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

 

A black mom was trying to cross the street from a bus stop, because the nearest crosswalk was almost a mile away. A driver hits her child and she gets blamed for “jay walking”. Just an insanely evil country.

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

[–] coderade@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago

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

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

 

I didn’t see much info about it prior to watching, went with some friends. A large part of the movie is about his possible communist affiliations, and his defaming. It wasn’t insanely anti-communist, but it definitely operated under the assumption communism equals bad. Anyone else have some thoughts on it?

Just discovered Mashle last week, and binged it very quick. The central theme of the show revolves around a class war, the magic elite vs the less magical masses. There is a corrupt government that only works for that elite class and their interests, that wants the hero dead. The main character defends himself only after he or his friends are attacked, beats the hell out of them, then wins people over with kindness. I’m choosing to view it more socialist leaning than it was perhaps intended but to each their own.
