I think it's more suitable to think of them as poles

Rather than heading right/left

depends on what you mean political example? I think the fact we have a bunch of candidates that are not just exact copies of their supposed parties, and outliers who just sometimes end up on the ballot as a random party that they don't fit nicely into as proof enough that the democrats are republican split is just a 2d cross section of 3d space

which creates, as you have accurately pointed out, a false dichotomy.

it has removed an entire axis

haha

I won't daddy.

Everything goes into separate lines.

Every issue can be condensed to a yes and a no with caveats between

it often takes awhile to draw that specific end

in math, to find the volume of an object, you take basically a near infinite number of 2D cross sections along one axis and basically add up all their areas. If you look at the swinging pendulum's path, it might look like it is following a sin wave oscillation at any given point along the axis of time. However, if you actually add up all these cross sections of time, it will fill the whole graph.

lol

youtube has competitors, but nobody knows about them, because everyone is hanging out on youtube.
i think youtube screwing up is a good thing, because the competitors needs some traffic, and people could use some more options.
to complain about youtube making people unable to speak is in my mind accepting their market dominance and wanting to maintain their dominance by keeping their policies acceptible.
why not just celebrate their failure and help boycott them?

That's what I've been wondering about, not the boycott, but why many want to get the government involved, declare them public utilities, instead of just use their failures to bolster the competition.

because they are dumb

why else

Can someone explain to me why workers unions get to charge people that are not members of the union? Where is the incentive for the union to represent the workers if they don‘t have to do their job and still get paid?

similar reason a doctor can't tell you how much an x-ray costs.

bullshit.

Well... i don‘t get charged for x-rays so i don‘t care - not american so i don‘t know what that reference means 😉

because the union gets to dictate terms, because they represent a collective of individuals.

IE like insurance companies

Hmm... but do they represent the individuals if they have no incentive to do that?

the reason Unions get to charge non-members

is cuz otherwise, you'd have people not sign up, but still benefit if the Union gets something positive for the workers

so you can't get freeloaders

but this way, yes its corruptable, cuz the union gets money no matter what

and they use that money for fancy things and campaign donations etc

Tim pool did talk about the union at one of the places he worked at.

Cant recall which but he di share those sentiments.

@GingaBomber yeah tim did a good job explaining the unions on vice were he used to work at

I believe this is the vid https://youtu.be/XVy5gCrm5UU

I thought sweden was far left when it came to unions but I had no idea that there are countries where non-union members have to pay.
As far as I know that is absolutely not the case in sweden

People that kind of brag that the union is unnecessary get a lot of critique from union members for freelancing, although half complain that they don't appreciate the past things the unions did, which imo is retarded because by that logic you must be a nazi if you use the autoban or like that it exists. Or think that the infrastructure in Germany is a good thing for trade or whatnot because the nazis got almost all of that started

unions are not bad, but they also have more power than they should

unions should not get to charge non-union members. If unions are necessary in any particular industry, people will join a union. if they have achieved their goal in balancing the power out, people will stop joining the union.

Why are unions necessary, and collective bargaining not enough?

I have only ever heard bad things about unions when people talk about when they were in a union

When I got an envelope telling me how I could sign up for the union at my work and read the cost I threw it in the trash.

well you would have to define what a union is.

if a group of people team up in a company, is that not a union? You have to be very careful to define what and what is not considered a union. Any group of people usually form a structure of leadership.
