@yogthos in a democracy someone gets elected. Without money for funding campaigns people still get elected. Are you telling me those elected people would never be corrupt because their campaigns weren't paid for by wealthy people? That the only reason we elect corrupt individuals is campaign funding? Corrupt people are attracted to positions of power, I don't believe for a second that eliminating the money rather than the position of power would eliminate corruption in government

@yogthos for them to be corrupt there has to be someone to bribe them? The people selling you out would otherwise be perfectly fine people without someone buying their influence?

We have a fundamental disagreement. I do not believe that the corrupt influence comes from money, I believe it comes from political power. I believe they would act out their corruption in other ways. Rather than take bribes they would just take by force. I believe history shows this to be true.

@yogthos OK, that's one take on it. I'm gonna go with Occam's razor on this one and say its because people in Chicago elected a bunch of corrupt pieces of shit, the flaws in the political system notwithstanding.

@georgia that's a woman thing u woman

@yogthos so the government funneling your money to a private entity is capitalism?

@connor fork the big browsers to support openNIC by default, this is what happens when you give a monopoly to one organization, non profit or otherwise. ICANN does not and should not have a monopoly on how people use the internet.

@fedilab@toot.fedilab.app I thought you put this to a vote and the response was a resounding "no"?

@fedilab@toot.fedilab.app I dont think you're going to be able to support all of hubzilla features without a complete app rewrite.

@glitcher32 lol probably from me. You should contribute.

@georgia @okl are you arguing for the sake of arguing? If you can't do it you can't do it, document or no.

@georgia @okl all things forbidden by physics are de facto forbidden

@georgia @okl it has to because execution of calculations cannot occur inside a black hole.
