@npub1kpw…xzz4 "I've heard as many on the left call for white genocide as those on the right calling for minority genocide"
this is where i got the number of people thing from.
I wouldn't say it's fair, that seems like a status quo bias to me because the orientation of someone's ideology/beliefs is in relation to the society in which they live. For instance, an ideologically extreme person in a monarchy pushing for representative democracy would be seen as extreme by the average person in a monarchy, but we'd see them as reasonable because the value system/ideological framework that is the default in liberal democracies in 2023 is in opposition of monarchy.
Also, what does "rational" mean to you? The word doesn't mean much to me, it's just kind of a mapping between a value system and outcomes. If someone's left-wing they have a certain value system/desired outcomes and whether or not their behaviors/thoughts are rational would be to what extent they adhere to their value system or get them closer to their goals. Same with someone on the right even though what's rational would be very different for both of them.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 I don't really think that "collective ownership and control" over work places is that complicated of an idea, if anything trying to claim it's about tax rate makes it more complicated. Also, as to whether it could work... we would disagree on that.
I guess it's fortunate that there are enlightened centrists who aren't blinded by ideology to give us all the TRUE perspective on things.
Also, the one thing you claim is that as many people on the left are calling for white genocide as minority genocide on the right which seems completely bonkers to me. The right is very racially white as a group while the left has other concerns than just racially inequality; like gender equality, lgbtq rights. A lot of women and queer people are white, so it feels like it would be very bad to try to genocide yourself/your supporters x3

@npub1kpw…xzz4 As someone on the far-left, I don't know that I've ever really seen someone earnestly call for while genocide. I'm sure you can find people voicing those perspectives, say on social media, but I've never seen any left-wing person or platform that has actual influence/reach call for anything of that sort. If you look at the right though, there's actual mainstream rhetoric/policy positions that are very anti-minority, that encourage violence people of color, etc.
Oh also, Communism isn't 100% tax rate. It's a change in the organization of the way companies work. In theory, communists want democratic control and participation in the workplace. There are different communist ideologies and the people who adhere to them vehemently disagree about how communist society should be achieved/operate and kinda hate each other, but none of them would say that it's about taxation.

I'm trying to get into functional programming and am looking for audio resources that are interesting/helpful to listen to while driving/doing other things. I would prefer something that talks about functional programming in general and the concepts or that is haskell-oriented, but i'm open to all resources. Thank you!
