Since your Australia section is lacking, here’s a couple:

transport > transit

ute > pickup truck

bogan > redneck

metro > subway

cyclone > hurricane

Yeah. If they call the current state of China with literal billionaires, communist, then they aren’t communist in any economically defined sense of the world

Idk, I just stole a low quality shitpost I saw somewhere and thought it would be great for this “conservative” community which is basically a shitpost community.

Cloud? If you automatically have everything cloud hosted it could work okay.

Fireworks should be something only done in public spaces for public festivals and stuff. Or perhaps on privatly owned rural isolated land.

It’s ridiculous people can just do noise pollution in the middle of cities. My mother has a neurological disease that can be worsened by acute noise. It always takes her weeks to recover after fireworks, even with earplugs and noise cancelling headphones.

Not really at all. Look up anarchism on wikipedia. This is the first paragraph:

Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that seeks to abolish all institutions that perpetuate authority, coercion, or hierarchy, primarily targeting the state and capitalism.[1] Anarchism advocates for the replacement of the state with stateless societies and voluntary free associations. A historically left-wing movement, anarchism is usually described as the libertarian wing of the socialist movement (libertarian socialism).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism

“Anarcho-Capitalism” is a rather recent name for a sort of ideology that most anarchists would instead call “stateless capitalism”

If it means anything, I started my journey on lemmy as an armchair socialist who in practice was more a welfare capitalism type person. Now I’m a full on anarchist (anti-capitalist). So a steady stream of influence, especially when people make good points and it helps make sense of my suffering, has shifted my political views strongly.

(But the basis for that shift was already kind of laid out, I’ve been fascinated by anarchist critiques for a while, and one of my favourite political authors was one. But the sort of being in a community of likeminded people [lemmy] and having significant suffering at the hands of the current system that made me more strongly shift towards those views).

On the other hand. Simply having a few conversations with my vaguely left wing partner about my views has led her to go from vaguely social democrat to anarchist.

I think the lesson is change is possible, it’s just a slow series of events that add up. Usually there isn’t one thing that straight up switches a person.

As a long COVID advocate, we’ve tried and tried sharing our stories and all we get is ridicule and “why didn’t you try acupuncture and exercise”. So we’re starting to focus more on the economic impacts as the average person seems to actually care about that.

Long COVID is costing countries billions of dollars in lost productivity and increased health and social welfare costs, economists say.

Five years on from the start of the COVID-19 crisis, millions of people are struggling with debilitating health problems that have decimated their lives and livelihoods.

The first cases of long COVID were reported in May 2020.

The OECD, a club of mostly rich nations, estimates long COVID could be costing its 38 members $864 billion to $1.04 trillion annually due to reductions in quality of life and labour force participation. This does not include the extra burden on health services.

Anarchist communes tend to be collectivist, (anarcho-communist).

Ukraine Free Territory, Rojava, etc.

The body of a disabled man was found in his flat in distressing, squalid conditions, just weeks after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) wrongly removed his disability benefits because he had failed to return a claim form.

His sister, his only surviving close relative, believes he may have been left without enough credit on his phone to call for help, while he had not had enough money to fix his broken mobility scooter.

Susan believes the wrongful removal of his personal independence payment (PIP) played a significant part in his death.

She told Disability News Service (DNS): “He was already on the breadline, so I think it would have been devastating for him.”

She also believes DWP failed to make the necessary safeguarding checks before removing his PIP.

She has now warned that the death of her much-loved brother must act as a warning of the horrors to come if the government goes ahead with its planned £4.5 billion cuts to PIP.

The termination follows other steps that appear to target and erase federal responses to the Long COVID crisis.

This news, also reported by POLITICO and the Substack Inside Medicine, represents another blow among several moves this administration has taken to diminish federal resources for studying and supporting people with Long COVID.
