Nobody is gleefully revelling in schadenfreude of the far right rise in the US. Quite the contrary ffs

Why do you think fascism is on the rise everywhere? Because most of the western world follows the US (and also because the US pushes for that )

We’re trying our best to hold the line in our countries but we can’t invade the US to kidnap your dictator like the US can. It has to be the US people to topple him

If you don’t save your democracy/country soon it’s only going to get worse/harder to do so

You are still valid in pointing out that even if the world sucked before and they did what they do now, that it was easier to excuse people due to ignorance

That’s not the case anymore when Trump proudly admits they invaded Venezuela for their oil and people still praise him and what happened

Because they “do”. They literally just proved it.

And Europe/EU and the UN let them as shown by the lack of consequences they faced. Heck, they didn’t even get a “strong condemnation” by a bunch of people in power. They actually got PRAISE for what they did

It will still happen is a bit of a fallacy. It’s one less person doing that job but I agree that one person won’t make a meaningful change

However the thing that changes is that if you reject that job you reduced by 100% your direct contribution to people killing missiles. Someone else will design that missile but at least you won’t have to live with the guilt that you did

Now, if it’s between that and a much worse life, I won’t blame anyone. But it’s a choice that everyone has to make for themselves. Personally I have possibility to reject those offers, and so I do.

FYI when we’re talking about taxing the rich and wealth we’re not talking about doctors and lawyers even if they still make a fuck ton because they are still getting paid for their labour and they need to work in order to maintain their lifestyle even if they would be considered rich.

What we’re talking about are people who make their living through their capital I.e. due to the exploitation of other people.

Not to be a downer but I’ve talked with a deputy of the European Parliament that opposed chat control and they were getting so many emails that they just had to create a filter to immediately get rid of these emails as otherwise their email inbox would just get full and they literally couldn’t work (as they wouldn’t be able to receive other emails).

And this is from someone that is on our side. I assume that people that are actually for this bill will be getting blasted even more and will care much less, so I’m not sure how much are emails effective.

Bars already have schedules like that and it’s not an issue

You can add time to due dates to. It wouldn’t be that problematic. Or just keep the day only

Then use a time zone that makes sense for that?

Like it changes at midnight?

I mean that’s not really the issue

The issue is like restaurants opening for dinner at 7AM and such

It would be a big cultural shift

Nobody agrees on which one is better but I’d say a majority agrees that sticking to one is better

That’s like saying we can’t agree if we want burgers or steak so let’s all have nothing instead

Fuck yea brother/sister/whatever

Enjoy! It’s an amazing show

Touché

Meanwhile they’ll lose their shit if they see a small boat with refugees trying to enter their country

Thank you

Not even going to give him a reply

Different ideologies Same bosses/corruption

You think Putin isn’t were he is because of what the Soviet Union had before? He didn’t throw it all away

Ofc but those rules are there by design and are natural to the system

If the many have the control then it is hard for any one individual to gain control and rig the system for himself, because the many can kick him out

With capitalism you don’t have this natural control. You put in checks and balances that will fail eventually as they always did and then you’re screwed.

It doesn’t because the power and needs of the many are aligned in socialism and that’s not the case in capitalism

Within capitalism you need checks and balances so that the ruling class aka capitalist class doesn’t put their “needs” (more like desires”) above the needs of the majority

Within socialism the ruling class is the majority by definition they can’t exploit the system in their favor because that’s literally how it’s supposed to work.

So no, it’s very different

Capitalism that you mention that could work was the capitalism we had until the 70s and it’s what lead us to the late stage capitalism we have today

Even if you reset you will end up at this stage because accumulation of wealth and thus power will always occur and then the capitalist class has both the means and incentive to change the rules of the system and then they get more wealth and power etc etc

You can’t guard it unless you have power and under capitalism you don’t.

You gave the loaded gun to the capitalist class and then try to force them to do the “right” thing and not use the gun for bad stuff, except they have the gun… they’re not going to listen to you

Half truths aren’t facts nor science
