Since 2014, when the ~~conflict~~ invasion in eastern Ukraine began

Yes, absolutely unequivocally YES

Won't happen though, not for a second

The world will burn up and the rich will be the last to die, but at least at last, they will burn too.

Yeah, I'm cynical as hell but what's left these days? I grew up on a steady diet of one hero after another chosing to do the right thing and sacrifice themselves if they had to, because they were the one who could make the difference. So in the real world we have politicians and rich assholes, and they'd all sacrifice their own children before themselves. Nobody will stand up anymore so yeah, were fucked.

And we strongly condemn these governments that keep protecting genocidal maniacs

This is literally the behavior of a traitor

Seriously, what happened USA? You were never the best, not even close, you were one of the worst, but st least you tried. Now you just kinda dropped pretence and went full asshole

Yeah, no, that's not going to be a good time for anyone

This.

Russia has been poisoning people multiple ntimes all over Europe and the UK with no regards whatsoever for collateral damage. The polonium poisoning made an entire restaurant a radioactive hotzone, Russia doesn't give a shit. The skripals got poisoned and where do you dump the poisonous evidence? Why, just in a bin somewhere. People died from this.

Seriously, any Russian spy found should be hung publicly from a bridge or tree, send some message back to these evil fucks.

Of course not, it was the entire idea.

This message is so obviously sucking his asshole, they couldn't be more obvious yet Trump obviously has no idea

The cheeto really has a long list of mental issues, doesn't he?

So in other words, you fear corruption has gone so deep that you're not even sure that your nukes are in working order

So how does it feel to be on the other side? Would you start screaming genocide once they start killing all of you? I wonder what the world would say if that were to happen.

To be very VERY clear: I'm not calling for genocide on Jews, I'm not calling to harm a single Jew or just a single human being. I weep for those innocents that always fall victim to this shit, I don't care if they're Palestinians, Israelis, Iranian, or from whatever country

But I am talking to those that not only support the genocide on Palestinians, including their children, but encourage it, boast about it, brag about it, are proud about it.

How DOES it feel?

Yeah but...

Anytime I have discussions about communism it's always sort of the same thing...

Yeah, well, no country gas ever done communism right, that's why it has all failed, but REAL communism is awesome, you just have to do it such and so and it will be great!

Well yeah, sure, but then can't we say the same about capitalism?

Well yeah, capitalism has caused suffering but thats ibly because no country has done it right. Real capitalism is awesome, you just have to do it such and so and it'll be great!

For my part, I think capitalism is the way, but different from what we do now. To clarify, I think we both want the same destination, just different routes.

I want capitalism with a number of hard restrictions and restraint. At its core, capitalism is about freedom to trade. Unbound, this will lead to where we are now with monopolies and abuse coming out of the whazoo. Yet, capitalism's power is that it can generate economic prosperity better than any other system.

So how about this?

We go for capitalism but:

• companies cannot grow bigger than (pulling numbers out of butt) say 1000 employees. You reach that, you can't hire anymore.

• Companies cannot have a worth over a billion dollars. Any worth over that goes straight to taxes until that limit is reached

• Any person cannot have a net worth of over 10 million dollars. Anything over that goes 100% to taxes

• A billion dollar company therefore must have at least 100 shareholders

With these rules ( and a few more) you'll get rid of the too big to fail companies, you get rid of all the monopolies and powerful companies and powerful people. You get not one trillion dollar company, you get a million million dollar companies instead that compete with eachother

Meanwhile Governments get enormous tax revenues which they can then spend on a ginormous socialist network. Free healthcare (including mental, Dental, eyes, everything), free education for all, free minimal food, free housing, free public transport, hell we could even do universal income.

This is the other thing that ma y people kinda overlook: you need your system to generate enough "wealth" for everyone to be able to live and enjoy living. You need enough food, you need enough entertainment. The USSR, for example, wasn't known for any of these things

Oh yeah, that really was an extra cherry in the cherry.

It was such a sad display overall

Oh I know.

The funny part is that they fucking know how horrible their food is else they wouldn't want to pay for that, they'd proudly proclaim "Made in USA!"

You say that as if it's a good thing

Fuck. That. Shit.

US food has no business in Europe, it has no business anywhere unless you want to join in the regular Listeria or salmonella outbreaks that already happened at alarming levels before the Cheeto administration dismantled all monitoring

Trump, who else

The military parade might have been the sickest burn yet, so far.

Well well well, that sounds familiar...

I guess Iran is a better shot, then, because apparently they did miss the hospital

This

This is how you deal with companies lying and cheating. You jail the owners or C suite.

Monetary penalties won't change anything, won't stop anybody, jailing those involved will.

Soooo, we then just go back to handing guns to anyone?

Sorry, but with that attitude we can't improve anything. How about we just keep it a psychology test?

Yeah, I doubt we'll be making that cut there...
