One week old account. 684 Comments. 383 Posts. That’s 152 posts/comments a day, 9 an hour, and most are over a paragraph long. Almost all of them focus controversially on third-party advocacy in the middle of an election year.

Not saying this account is a bot, but a person would certainly have to be spending a whole lot of time on lemmy to be posting this much in one week so it certainly feels spamish.

But you see that small socialist elite proclaims it’s doing it for the working class, therefore it’s okay now.

Don’t look at those prisons full of attempted trade unionists pls.

It’s called second campism, and it’s been happening for a long time, it just used to make more sense when it could actually seem like there was two hegemonic camps during the cold war (still an oversimplistic view).

Now they just support any regime that’s anti-US/the original capitalist camp because they have no hegemonic camp of their own to support, just a broad smattering of authoritarian regimes with completely different ideologies.

Yup, I mean I’m pretty left, but the endless politics is probs bad for the platform in the long run. We need more “normie” and hobby communities if we’re gonna keep attracting new people.

Enough to know it’s bullshit.

Sure you can grab the one example in my argument that was actually functional and not fully symbolic, but my point still stands, humans build seemingly irrational things to grandstand, and the Pharoahs would’ve for sure done the same in their role as dictators.

I have my fucking doubts.

And I’m sure so has every serious academic who has studied the pyramids and all came to the conclusion that it was a tomb, and if you read their reasonings for that I’m sure you’d understand why they came to that conclusion.

Here’s an electrical engineer tearing apart the electrical pyramid conspiracy theory for it’s misunderstanding of basic electronics.

Honestly, why would they make three precise giant buildings for a tomb?

Same reason we would spend a stupid amount of money on the St. Louis Arch, Statue of Liberty, or Palace of Versaille, or any work of art? To create a lasting symbol of something and to symbolize status.

I’m sure you found that book very compelling, but any electrical engineer or historian with an understanding of that period’s technology could rip it apart.

Wtf? Pls say this is satire.
