  • Decades of anticommunist propaganda, destruction of the careers of communists via McCarthyist red baiting, and in the worst instances outright murder of prominent leftists. Like if I went to a communist rally with my face uncovered and it got sent to my employer I would probably lose my job.

    We’re talking about the democrats though, the “left” party with actual power, but the most radical among them are social democrats at best with most being centrist technocrats. There are genuine leftists and even left parties in the US but none with any power.








  • The whole thing is going to zero in the long run, in my view

    It’s like TVs, eventually you get to a point where the incremental features don’t really add anything to the user experience, like when they tried to do the 3D TV thing folks were like no, we are happy with HD, thanks. Once in a while we have a breakthrough in tech like 4K but once all the manufacturers catch on all that is left to compete on is price and then it becomes a race to the bottom.

    Phones might be different in that they can be wealth signalers, like jewelery, but I’m not sure how much longer consumers will keep biting. What are they going to do, add a 5th camera? To what end?

    Already we see the upgrade cycle slowing, sales missing targets etc. I’m sure inflation isn’t helping either.
