With that attitude towards cyclists you probably shouldn’t drive because you’d be making the road unsafe for a mode of transportation that is healthier and more space and energy efficient than a car.

‘A system that counteracts those selfish tendencies’ you mean a system in which:

  • housing is not controlled by companies with no moral incentive to keep them liveable and affordable?
  • people don’t learn from a young age that their value is directly connected to their willingness to fuck people over for money?
  • there is no monetary incentive to create artificial deficits in essential goods like housing and food?
  • the whole economy is not based on ‘cheap labour’ and the illegal extraction of minerals from other countries?

The surplus value created by the workers should go to those workers. However in reality, most of the value created by the workers is going to capitalists that did not contribute to the making of the product, which communists consider theft.

They get angry because even when they try to mask their racism it still clearly shows.

Wanting to ban mosques, the quran and muslim clothing like niqabs sounds pretty fascist to me (that’s what the biggest political party in The Netherlands wants). Thinking the European far right (that is rapidly gaining grounds) isn’t fascist or fascist leaning is a wild take.

Mathematics breaks sometimes when a sentence refers to itself (because it can create contradicting paradoxes). That’s why such sentences are not allowed in formal mathematics.

This example isn’t really a contradicting paradox yet though, none of the answers are correct hence the question is unanswerable (a logical possibility for an arbitrary question). Other commenters correctly pointed out that this setup would be more interesting if 0% would be one of the given possibilities, because then the question is no longer logically unanswerable hence it would be a contradicting paradox (assuming the question is unanswerable implies a possible answer and assuming that a specific one of the answers is correct implies that it’s not correct)

Middle class people often think that they’re barely getting by but forget that they live larger and more luxurious than necessary.

Maybe start by not referring to them as ‘females’ or talking about ‘luring’ them to your room

Becoming a communist has greatly improved my mental health because I’m no longer constantly disappointed by liberal politics. Now I put my motivation into helping my org grow which feels very fulfilling.

What an adorable bottle of death

The rules are intentionally vague and information is intentionally not easily available. Additionally, many workers are not in a position to claim their rights because they are living paycheck to paycheck and legal processes are expensive and last very long.
