No, it’s pretty objectively shit. But i cant blame him for being a product of his time.

Here you go, found the study that measured the content of western pop over the past 50 years: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep00521

It’s even worse now.

Could also be the fact that green day makes halfway decent music on occasion. Bad Bunny sounds exactly like everything that i hate about new pop. The vocals sound pitch corrected, together with the projection of “i don’t even wanna be here”-muted nasally fronted singing.

There are plenty of hunters that have them in Sweden. In fact when they tried to ban the AR-15, there was serious backlash from the association of Swedish hunters. I think it mainly affected the right wing party in government as they were imposing the ban on their constituents.

The ban was discussed after the mass shooting in Örebro 2025, where the shooter used an AR-15.

I dont really know where i stand on the issue anymore. Since you need to be a licensed hunter and register the gun, most precautions are met. i don’t really see a difference between one semi-automatic rifle and another either. I guess i don’t think they should be banned in sweden, as it would appear that we were able to have them for decades without incidents. Given that the rules are in place and registration is mandatory.

I can tell that you don’t understand. Thats why i called you dumb on purpose, as i don’t see how you could misunderstand.

You need guns at a protest to stifle the counter protestors that also have guns. There you go.

No…? I guess you’re dumb on purpose here. So i’ll leave it here.

Opposition to counter protests

Funny. This kind of counter protest suggestion usually gets downvoted on Lemmy. Good change.

Settlers landed in the Americas guided by God. Totally different.

Like I said. Religious nutcase.

“Denmark can’t claim land, just because their boat landed there 500 years ago”

I… I…but you… how…?

He argues like a religious person.

capitalism is when a small amount of people own the means of production.

Wrong. That would be oligarchy. But i can tell that you are confused since you present UBI as capitalism without even realizing it.

Why the hell do you immediately think of slavery? You don’t force people to do anything. If you need work done, you pay people to do it. Obviously.

So just capitalism then. But with extra steps.

And since workers have a guaranteed income to fall back upon, employers have no choice but to pay a fair wage. That’s the entire point.

No…? The ones that work to produce would control the supply and the prices would reflect it. Kind of like that other system that starts with c.

Seriously, if you want to understand UBI, there are whole studies available online for your reading pleasure. There are dozens of books on the subject.

I’ve read plenty of articles about it, not sold on it. Was curious if anyone had any way to sell it. You just present it as capitalism, which i suppose is one way to do it. Though I would argue that people would stop doing necessary jobs, since they no longer need to work.

I’m all for testing 6 hour work days.

But the fantasy of universal income is too farfetched. Who will produce the food? Are we to collectively agree that we take turns on producing the food? I sure as hell don’t want that, and there lies the core issue. How do you force people to do things that they don’t want to do?

Lol, these downvotes. Explain the system instead. How do you propose to force people?

Uhm. Most animals live by the grace of chance and circumstance. Barely getting enough to sustain life.

I think I understand what you’re trying to say, but you can’t seriously think that pre-industrial age people were sitting around and doing nothing? Post-industrial age came with an explosion of people to match the new amount of resources. If we don’t produce the resources then people die.

Do you want a simpler life or an easier life? Those are two very different things.

Nonsense. They are cowards that doesn’t trade their lifes for a paycheck. In the us you are legally allowed to have your firearm at a protest. Start using them.

Much better that the government has the guns?

I think you’ll find that it’s a whole lot easier to find people willing to kill for a paycheck, rather than dying for one.

Meaning of course, bring guns to protests to show that you have them. Those chicken shits wont start shooting if they are at risk of dying themselves.

Yup. That definitely happened.

Hear, fucking hear.

That, or when a horse girl says she’s in pain. There is never any unfounded whinge from horse girl.

Legitimately can’t tell if you’re joking or if you are this much of a douche.

If you’re actually asking, no. You got corrected and you learned something. Take that for what you will.
