It's interesting how much the #fediverse is in denial of these things:

1. Big Social is bigger for a reason: you can reach audience, share information, and maintain networks. This is what normal people use the internet for.
2. The Fediverse has failed to attain that status for the same reason FOSS lingers in the dark: they did what they were comfortable doing and went no further.
3. Free speech is a binary. Other than spam and CP, everything has to be included... or you go down the path of Big Social. No one will notice because they are dumb but utility will decrease. Unfortunately, this requires tolerating both poa.st and brony.social.

Normies are the biggest audience.

People do not want them, necessarily, but do not want them to either attack or ignore their groups.

Communism always leads to failure, news at 10.

Come on, hug it out.

Some methods do not work well; we agree on that, right?

Like sticking forks into electric outlets, stealing gasoline by torchlight, etc.

Oh no, honey, I'm much worse than that.

I'm a monarchist, eugenicist, ecofascist, Nietzschean, etc.

Like I always say, "culturally liberal, economically libertarian, politically conservative, and ecologically fascist."

The Nazis are generally offended by me.

People like me bother you because we are entirely outside of your current political paradigm.

We reject #DEADS -- democracy, equality, atomization, diversity, and socialism/subsidies -- and want a futurist traditionalist society.

Also, since the current Regime is failing, we are the future.

In the meantime, notice you are not saying I am factually incorrect.

Amplifying this: every first world nation and most third world ones are technically mixed economies.

This is the "last system standing": mixed economy liberal democracy. Even China is a variation on this.

I would like to speak up for Henry Hazlitt here. A little basic economics is useful, since people act as economic actors especially if they claim otherwise.

I enjoy Greta. She is Left-compromised but I think originally meant well.

The problem is that meaning well is not enough.

The environment is the biggest issue for me, but it cannot be tackled by avoiding economics.

Rather a sensible set of incentives need to be at the core of civilization.

Disconnected rhetoric. Did you have a point relevant to the discussion?

I think there are a few confusions here of different branches of theory.

Economics relies on the idea that people act in their own advantage, but recognizes limitations on rationality and information that are not equally distributed through the group.

However, economics explains group behavior rather well.

In pursuit of self-interest, people will pursue things such as lower working hours, but only if there are not other disadvantages.

Communism does not work because everyone ends up starving and there are mass executions.

• Cambodia
• Soviet Union
• China
• Cuba
• Eastern Europe
• Latin America

All the same pattern. Castles made of sand.

I think most of those were clearing out Communists in order to prevent murders.

At least, that is what Saint Pinochet did when he threw them from helicopters.

Some things are emotionally satisfying, so we pursue them despite them being demonstrably self-destructive:

• Overeating
• Promiscuity
• Alcoholism/drugism
• Gambling
• Narcissism
• Greed
• Criminality
• Bullying

All of these are rediscovered by each new generation despite lots of historical data that shows how they end badly. Socialism is no different.

Franco strikes me as sort of a reluctant fascist the way Tito was a reluctant communist and the founding fathers in Murka were reluctant democrats.

That is, he saw it is as his only option, but also wanted to limit it before it became a runaway.

It's ironic that people are calling Israelis "Nazis" now, while conservatives are calling Democrats "Nazis," and Democrats call Trump a "Nazi," despite almost no one looking at what the Nazis were.

They were basically nationalist Democrats who liked supply-side economics.

So it makes no sense to call Democrats Nazis, since the relationship was most likely the other way around (although the parties were flipped then, I think).

The NSDAP adopted the worst aspects of the Napoleonic government as well, including a huge regulatory state.

Their environmental policy was good but too limited.

I tend to agree here. He most just did not want Spain getting destroyed by socialism.

It depends. For many it would, but those who are still maturing will always be weak to these ideas owing to youth and inexperience.
