists and redesigning it from the ground up.

  • Only on the political compass, which uses a definition of left vs right that a lot of leftists disagree with. Really, the entire history of "left wing" politics has been about questioning and dismantling authority. The terms "left wing" and "right wing" come from the French revolution, when the people in favour of simply reforming the monarchy sat on the right side of the room, while the people who wanted to fully dismantling the monarchy sat on the left. A lot of more modern leftist thought is about questioning the power that capitalist businesses have.

    Christians of Lemmy, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an Al photo of him as Christ?

    Jump

  • I feel offended, disgusted, and entirely unsurprised. While this is probably the most blatant example of him blaspheming, it's very far from the first. Even on top of that, him and all the other nationalists that work with him have been dragging God's name through the mud for ages, really from long before Trump started politics. I can't say for sure if they believe God exists or not, but they sure aren't following him.

    For context: I'm not American, but I'm very much Christian.

  • Conforms to Marxist theories regarding the proletariat.

    On the day you hear the news about Trump, how will you celebrate?

    Jump

  • When Charlie Kirk died my attitude was "I'm glad he's stopped doing what he was doing, but I'm sad that it took him dying for that to happen". My attitude with Trump will likely be similar.

  • epic

    Jump

  • Oldest recorded story in history that we know of. I believe it's about an ancient king trying to become immortal

  • @ casualconversation l've always known that time is an artificial construct ever since I was told to sit down to study

    Jump

  • There's a difference between time and our measurements of time. The core concept of time, as in the rate of change of anything, isn't an artificial concept. But the units we use to measure time are artificial.

  • I'm trains

    Jump

  • Trains is the factorio version of "evolve into crab"

  • How do you find the right wedding photographer?

    Jump

  • Our photographer is a family friend of mine, and he did the photography for another friend's wedding a year before ours, so we knew he was good.

  • Which is the more ecologically problematic travel mode, ship or plane?

    Jump

  • Assuming both use on board combustion engines, yes. But a train connected to a majority green energy power grid is probably more carbon efficient than most boats.

  • Religion is the abuse of anxiety

    Jump

  • I'd say it's more accurate to say the abuse of religion/abusive religion uses the abuse of anxiety. Yes, abusive religious organizations exist, and they all use anxiety about some cosmic punishment to excuse and enforce their abuse. I absolutely agree with you on their existence and how terrible they are.

    I don't think that's universal and inherent to religion. There are religious groups that are simply good sources of community with either no focus on any cosmic punishment, or that don't agree that any "cosmic punishment" exists.
