see, this is the problem - I've avoided thinking about politics forever, and now I'm not sure about the main concepts 😂

I've always equated high taxes with socialism - so long as those taxes go towards services and redistribution of wealth.

OK - so what *is *socialism? (the main tenets)

very interesting points!

I've just started a non-profit (to try to reduce/undermine surveillance capitalism) - and we'll probably build software along the way. That is entrepreneurship, but not profit focused. However, we would need to be funded and paid to make it work.

How should I frame this in your way of thinking?

ah... bugger. That's the link I used. I'll see if I can find another from the person who posted it.

 

I thought people here might like to join this if you want to see what other privacy folk are talking about. I think it originated on Nostr.

 

I've been worried about this since Google switched to it in Feb this year.

Apparently the short answer is "you can't". Which is terrifying. Surely some clever peeps out there can find a way round it (for normies)?

For Hitler and Nazi Germany it certainly was a way to prepare for expansionist wars: https://www.richardjevans.com/lectures/autarky-fantasy-reality/

I was just in Denmark recently and it seems like that's what they have: a capitalist society but regulated by very socialist policies like (really) high taxes. Makes sense to me - I'm probably just not using the right terminology.

Naomi Klein's book 'Doppelganger' is good on this topic...

Website building

 

Hi there fediverse people!

I'm starting a non-profit to help people get away from big tech and use alternatives. Besides providing info via a website we'll put on events, and we're also planning to start a certification service so companies can prove they don't support the surveillance business model.

Does anyone know of any grant funding, either UK or EU, that might help with this?

I've joined Lemmy.ml. Someone sent me a link to a video posted on Feddit.nl - I thought I could log in and upvote/comment using my Lemmy.ml credentials. Wrong!

Why is this? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm relatively new to the fediverse. But I thought that they were all federated so you can interact with all instances??!
