It's literally just someone else's computer! I find so many people believing it's some sort of ethereal space where data is arranged neatly by advanced druid magic or some shit -- solely because it's called "The cloud"

Disclaimer: he was most likely not actually masturbating in his final moments. A more probable explanation is that the hot pyroclastic flow from Mt. Vesuvius forcefully contracted his muscles, leaving him in that state.

Propped up by the global hardware distribution of capitalists, Linux (capitalist companies have made major contributions to linux, and still do), and the internet (distributed under a capitalist model)

The creator's ideology does not matter

So no alternative explanation? You should at least point me to some resources that say otherwise.

I fully acknowledge the wild ecological harm and rising inequality that capitalism has brought with it. However, even Marx had written about the system's capacity for the advancement of industrial technology and productivity.

Centrally planned economies like the ones of the USSR and similar 21st century socialist states do not work. They would never have enabled the vast distribution and rapid development of technology like we see today. Lemmy itself is a product of capitalism.

The technological advancements were in large part due to the large scale growth of industry under capitalism. Although lots of bloodshed and suffering was involved in the process, and without leftists fighting for reforms, we wouldn't be able to enjoy its fruits today.

The mass availability of the internet, and many other pillars of infrastructure are a result of capitalism. And these developments definitely have increased living standards for the majority of humans, even ones in third world nations (The popular image of a destitute country with rampant poverty is extremely rare these days.)

There's also a fried chicken stereotype for African Americans. I think it had some historic context too.

Racists are weird, never mind.

The content is higher-quality, more like a TV production. But it's still pretty solid. Good analogies and intuitive explanations.
