Read the short story : the approach to al-mutasim By Jorge L. Borges: https://ia601405.us.archive.org/10/items/HeliganSecretsOfTheLostGardens/BorgesJorgeLuis-TheApproachToAl-mutasim.pdf#:~:text=The%20Approach%20to%20Al-Mu'tasim%20Philip%20Guedalla%20writes%20that

If you like it, and like shorts stories, Borges will also become your favorite author. A good start is :

A Universal History of Infamy: A Universal History of Infamy Giving some more or less accurate retelling of the life of evil people like Billy the kid.

You're right people will never ride a horse instead of their car. (Plus it seems horses would be worse for the environment) But the 2k people who own 50% (?) of world wealth have more say on how the resources are used than the 99.99% of other people. And like them those 2k don't want to ride horses. On the contrary they want to use all the resources for their own benefit. So getting ride of them could allow to implement some sustainable practice they are fighting against.

But it is a joke in the end: Having 2k oligarchs run over by a trolley wont save the planet. What need to be run over is the system that allow 2k people control the fate of all the others through greed.

I find somehow telling that US got a black president before it get (if it even go there) a woman president

x is not open to non x users! So it is a no no

Plus using the competing platform bandwith is the better form of warfare anyway

Being on the wrong side of history on the same topic 75 year apart

I didnt know about that. This is a bit scary to be honest, and the first time I feel a bit taken aback with lemmy

The worst part, is even when you try to avoid, you cant.

You send an email from proton, to mostly gmail account, now they have your email.

You mean your business, the guy next to you talk to google home, and you get recorded.

Every time I 'm forced to use a google account by some 3rd party, I get a panic attack from how predatory it is to get you to give them your data, you cant log out without 4 clic, it is a true dystopia we let that compagny rule our world

And I dont get why Avatar from Cameron was not sued.

in 1979 Herbert and Ranson wrote "The Jesus Incident ":

A planet named Pandora habited by violent various beasts

The human survive in a Colony and cant barrely go out, because of the wild life.

The whole planet is covered by an entity protecting the planet it is named: AVATA. who comunicate with blinking light.

There is a scene, where one of the main human run around the human camp folded by many monster.

To survive on the planet, the human created special Clone with better reflex.

The Clone were badly treated and rebelled against the Colony

And Arrival by Villeneuve (or the book it pretend to be from) Is bit for bit from the novella :"Try to remember" From Herbert.

Aliens try to communicate to humanity.

Some woman manage to do understand their language.

But some military try to smugle a bomb in the alien ship.

Like every meeting should have been an email, every youtube video should have been a blog post
