A lot of people will speculate and exaggerate and blow little things out of proportion. I don’t like Lemmy.world because they are Anticommunist as a policy. That’s about it.

They’re (albeit Liberal) Zionists, they prosecute stuff like “Uyghur genocide denial” that is like 5-year-old propaganda that should be able to be dismissed with the benefit of hindsight.

Leftist instances have the forthrightness to just say “If you’re a reactionary we’ll ban you”, but Liberals - like the Lemmy.world admins and moderators - have to hide behind a smokescreen of Socialists breaking technical rules - when, say, a Zionist denying the Palestinian genocide wouldn’t get the same reaction.

And when it comes to actual material productive industries, I always say we have two: killing people and burning oil.

Automobiles? Burning oil

Aviation? Mostly military planes, so both

Polymers and petrochemicals? Burning oil

Weapons manufacturing? Killing people

Construction? Ultimately, since the roads and bridges are all car-focused, burning oil.

Steel? Seems good at first, but it’s ultimately going to be turned into a car (burning oil) or a weapon (killing people).

The cherry on top is that, because of climate change, all of the “burning oil” bits are also secretly killing people.

One of these things is not like the others
