  • I run commands as the root user so I use the root users configs. Usually that’s in /root/.config/ but it might be different in NixOS.

    You’ll have to either copy your configs over to the root users config dirs. I highly recommend auditing what you copy though for security.



  • One could argue that profit is waste.

    Its not, its profit. Dividends to share holders are interest payments on vital loans which co-ops don’t have access too. Those early investments provide more of an edge than not having to pay them. Otherwise firms wouldn’t bother with investors at all.

    You could say excessive c-suite salaries are a waste. But those high salaries gets you the absolute psychos who will squeeze more excess value from the workers than any co-op could. Co-op workers wont be as greedy with wages or benefits, but they will absolutely look to cut their workload and get more free time (actual freedom).

    Part of being a Marxist is accepting that the capitalist theory of profit motive applying to everyone is true. Its not universally true to everyone in every instance. And its certainly not a moral imperative like capitalist ghouls believe. But when we’re talking about statistics and large populations it absolutely does hold.









  • Separately, the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group “took a shot” at the Truman on Tuesday, four of the people said, despite President Donald Trump announcing an apparent ceasefire with the group hours earlier. It is not clear whether the two incidents are related.

    Emphasis mine. Every time they loose a jet in the Red Sea, its always around the same time Ansarallah is taking shots at a carrier.

    The take I’ve been seeing more lately is that many on the left don’t internally support genocide, they’re just afraid of AIPAC money taking away their ability to do any good.

    This is true but I don’t know how much. There’s some democrats explicitly and correctly calling out AIPAC as being an a far right PAC. Taking money from AIPAC needs to be seen as treacherous as taking money from NRA or the Heritage foundation.

    But at the ballot box come election day, I don’t care if the dem wants to sacrifice puppies on weekends

    Every time a democrat talks like this they lose votes. “Yeah my candidate supports genocide, but-” stop you’ve just smeared your own candidate. If you don’t have anything nice about your candidate then keep your mouth shut.

    Any normal american will see the rest of your comment and think they’re better off investing in bullets and silver than worrying about the election. You’re basically doing voter surppression.



  • The problem is that there are plenty of voters who hate the pony!

    Yeah those are the centrist republicans who voted Trump anyways. Again, empirically proven failure.

    When the Dems put Harris in, it was a concession to the progressives. They got a Black woman from a state with a long Left tradition.

    Honestly wtf are you thinking here? She wasn’t left wing at all and being black or californian doesn’t magically make her progressive. You’re literally citing a fake sterotype as a subsititue for real policy.

    Obama had a super majority in both Houses and the ACA barely squeaked through.

    HE GOT THAT SUPERMAJORITY BY RUNNING ON HEALTH CARE REFORM!

    We got a supermajority by promising the pony! “Hope and Change”. Sell the fucking pony again. Promise a different pony when you fail to deliver! Jesus Christ you just insist on keeping your head in the sand. You’re just insistent on laying down and dying.
