Storage-wise they're there, but they never run or take up memory? Is this correct?

I personally don't fully agree. Libertarianism just doesn't work at all. It is not even a complete system from a logical sense. It falls apart when faced with basic scrutiny, or they just theorize a system that's basically the same as a central government but with a private entity name stamped on it.

It is an ideology stemming from a basic principle, but they sadly don't seem to think of the entire system as a whole.

Government is only part of the problem. When they fail to see the ruling class behind it, they don't get too far.

This is false, even by the CIA's own admission:

You must be speaking about the USSR's early period, transitioning from a rural backwater into an industrial power house. They experienced a famine then (and unfortunately it was the routine even before communism), but once they completed collectivication, there no longer were any. In other words, communism ended the pattern of famines in Russia and Ukraine.

I see it as the fact that we already has more than double the capacity to feed everyone, yet we still choose not to.

This is how we will likely end up paying for services AND STILL having our data sold. It's just the nature of capitalism. Businesses have to grow, and in today's world selling data is always the natural progression towards it.

A parallel example is streaming services starting out as "tv but no ads and on demand!" or "just pay for the service and you won't see ads!" but now we are paying and there's still ads.

Businesses like this always end up veering towards changing privacy policies to the worse.

And depending on your threat model, not even a good privacy policy is enough.

You made good money because of guilt tripping people into tipping 20% instead of demanding your employer pays you, and crying on social media about how waiters make almost nothing.

The entire reason people tip is out of sympathy, and restaurant workers really weaponized that. Instead of having trouble with your employer not paying you, you joined forces with them.

For the record I tip reasonably, but I find it crazy that restaurant workers do this.

I posted a bunch in this community before it surged in June / July. I still comment moderately here, and read comment threads moderately.

Overall I'm not super active. I would just watch my regular feed and comment threads like I currently do, and if I see something uncivil, I'll intervene. So if I am chosen, it would be ideal to have other mods as well, as I may not be enough on my own.

You called the thing I criticized "one of the biggest advantages".
