I dropped Reddit when it was announced that you could be banned for upvoting something.

Luigi is also, in all probability, innocent.

Which means the Claims Adjuster is still at large.

Turns out giving him free reign with something that actually has a bigger impact than his own companies had consequences he doesn't like.

Her.

edit: Ah, I see you've already been called out for this. Admittedly that's why I tend to default to 'they' on the interwebs.

I mean.... it wasn't.

Communism means all things held in common. Theft wouldn't be a thing because everyone owns all property together. Ownership is meaningless.

Every one of those societies only paid lip service to communism - partly because it only works when everyone in the commune knows everyone else and holds each other responsible. It doesn't work at scale. What those societies really were was "The state owns everything and if you complain about it you get disappeared."

Nah, dissidents are just going to get disappeared to El Salvador. That way they can still be used for slave labor!

I like how they respond to the first part of the sentence (they've read texts) and act like that is the entirety of the critique, despite including the second part in their quote.

Honestly, it's old tech. There were guide-by-wire missiles for a long time before this.

Violence is only justifiable when it's used against people I don't like, not people YOU don't like.

75 years later, lesbians still dress this way...

The right-wing propaganda machine has gotten very good at blasting "The Democrats are DESTROYING THE NATION" across every channel they have whenever there's a non-Republican in power. Anyone who listens to it will never vote D, no matter what - because they believe that everything Democrats do are aimed at stripping rights from citizens and taking money from their paychecks. That propaganda machine is getting a broader and broader foothold as moneyed interests continue to gain ground.

Well, as it turns out, America's status as an economic juggernaut has always been dependent on keeping our occupied territory as shitholes that are terrible for the people who live there, so we can exploit their labor and resources. We learned well from the British Empire. The shitholeness is just being turned against a larger swath of our population now.

 

but I gotta follow the rule anyways, so here's a pointless text post.
