There can be more than one problem.

That’s not what you’ve been saying until now.

A coup still inherently relies on there being internal forces willing to execute said coup.

No shit, what are you trying to say? Are you saying there exists political systems which are immune to people wanting to stage a coup?

I don’t dare say being capitalist could have stopped this particular one, quite likely it couldn’t. But it it is at least more resilient in general.

How would it be more resilient?

If it was impossible to resist superpower sponsored coups, I am sure the Baltics wouldn’t be able to remain democratic right next to Russia.

What coup attempts are you talking about? Let’s try to focus on coups that were at least attempted or has any substantial evidence of being in the works.

The problem isn’t political systems, it’s superpowers intervening, e.g. america funding fascist coups of democratically elected socialists. It would be hard for any small nation, regardless of political system, to defend against a coup funded by a superpower. Please prove me wrong and tell me how e.g. the coup in Chile 1973 could have been prevented by decentralizing power.

In many of these cases, the political system which couldn’t withstand coups were democracies. Does this mean that democracy isn’t useful? Are you saying that democracies should forbid socialists from being elected since if they get elected then america will intervene and the democracy will cease to be useful? Sounds like you don’t care for democracy and self-determination of nations. Bonus points will be awarded for being able to make your point without a potion metaphor.

If false positives are frequent enough, police might not take the predictions of the system seriously.

No. The police are well known for using violence against non-violent black people. Imagine what they could do if they believed a black person was armed. I would say that this kid got really lucky.

Besides the racism problem, many false positives will lead to people not taking the system seriously (see: the boy who cried wolf) and even if they take every positive seriously, it would be a huge waste of resources to frequently send a bunch of cops to do nothing (in best case scenario, in worst case it’ll result in the death of an innocent person).

Made me think of the beginning of the movie Brazil.

How dare people not vote for someone who supports a genocide?

Damn, capitalism sure is great and is definitely working

Well said!

I suppose if their only source of considerable income was from snacks, then the comparison would make sense. Although it doesn’t make sense from a customer perspective where you’re paying more than 20 $/€ for a ticket (at least in Sweden)

The largest cinema corporation in Sweden (when asked about why they chose to restrict people from bringing their own snacks) infamously compared bringing snacks not bought at the cinema to brining your own food to a restaurant.

Valve gets a huge cut of all games sold on their platform. The least you could expect from them is to ensure the license to install and play a video game which you’ve bought from them won’t ruin your life.

I would expect tiktokers to be more ignorant about 4chan, but I see an impressing amount of people on Lemmy acting like 4chan is personally maintained and financed by Hitler.
