I fully agree, I just like to phrase it like that because I feel that type of mindset would click for a lot of Americans (non-commies), because Americans are all about "we're gonna get on the gridiron and we're gonna win! we're gonna get the touchdown, we're gonna be the Super Bowl champs", but ironically no one else plays in the Super Bowl but America, so we're always the Super Bowl champs. It's just a perfect analogy.

Capitalism is a meritocracy! but also:

Think about this, we will never get told that we're in a recession, or that inflation is a runaway, but we're in a convenience store. Typical working-class tradition is you get your snack and your drink for the day at a convenience store. Packs of peanuts are usually two for a dollar, or one for 59 cents. They've been this price for such a long time that I'm kind of flabbergasted they changed it. Those same packs of peanuts? One for $1.59, or two for $3.00. Let me get this straight, there's no inflation, there's no recession, but also your money goes one-third the way it used to. Keep in mind these are prices from from like 2016, not even 10 years ago.. One dollar in 2016 feels like 30 cents today.

How in the absolute fuck am I going to plan for my future in a country where the money is losing value at such a rapid pace? As far as I'm concerned, if you're saving money, that's dumb, because your money's losing value. You're never going to beat the "real"l inflation rates. I haven't even been in the workforce for 10 years, and I can tell you one thing, things aren't going to get any better.

I have a feeling that the government doesn't want us to think, "hey, yeah, we don't need to be saving money because it's going to lose value faster than it'll accrue it, so we need to be spending, spending, spending" because I'm pretty sure that's what causes hyperinflation. I'm not an economist, I'm just some guy, though, and hyperinflation tends to kill your country, your empire, so we'll see.

There won't ever be a recession so long as certain goods that are put into the consumer price index keep it going down. It's like, sure, you can't afford your groceries, you can't afford to eat, but you can go buy a new TV for cheaper than you could ten years ago. So inflation is technically non-existent. But you can't eat TVs, you can eat the rich.

I maintain that Marxists are better at playing the game of capitalism than "capitalists".

Was reading some of Engels letters about the stock market earlier lol

3 months deep into unemployment, I feel like I'm going crazy, stuck in the house, no cash, lots of noodles and ham sandwiches. I think I've eaten more ham sandwiches in the last month than I have my entire life.

Fuggggg

Panama Canal closure followed by organizes strikes across various ports in the US combined with failing infrastructure?

Fuck it let's make it Hurricane season too. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Let's take the Mussolini route, but we'll skip the filler and cut right to the ending.

too vague of a question. hell half of America would respond with "hell no, this country is falling apart, [something about white genocide]"

Yes this was the only way to avoid the 2018 HRC No Fly Zone escalations against Iran. Listen man, the gorilla was cool but you could be in a far worse timeline.

You stan Amerika I stan Turtle Island We are not the same

It's called being based OP, and it feels good to be based. Based is how you feel inside.
