  • There is no or a very small impact of regulation on the number of exiled people coming in country. However, making more people illegal let bosses exploit them more. Those workers could not sue their boss because of those regulations, and most conservative unions rely unfortunately too much on legal solutions.

    So if a country couldn’t limit immigrations, it could exploit more people and bybass human right with regulations against exiled people.

    Yes, this is only positive for far-right bosses, and awful for others. But guess who decide in a capitalist economy ?





  • There is some counter example. France have free tuition and a very WTA election system. But this educational system has been kept thanks to the many struggle of workers through their Unions.

    However I think this voting system may have some impact on other field, like the jail system; which is is awful. I mean no jail is not, but the state of France is regularly sanctioned because its break humain rights



  • There is many homeless women; unfortunately because of threat of rape and harassment (somehow underlined here), lots of them have to not look homeless. They have to buy fine clothes, and makeup. If you think that people “just have to prostitute lol”, you have to ask why you don’t. There is a fucking lot of violence against sex workers. Usually people that could prostitute have coworkers to rely on, or are forced to work for a boss (or a pimp, that the same thing). If the first case is the most common in most of countries, it’s not available for people with few social connections; which is usually the main reason of homelessness

    I think we should not confuse the authority based on oppression, and those based on expertise. However the last one could be justified in front of the community (like the Union), so I would use the word “hierarchical”; the trust we gave in those people is freely agreed between equals.

    A lot of website use so much ressources, I couldn’t visit its with my 5 years old laptop or my “smart” phone. The only way to access their services is with apps. Fortunately, I could choose FOSS apps on F-Droids

    However, loading textual information shall not consume all my RAM and most of my CPU. There is an issue with today web



    • Short term interest: Yearly benefits make the corporation value. Work to enhance stability, such as investment in other open source project, documentation, formation, or code quality enhancement are less likely to qet time
    • Commercial focus: In a capitalist economy, we don’t have pure and perfect knowledge of product. Even if it’s supposed to work like this, commercials and adds are way more effective to sell products, than a top notch product
    • Antagonist interests: even if workers tend to like making good stuff, they’d rather eat and get housed. Sending a warning because the products are bad or dangerous can threat someone that made a bad decision, which is likely to be someone in charge. Keeping a low profile is (unfortunately) a reasonable behavior

    I think that an economy lead by financial interest, open market, and a hierarchy in the production is a good definition of capitalism.

    And yes, definitely the way that people get food, housing, and not being exclude will define a lot of thing in society.




  • Central Unions and big political organizations have cancelled the common meeting planned for this week, because “the far-right didn’t pass” This the 3rd time they almost did, I don’t know how many warning shot they need.

    I’m sick of the blindness of the left management. We seriously need more people in grass roots organization.





  • In any demonstration, you have to make some unproven statement, taken as true. It could be “1+1 = 2” or “God exists”. So sciences are methodologies based on believes. Lot of religions use logic and reasons, based on science and philosophy, to deduce things from their core believes. This is theology.

    So if both science and religions are based on believes, and could have the same methods, how to distinguish one of the other ? We could argue that science try to reduce believes as possible. Personally I’m not good enough in sciences to argue with religious people, and demonstrate that point. In trying to challenge my believes in scientific models, I have to stay tolerant with religious people (I’m not sure I would otherwise); which is a most productive approach. Furthermore, it helps to have a critical point on view on science (as you’ve said, and to taking it as a blind faith)


  • How do you know that science is not a believe like the other ? My answer is in challenge it with other believe systems to explain reality. Of course some things make a lot more sense with science methodology, but to be faire, te main point of religions is not to explain gravity.

    I consider other believes as opportunities, no to explain to others, or to be taught by others, but making both and strengthen us all.

    However, we shall to care do not confuse religions and believes. A lot of people took part in religions and do not believes, and others believes and do not took part in a dedicated community. This is a different topic. Communities are generally a good thing, but hierarchy lead to abuses. This true in every organization, religions include
