Nah, they jacked the prices up on guns and ammo, too. I haven't been able to enjoy a range day or go trap shooting for years, now. All we got is expensive poop lettuce and malk.
The issue isn't that capitalism took them away, it's that capitalism scared them into giving them away. They were convinced that racism, xenophobia, hate, and guns were more important than everything else. That's why they refuse to admit that everything's worse as a result of their actions - if they admit that, then they admit that they were tricked into losing everything, and they'd rather live the rest of their lives pretending this is what they always wanted instead.
Racism, xenophobia, hate, and guns is all they ever wanted in the first place.
But also, how about stop fucking demonizing guns when they're the only solution to fascism that's ever worked?
It's both.
Corporations are still run by, made by, staffed by humans.
Letting them off the hook because western society has a major "fuck you I got mine" problem isn't right either.
Humans at corporations could stand up for the right things, they just choose not to.
And fed you poison.
You spoonfed us Saturday morning mouthfuls of maggots and lies disguised in your sugary breakfast cereals.
Blaming capitalism is like sharks for shark attacks. Companies exist to maximize profit, subject to their constraints imposed by the government. So blame the party that controls your government.
Europe is capitalistic and this post doesnt apply here. The major problem with capitalism is that all the other systems we humans tried so far suck more.
Stop with this capitalist realism nonsense.
The problem with capitalism is that it only benefits a small ruling elite who claim private ownership over the means of production to the point it oppressed all other systems, regardless of if they were better or worse for society as a whole.
Yeah, that doesnt happen in any other system...
I will stop this discussion until you educate yourself.
Didn't say it didn't happen in other systems. I'm saying the assumption that capitalism is the best system just because it's the one we currently have is simple minded and self fulfilling logic.
I suggest you do stop this discussion to educate yourself if this wasn't readily evident for you.
But I have lots of guns, so if shit goes way south I can just hunt my hard right neighbors.
Whatever it's called, the systems should help people in data-backed ways and use the best info available, for the benefit of the majority. Encourage curiosity and education to discover new things, healthy work-life balance, paid sick and family leave, easy access to healthcare for all, stable rights and benefits for workers, etc. All the things that reduce poverty and chronic stress and good for advancing healthy humanity. People do better, less crime and happier too so it really is win-win, for We The People. Use Sagan's baloney kit to examine these things and it's obvious which political platform with a chance to win is closest. Ranked choice voting might help other parties win too. This is what we need, not more tribalism while getting sicker, and falling farther behind in many measures due to maga.
Yeah but then you end up French or Norwegian, cant have that.
