And? Right now it’s basically what’s happening, except it also includes schools and infrastructure and hospitals. You’re saying they should just sit down and take it? The US has this problem with not understanding what a consequence is and it might be time they learned.

Do you think Iran cares? That girls school didn’t commit heinous crimes against Iranians but got obliterated all the same. The US has show quite clearly that it doesn’t matter, so why should their victims be held to a higher standard? Besides, the targets would be US tech which is a valid target.

That would involve actually doing something, and 90% of them are utterly useless.

What point are you trying to make? That rural areas which were once built as spots of closeness were eventually turned into sprawling towns? Or trying to saying things aren’t so different despite the fact that we can literally see, with our own eyes, how the differences are pretty bad? He’s not asserting anything in the sense that he’s not just talking out his ass, it’s video proof.

I agree with everything but the first paragraph, which unfortunately taints the rest. Communism can’t really be considered a failed system if it’s only ever existed in its infancy. Capitalism is a failed ideology specifically because it was given every possible advantage and has still completely and utterly failed to address the needs of any kind of remotely fair and just society. Any attempts to make the switch toward communism in this world are incredibly difficult undertakings because of how it is the antithesis of the existing structure, while capitalism only needed to make one easy step away from the feudalism is was created to replace. History is pretty clear on this if you look beyond the very surface level propaganda, to the point where you don’t even to “just google it bro” but can actually just see it all woth your own eyes.

I’m not a full-blown tankie communist, but I’m absolutely a socialist. My aims are toward the next step or two, not much further but certainly not so close as can be easily hand-waved by those with too much power.

Or coercion, or a bunch of other closely related things. All across history there have been “incentives” for women to lower their standards and to gaslight themselves into believing that their shitty situations were normal.

I’m kinda jealous of GenZ in some ways. They never expected things to work out ever, but us 30+ folks had a hope that was taken away from us. And so many of us deserve it because we’re chasing “stability” in systems where stability means more of the same crap that took our hope away to begin with.

But they’re very correct that so many things aren’t needed. I mean, gender on a driver license? Really?

Yea, at least China puts on a front. The rest of us use the US as the butt of our jokes when we want to drive home the point about some system or other being purposefully cruel to those it claims to have been designed for.

Right? If I don’t otherwise pay for the service then sure, some ads are fine. Problem is that at this point I’m seeing ads every few minutes, and if the video restarts in a weird spot and reloads funny after I reopen my laptop I might even get the same ads looping after literally two seconds of video.

Also, I was paying for the service and then they gave a fuckload of support to Israel to spread propaganda so I stopped.

They also spent a REALLY long time fighting EV and public transit development. They really have no idea how anything works or how to plan further than a few months but society will still act like they’re so smart they deserve billions.

Republicans like “Noooo don’t deadname my special thing! Nooooo!!”

The anti-pronoun party once again fully understanding the concepts and yet showing us once again that the point is the cruelty, not consistency.
