There’s a reason democrats are known as liberals. They support capitalism in large part, and that comes with some nice bribes, err i mean lobbying

That’s not even necessary. She hasn’t voted in over half of the votes of 2023

Thanks comrade. Looks like you put in more effort than europe drawing colonial borders

Yeah. There’s variants of this from capitalist parents who do the first part, then follow up with some shit like “then I take half their allowance for taxes, that’s communism baby!”

Someone needs to redraw america, recolonise it

It’s crazy when you talk to conservative Christians and they’re like charity should do all the helping. Why the middle man? Let’s just help them regardless

Under no pretext should arms or legs be surrendered (skipped)

The cia just randomly deciding where to drone strike. Way too accurate

The brain drain from non-Western nations is tragically real. Intelligent people will see more rewards in capitalist nations and relocate there to help themselves and their families. If capitalism didn’t produce such big inequality people would have less incentive to move there. Ideally we’d have intelligent people spread through the world and throughout many industries, but some jobs are rewarded better than others

Watched it, was surprisingly less anti-commie than I was expecting. I feel like it painted the red scare as a shitty witch hunt, without explicitly being pro-communist. A good chunk of characters were communist or communist adjacent

It was definitely more critical than I was expecting. Surprising how many on the project dissented to its usage. I guess most had expected to use it against Germany while they were actively fighting. The red scare definitely looked like the needless witch hunt it was. Wartime seems to excuse many deplorable behaviours

I was curious if he was actually more friendly to communism than portrayed or not. It did seem like he was sympathetic to the cause, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he downplayed it after going through all those interrogations.

I don’t know enough about the CPUSA at the time, but I’d imagine they did more than drink and dance. I did like the way they portrayed the hiding of knowledge as problematic, and that sharing discoveries is how innovation really happens, not markets monopolising patents

Yeah, I think communists in the movie were painted fairly favourably, and McCarthyism of the error was less so. I do feel like they intentionally left out Einstein’s socialist preference, but who’s to say

Most western liberals are primarily focused on social issues because of the media narrative centering those issues as the dividing line. The American two party duopoly does not want people thinking about actual economic policies to help the working class, it would make the masses realize they are much more alike than either sides ruling class

Lmao. This time next year let’s shoot for number 1

I registered on genzedong.xyz, I tried a different app (Syphon) and that seemed to work. Not sure what’s going on with element

I was able to make an account on the website but I can’t login on the iOS element app. I get an error saying “Cannot find a server at this URL, please check it is correct.”

They also banned existing trans people from adopting. Tragically reactionary

Is the actual anime like a good storyline? And like based politics?

Being more environmentally friendly and cheaper? Where is he pulling that from?

Inventing a new technology from more or less scratch will be way more expensive. And I feel like they’d be comparable environmentally if they are both electric
