Well the example I gave was literally during the time of feudalism so in that society you didn’t. I’m a social sciencentist but I don’t have all the answers as, like you pointed out, bad actors are typically a minority which hijackes the society they are in. I don’t think we need to know everything to make a better world, we should start with what we can. If you or I ever find a definitive answer I hope we share that with everyone we can.

loonsun@sh.itjust.worksto Memes of Production@quokk.au•it's a matter of motivationEnglish4·1 day agoYeah it would, it just wouldn’t look the same. Looking to pre-capitalist societies you find people still making and selling things. Are they doing it for money? Yes and no. An Ale house for example was literally just Ale being sold out of a person’s house and that person would change on a rotation as it was made and sold by different people. This was for like a community service than a profit based business venture.

If I had Alfred in my life, I too would consider him my closest loved one

loonsun@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What language do you guys speak?1·22 days agoEnglish (Native), French (B1-B2 depending on the day), and just started trying to learn Ukrainian
loonsun@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What language do you guys speak?2·22 days agoYeah, it’s honestly a lot easier to read colloquial romance language writing than it is to listen to it. Here in Québec as an anglo québécois I always still struggle with my listening comprehension regardless of if its within my spoken or reading level, accents and speeds are always a pain. I know this is doubly bad for Spanish which can be spoken insanely fast.

loonsun@sh.itjust.worksto Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Falling for CIA propaganda in 2026 is a skill issue 😬English42·29 days agoYou should really go outside or read something that isn’t political theory or econ as you really don’t have much of an understanding of how your fellow man actually functions. Insulting people who are trying to provide you with different perspectives on how you see an issue is not going to improve yourself or the working class movement. Lead with empathy, I wish you the best.

loonsun@sh.itjust.worksto Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Falling for CIA propaganda in 2026 is a skill issue 😬English112·30 days agoYeah, as a research psychologist, I always cringe so hard hearing things like this. There isn’t something special about how white people from regions we lable as “the west” express bigotry. Literally, ever human is capable of creating ingroup outgroup differentiations as illustrated from social identity theory and those can be strongly or weakly oriented towars dominance (i.e. social dominance orientation). I’ve never seen meta analytic evidence showing any subset of the human population to be significantly more prone to social dominance. The thing that makes it so brown people are viewed negatively by “westerners” is the long history of racism pushed by the ruling class to justify atrocities for profit.
Don’t be campist people, work in solidarity with each other and support your fellow man.
loonsun@sh.itjust.workstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•dog people are totally delusionalEnglish101·1 month agoWe analyze a 5-Mb genomic region on chromosome 6 previously found to be under positive selection in domestic dog breeds. Deletion of this region in humans is linked to Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), a multisystem congenital disorder characterized by hypersocial behavior. We associate quantitative data on behavioral phenotypes symptomatic of WBS in humans with structural changes in the WBS locus in dogs. We find that hypersociability, a central feature of WBS, is also a core element of domestication that distinguishes dogs from wolves.
Uhh buddy I said I didn’t know because I was being humble and not trying to act like I have 100% answers to everything when I’m just commenting to a post on my phone. We can easily look towards work around self determination theory if you want motivation, but I think you more meant organizational structures and incentive structures or maybe trying to identify and handle potential bad actors through dark tetrad personality assessment. I actually do research in these areas and the evidence isn’t some nebulous idea, I just don’t have the time to collect and present to you the work on a topic like this. Go read some science, there is a lot of good stuff out there if you want to learn.
