It may not have the same ring to it but if you think about it for more than two seconds you may realize that it has the same meaning :-)

Lol so you are denigrating companies that don’t take VC funding? I imagine you’d have criticisms for companies which are VC-funded.

My company is bootstrapped which means we are forced to grow in a sustainable way, we listen to our customers and optimize the product for their experience, and we don’t have to listen to any investors.

I’m very curious why “bootstrap” would be any sort of dogwhistle.

Interesting, my experience has been quite different but then it has been more with executives of relatively small (<500) and private companies. I’ve also seen some cases of companies closer to dictatorships, but they have (at least from my external perspective) seemed like dictators with at least clear visions. A small minority have been loudmouthed assholes.

Have you worked with very many CEOs at SMEs? Based on my experience it seems to match the description, by and large.

Alright friend, OP certainly never implied “giving government ubiquitous control over the food supply” by any means, so at least this is clearly a simple case of strawman fallacy.

edit: like if you think about it for literally more than two seconds, you’ll realize that OP’s idea involved building capacity amongst the general population for horticulture, something which fundamentally opposes the idea of giving government ubiquitous control.

Is there a name for the fallacy that something is doomed to fail just because some quasi-communist state tried to implement something similar at some point?

You seem to be assuming that this idea would have to solve all food consumed by everyone. No one is making that assumption except for you.

Only available for children in the summer… I don’t think this isn’t the solution being proposed.

Ah yes, how can we forget that this is Canada’s 200th anniversary, after the signing of the confederation in 1825. Sounds like you’ve definitely got your facts straight…

Do you mean something like this, which took less than 5s of searching to find? https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/joe-biden-denies-mulling-term-pledge-elected-president/story?id=67662497

Sir, you are bringing logic to a Lemmy thread where only emotion matters. It doesn’t seem to be going well for you frankly.

Tbh your second paragraph being longer and starting with “In general I don’t agree with the Rogan hate” makes it sound very much NOT like a caveat but rather the main point of your comment.

Now this “we-found-an-enemy flag” defense you’ve brought up is just… weird. Someone disagrees with a falacious point that you tried to make, and so you accuse them of being reductionistic and making ad hominem attacks. That’s just not what happened dude. If you want to argue your point, do it, but as a matter of fact you clearly indicated that you’re okay with what little push back he does give, whereas you did not make it clear that you think him being easily misled is a bad thing.

I don’t mean for this to sound rude, but I think that you should work better on articulating the points you’re trying to make, and taking it less personally/antagonistically when someone disagrees with you.

Wow, it’s amazing g that you and your friends are a globally representative sample of millenials, despite all going to the same university. I wonder what would happen if different people have different life circumstances? Well, good thing we don’t need to worry about that since you and your friends are doing okay.

Thompson didn’t travel with any personal security detail despite known threats against him, officials said.

Sorry to say, but this is a very colonial mindset, so much so that you did not bother to look up their treaty. As it happens, Canada has a specific obligation under Treaty 6 to provide agricultural support/development, which they have failed to do and thus have offered a settlement to the Lac La Rouge Indian Band.

You should also acknowledge that centuries of oppression, genocide, and environmental exploitation are also violations of the treaty signed by the Crown, and failures to hold up the Crown’s promise to prevent pestilence and famine… you know, like scurvy.

Please educate yourself before speaking up on matters of First Nations and treaties and propagating misinformation.
