They think the only thing holding us back from a race war where we kill all the non-whites is our access to electricity.

I think it genuinely doesn’t even cross their minds that the vast majority of all the other people aren’t violent, racist monsters.

‘Satan 2 missile’

“Ivan, are we the baddies?”

Exactly, the idea that you go up a floor because there’s a roof over your head is very silly.

Each to their own but, to me, rich people would make far more, personally, with the American system. I 100% get how you came to your conclusion though. I’m not saying sadism wouldn’t make sense or anything.

The UK did it immediately after WW2 when our economy was destroyed. We were in much debt, we didn’t finish paying America back until 2006. However, apparently, the country we paid all that money to cant afford it?

You have to admire the brazennes of the lie though.

To me, its much more that the rich don’t want to pay for the healthcare of the people who earn all of their money for them, rather than active sadism.

More, devoid of empathy and not really seeing them as fellow humans, deserving of basic rights like not dying of poverty. Especially if it costs them money.

He’s been telling that story for years

OK but what about going onto the ground?

Like, in your garden, is that the first floor of the planet?

When you get off an airplane, do you say

“Its great to be back on solid first floor of the earth.”

?

Tbf, economics has to presume inequality to be non existent. If they dont, inequality is the overriding factor that makes all the other forces at play pale in comparison. So, they remove inequality.

Again, tbf, in a world with no inequality, where only the very best and brightest rise to the top and not just a endless stream of nepo babies, with whole institutions in place to ensure a lack of social mobility, a national minimum wage would be a bad idea. Just like tax breaks for the rich would fix any problem you had, in that fake - made up world that could never exist.

But, as you allude to, in the real world, things are very different.

The “weak and strong” thing nazis do with Jewish people has always been one of the most ridiculous square circles imo.

They’re, apparently, weak, bad, lower, undesirable etc. As such, they should be killed to allow the master race to take charge of everything.

However, apparently, Jewish people are also in charge of all the banks, all the governments and every institution, other than nazi approved ones, as well as being in charge of everything. Ruling from the shadows.

However, by their own logic, that would make the Jews the master race.

Maybe a shot of insulin, from the sounds of it.

Its always been about artificially keeping the price of labour down. I don’t blame people for wanting to move to have a better life but we have to be honest about the real reason it happens.

Theres never a skill shortage. Theres only ever a shortage of companies who are willing to pay people what they’re worth.

Diddy only fits 2/3 of the criteria for that

For me, it kept a lot of the worst of the idiots away from places like reddit.

As soon as xitter got bad, lots of them left. You see, those kinds of weaponsied, unhigned right wingers are so repulsive to be around, they can’t even stand each other. More so, they dont even want to have a conversation or an exchange of ideas. They literally just want to rant at people, parroting the lines they read somewhere else at anyone they think disagrees with them.

If everyone agrees with you, you have no one to rant at.

Facsism is just capitalism when you try to say no.

Understandably, workers didn’t like capitalism. So, when they found out about socialism, many of them grouped up and tried to say no. After which, facsism was made to counter this.

So, I mean literally fascism is just capitalism when you try to say no. You only get mercan staal neo classical economics because you say yes.

Outside of small city states, capitalism came from merchantislism.

Specifically, at the intersection where merchantislism and mass dispossession/theft of people’s land meet.

The only meaningful change is that the assets are now, mostly, intangible and you’re allowed to move to a different parish.

I see a fair amount of online adverts that use them. Usually the kind you might get orbiting an article of some kind, just using AI images as their hook.

They call countries banana republics, from what could be described as oil and banking republics with just a small modification or two, without a hint of irony.

Honestly, i think the reason is that just the right amount of alcohol dependency is amazing for capitalism. Dont get me wrong, I’m not judging anyone. I understand and I enjoy a drink myself. I just think we need to be honest with ourselves about it.

It keeps you consuming and it makes you forget all the bullshit you had to put up with all day. It dulls your your problem solving, your creativity and (most importantly) your empathy, so supervisors, middle managers, department managers and execs are less disinclined not to beat down on those below them.

I’m not saying its some grand conspiracy. I’m saying, those in power have known exactly the right drugs to administer to the masses in order to placate them. The Romans knew to give wine and not cannabis. The British army knew to give rum & brandy but not weed.

In fact, all of them were legal. Then, capitalism really took off and, totally unrelated in sure, every drug other than alcohol suddenly became illegal.
