The Instant Pot Failed Because It Was a Good Product

  • When everyone already has one, no one needs to buy it anymore

    •
    There are too many of these people on lemmy

  • While people come up with post-hoc justifications for Wars all the time that relates to philosophical ideas, most of the time it is originally waged purly for economic reasons.

    The French monarchy and the Russian Tsars were failing to feed their people so those people fought back. The philosophical ideas that the preceding leaders had about how to better distribute the food after the fact is another discussion, but make no mistake, the war was waged simply to get people fed by any means. There was by no means a uniformity of of thought among revolutionaries, but the victor writes history and creates a new myth to establish the following Society upon.

    Something something material conditions.

    Changing interests [Haus of Decline]

  • Why not both

    "Genocide is good if an Anti-Imperialist Country(tm) is doing it!"

  • Kindly inform me of the non-genocide vote that is more effectual than throwing my vote away in the United States.

    Palestine will be gone long before third party is elected in America, or the revolution happens. An optimist would hope that the genocide in Gaza would initiate mass resistance in america, but a realist knows that it won't happen in time to stop the Israeli march on Gaza.

    In the meantime I'm putting my bets on the somewhat-less-genocide guy while continuing to advocate for third parties and the revolution and sending support however I can, personally.

    We live in a broken system that forces you to vote for politicians who believe things that you don't believe in, this is the reality of American politics.

    Pro tip; you can continue to protest and advocate AND vote for the lesser of two evils. We don't live in a vacuum we're voting for Joe Biden suddenly renders you his full political supporter. Voting is a tool not a declaration of fealty.

    You can acknowledge that we are stuck between a rock and a hard place without defaulting to doing what amounts to nothing and complaining that others won't do nothing in protest with you.

    This is also ignoring the fact that there are real consequences for the outcome of the election for those who live in the United States itself.

    Not every person has the privilege to care about the outcomes of the US election internationally when they are struggling to survive under the current leadership.

    Would you tell these people to vote for the politician that changes nothing or the politician that makes things worse?

    I wish politics was so simple as " politician supports bad thing and we all stopped voting for him ". It is unfortunately not.
