Up until the communism part I thought they were endorsing him.

I think that's just called stealing

It could just be a bug bite, but I'm hoping he punched a wall in anger over the Epstein files.

I maintain that a game that is not specifically a stealth game should have no stealth sections at all. They're always bad.

I think it's definitely necessary to accept people who did bad things if they truly change and realize the problems they've caused. That applies not just to people who hang out with Nazis but also actual Nazis. When you get out of a far right group, you basically lose all your friends at once and if there's nothing else to go back to, it will make people think twice before going that step even if they're ready for it.

Mmmm, yes, very wise.

I fully agree. Companies should belong to the people that allow I to turn a profit, and that is, well, every employee. The founders could still remain the CEOs if they do a good job and are elected to do so.

The foot for your distraught friend/partner in prison is cold, damn I like these old ad campaigns.

So progressives must decide whether they hide from the term, enabling the fearmongering, or openly embracing it to show there is nothing wrong with it.

I've been wondering, what if they just ran in the opposite direction? Don't call it "state-owned industry" or "collective ownership", but instead "Hypercapitalism: every citizen is a shareholder!"

Exactly, the wording is extremely important when talking about policies. People like "helping the poor", but people hate "welfare", because that's communism or something.

I didn't, but I'd have looked up some basic information about a country I'm dealing with in an official capacity if I was the PRESIDENT OF THE US.
