Lib: (explains how capitalism works)
"I get how capitalism works. I think it's bad."
Lib: (explains how capitalism works again, but louder)
All of these podcasts are for the kind of Libs who were excited when the Parliamentarian canceled the minimum wage increase, because they got to explain what a Parliamentarian is.
In this modern rotting era, it would make sense for the very real threat of nuclear weapons to be supplanted by a very fictitious threat of Skynet.
I like how The Last Tsar on netflix openly acknowledges that Nicky 2 is committing a pogrom against the Jews over the economic crisis he and the rest of the staunchly anti-democratic literally-feudal ruling class caused. The last Czar of Russia was committing a pre-industrial holocaust, the documentary openly acknowledges that in a throwaway line, and then spends the rest of the doc mourning his grand finale. Oh no, I hate when Hitler with a crown gets done in by the Reds before he can industrialize and really become a monster, oh no, oh nooo :brainworms:

Say what you will about those Chinese bots, I've never heard one advocate for a nuclear holocaust.
