    And therein lies the problem, you and a lot of people like you, genuinely can’t differentiate life and politics

    the problem is precisely that for us politics has a practical effect on our daily lives. we have to worry about it, and talk about it, because if we simply let things go we get absolutely fucked

    good for you that your current condition makes you immune to even moderate sways in the political environment. that is not the case for millions of people, even the majority of them



  • some forms of autocracy can be more evil than some forms of capitalism is the worst sin.

    where i live a family of people born among the poorest 10% would take an average of nine generations to reach the middle class. nine. even ignoring the generational part, that’s about 20 million people condemned, by birth, to a life of deep poverty, lacking even the most basic goods such as food and housing. and we’re officially considered a “middle income” country.

    all, and i mean all AES states solved this problem either completely or nearly so by giving people decent jobs, education, health care and housing

    so yea it’s impossible for me to not find you people absolutely ridiculous when you talk shit about said states just because they “arrested too many citizens” or didn’t allow enough fucking free speech. you can rip my fucking tongue off if it means i don’t have to see my people getting fucked on a daily basis


  • i think i agree, it’s not that hard because you only need 3 ingredients for a prosperous capitalist society: 1) reasonably clean and effective government; 2) good regulation, which takes care of workers and the environment in the country; 3) a heavily exploited third world where 1st world mining companies go to get cheap resources and employ a semi-slave labor force that has to drink the resulting poisoned water, and if they ever have the gall to revolt you just sanction or nato-bomb their asses back to the stone age

    it has been working for centuries, i dunno why these leftoids keep talking shit
