I ask for one if I suspect they’ll get my order wrong and I have a paper trail.

No, if enough people vote for socialist candidates and they pass a law that says all property now belongs to the state, then it’d be enforced just like any other current law.

The transition could be gradual. If we started nationalizing companies that get too big, and do that for a few generations then the state would own 99% of the economy.

If we keep raising property tax, you’d effectively get to the point where people are leasing the land rather than owning it.

You’re making zero sense. What is your argument I don’t even get it.

You see, “Other countries” includes the rest of the world. You build whatever fits the country, be it wind or solar or hydro. I don’t understand what you’re saying.

You can absolutely copy this. Just build solar where there’s no wind.

Still don’t understand how artists pulled this off back in the day. Did she pose there the whole day? Even then the sun would move.

So many details it looks like a photo.

That’s horrible. Can’t even imagine.

Having gone through what is essentially sleep deprivation torture when raising twins, I believe this and the guilt would be unimaginable.

Well the first naive argument against that would be, why would anyone work hard to become an attorney if it doesn’t pay more than anything else? Why spend years in school if it’s not going to get you ahead?

I guess in the star trek universe you do it because you like it?

I want to believe maybe that might work?

I absolutely agree with this comic, and in a lot of ways I was the kid on the left.

I struggle with the solution though. Isn’t it the purpose of all life about giving your offspring a better chance?

When we give the kid on the right more opportunity, the left side will keep increasing their investment until it’s lopsided in their favor again.

Maybe it’s not about trying to reach some theoretical absolute equity, but keeping the distribution at a healthy balance so that one side is not completely locked out of the game. That’s healthier for the whole community too since healthy competition ensures there’s progress.

I only read Lenny, obv I’m missing some meme about him fucking couches?

Were you born yesterday? This is the whole game. If you get frustrated and don’t vote you get fucked harder. The only winning strategy is to keep voting against fascism and then after the election you go protest and raise hell so we can have a more fair primary, or God forbid we can get rid of first past the post voting.

True. Although it’s Facebook. They could just tweak the algo in favor of the opposition candidate.

There’s no way they make enough from Nigeria to warrant paying that fine. They’ll just threaten to close shop there and the government will just drop the fine.

Vonesh instead of Borgers is not a misspelling. He either botched a find and replace because he just copy pasted from someone else, or he used GPT and it hallucinated random shit.

How much do the drones cost Iran? $10M a piece to take them down is crazy expensive. If Iran can churn these out at $1m a pop, they can out produce the defense.

Copy the url, then try stopping the telegram app. See if incognito still detects the app. I know discord web on PC will detect a running discord app by connecting to a local listening port. Not sure if that’s possible on mobile but if you terminate the app it should prevent that.

Yes the Jewish people didn’t exist before Israel. The Jewish Diaspora never happened. The crusades didn’t happen. The Europeans didn’t colonize, divide and create proxy wars.

Netanyahu is a shithead that allowed a bunch of medieval terrorists kill his people so he can retain power.

Civilians have been getting slaughtered in that region for millennia fighting their own brothers because they are carrying the wrong flag.

No we shouldn’t be content with Palestinians dying, but you can’t deny Hamas wanted this response and wanted their people to die because that’s how they raise funding and support.

It’s a shitty messy situation with civilians being used as pawns.

Fuck the DNC their corrupt system pushed Bernie out unfairly. There’s no disagreement there. But people abstain from voting because they’re upset with the DNC. That’s what I have an issue with. That’s like getting mad at fire so you let it burn your house down.

Sorry didn’t mean to come off so harsh.

Oh no why didn’t the DNC serve me my ideal candidate in a silver platter? I didn’t participate in primaries, I didn’t participate in local elections and then I ended up having to vote for Hillary! I’m going to protest by letting a clown take office.

And then when it turns out the clown is a fascist dictator I’m going to keep arguing about why my favorite candidate isn’t being served up to me in a silver platter!

Yes the system sucks and the Democrat candidates suck, but you can’t fix the system by abstaining your vote at the last second.

THE CORRUPT SYSTEM DEPENDS ON YOUR THIS EXACT BEHAVIOR.

And I know you probably did participate but it wasn’t enough. You need to convince others, you need to protest and raise awareness when it matters.

Letting a clown dictator run the country doesn’t further your cause.
