Never understood why we call them tech companies to be honest. There is nothing technologically interesting at twitter. And if there is... it is never the subject.

I'm a bit new to the fediverse and I came to lemmy.world because it's one of the big ones and thought it would be "neutral". But nothing quoted in this post seems dangerous or against the rules ? You don't even explain what rules they are supposedly breaking ? It's weird that the admins posted this thinking "people will understand". All you are saying is "these people are from the left", we don't like them.

You should clearly states in your rules/description that you are a neoliberal instance and contradictory opinions will be squashed.

Business as usual. Climate crisis is everyone's problem but me ! Everyone must make an effort, but not me !

It's the triangle of inaction. Corporations, government and people blame the two others and use it as an excuse for inaction.

I can understand it in some cases, but meat consumption ? There is no excuse to not stop or at least reduce meat consumption. It's easy to do, it's cheaper, ... And the impact of everyone not buying meat is insanely positive.

It's useful as tracking data

In my experience acting curious and asking questions is the best way to change someone's opinion. Make them think about the subject and realize by themselves why they might be wrong.

A socialist or communist society could be healthier. Not saying it automatically would be. The only people theorizing a sustainable economy are on the (far) left though.

And the last 50 years proved that sustainability is impossible in a capitalist system. It hinders profits, and the basis of capitalism is: always more profits.

If we take into consideration the destruction of the ecosystems necessary to sustain human life, capitalism is a net-negative.

Capitalism means always looking for more profits. Endless efforts of private owners to expand and increase their profits leads to the perpetual circle of suproduction and overconsumption which destroy ressources and ecosystems.

This particular system is the main reason it's happening.

Well... no. It never was. Even the USA is highly intrusive and protectionnist. Also, state capitalism ? In you other responses you talk about China like it's not a capitalist country. China is the main example of state capitalism.

I think you are confusing capitalism with something else.

The wikipedia article is a good start if you are interested.

Ahah ! So you just change the definition of a word to make it fit your worldview. And yes wikipedia is not a great source but it usually cover the basic stuff. I gave you the link to get you started but I see you're not interested in educating yourself about the subject.

I mean, again, you think capitalism mean limited state intervention. It does not. By definition.

I'll let you in you own world with your own words and custom definitions !
