Giving money to Amazon, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Google .etc
It’s like, you can’t have an argument for price gouging, when you’re enabling them by spending. If people were smart, they’d stop giving them money 10 - 15 years ago and they’d be right now, trying to reconstruct so they can be more economically friendly than how they are now.
Because with stuff like this you cannot simply say “everyone should know better” they don’t know btr, they don’t care, they don’t understand. For a myriad of reasons people will always do stuff counter to best logic, so you cannot ask them to. The only practical way to prevent stuff like this is through regulation and a government that serves the people. Lol it’s nice to dream.
If people were really smart, how would they post insults to make them less obvious?
Building electric car charging stations without security cameras.
About 75% of the chargers are disabled in my city. The primary method of disabling them is roll up with a sawzall and just chop the cable off. Gets you $5 worth of crack, which is always a nice incentive structure when there’s unguarded copper lying around.
The only chargers that survive are in front of 24 hour businesses.
Believing public figures on camera, or on a dais with a mic in front of them.
It’s not about “smart” vs “dumb.” People’s ideas are shaped by their Class Interests and Material Coniditons.
A person is smart. People, not so much.
Great movie
They’d stop believing people are stupid, especially those they disagree with, and realize that their differences are mostly made up by the ruling class to keep them in line.
Stop generalising groups of people.
I cannot think of a proper example rn, but I see this everywhere.
meme example
group a does x
also group a: says something contradicting x
This happens across the board, not only in political topics.
capitalism
@yogthos @NeoToasty 🤣 almost got it…just a bit farther;)

You’re not getting cashback on your credit cards yous daft cunts 😂 You’re paying it in advance
Thinking that they have the “one simple trick” for everything when most matters are actually a complex network of issues where there isn’t one answer.
And not counting for the variables like what could go wrong, short-term gains, long-term gains .etc
they would stop wasting their money
Stop driving (pollution, deaths, cost of living etc) and remodel cities and town around PT and AT , restricted gun ownership
How do people living with no PT or AT options stop driving?
Also, the working masses must remain armed to prevent even further class slavery.
I’ve joined three different unions and the only guns I’ve used were loaned to me by a representative of my country for a short period decades ago.
Okay I still can’t go anywhere without a car tho
OP mentioned remodeling cities around public transport, I think that also goes for more rural areas. There’s a solution for every scale : metro, bus, train, shuttle, etc.
I agree there are solutions, I have lived in places with great options. But getting things changed here is very slow and for now you still can’t walk or bike, and there are no buses or trains.
Stop. Electing. Fraudsters.
Especially when the fraudster is a convicted felon.
They would understand that socialism is not communism. Also you can have capitalism and socialism at the same time, you just have to give and take a little.
They would understand that socialism is not communism.
Socialism has so many definitions that this can be subjectively true or false. This isn’t even some trivial gotcha, the terms were used interchangeably even by significant writers of the 1800s. For another example, a socialist mode of production and a capitalist mode of production are contradictory.
If one wants to make these kind of broad claims without starting pointless arguments, they’ll need to use a more specific term than ‘socialism’.
You’re wrong about literally all of that.
Op probably thinks socialism == Scandinavian welfare states. Most online USA midwits don’t know the difference
That’s what I think of about socialism. The democratic socialist Scandinavian countries
The ones that explicitly state they are not socialist?
If you want your contribution to have any weight at all, you’ll elaborate. As it is, it is just worth dismissing
So people can just say whatever shit they want offhanded and not be criticized, but if you want to say they’re wrong you have to give exhaustive reasoning and proof for each and every thing, huh?
That’s a really dumb thing to believe so I’m wondering if you just speak frivolously without thinking and would like to walk your position back a bit.
As it is, it is just worth dismissing
If we dismiss dismissals, this will go on looping forever. The person they replied to did not elaborate on some very dubious claims, and as is, are just worth dismissing.
I dismiss your answer !
Do you identify as an American per chance?
I identify as your mom, loser
That explains the lack of education
lol shut up dumbass
