If I set my standards higher I would definitely not be on lemmy. As shit as reddits leadership is and the amount of ads, and all the other problems, the content is much better than here.

Like no comparison. Even soccer, a sport with a billion fans, doesn't have a decent community here. Let alone formula1, woodworking, chess and a number of other hobbies. Thank God I like Linux, at least that is active. But not even a ThinkPad community, and I'm sure half of the people here are on thinkpads...

    People didn't want to work 6 days a week. People didn't want to work 12h a day. People didn't want to see their kids work at 5 years old.

    They didn't post on Facebook, they unionized and fought for their rights. Crazy idea, huh?

    Less than 10% of people work in factories (if we are talking about 2026 developed countries). It's not 1880 England anymore.

    EDIT: less than 10% work in factories, less than 20% if we count the entire secondary sector.

    Can you blame them? The only way of getting to state-level communism has historically been hardcore autocracy, so I kinda understand them.

    And the people belonging to "the party" get to enjoy lavish lifestyles, while the rest suffers and dreams about escaping/emigrating. The don't want to empower "workers", it's just a polifitcal slogan to get themselves into power.
