And even during the war everybody just used bombs to attack cities, not gas.

At least I'm fairly certain this was the case, I've never heard about chemtrail warplanes in WW2

Note that just because Marx said something doesn't mean you should treat it as a gospel.

Marx lived from the early 19th to the late 19th century and didn't witness WW1. Since then, the military has become almost infinitely more powerful compared to Marx's days, where armed workers stood an actual chance against the military. Nowadays though? Not even remotely. Shut off the internet and electicity in a region, ban the press from reporting, send in the military and wipe out any protest, regardless of how many arms there are. Just take a look at Chechnya and how well they've been doing after declaring independence.


The US is an exploitative capitalist country despite having an awful amount of guns.

Northern European countries are significantly less exploitative, while still capitalist, countries without nearly as many guns.

The amount of arms in worker's hands and the severity of capitalism has no relation anymore. Hell, by having so many guns, the US can reasonably argue for ever greater police budgets without much backlash. You wouldn't want children to die in school shootings, would you, you monster?

You cannot ban cars without having a solid public transit network, obviously. Besides, in nearly all cases you'd take a child to a closer doctor anyways because visiting a doctor shouldn't require car ownership, ever.

Ban personal vehicles from cities and you can still order as many Amazon packages as you wish

IEEE 754 floating point numbers have a signed bit at the front, causing +0 and -0 to exist.

We can keep them indefinitely then, right? If they're not doing anything there is no need to ever revoke them.

A prison sentence doesn't make sense in these cases, since there is no risk of repeat offenses and therefore no rehabilitation required.

Just give them a 4 digit large fine and maybe deport them, unless you have a non-functioning justice system focused on cruelty, then give them a significant prison sentence.

However, people often sing the first one

Correction: Nazis - and only nazis - often sing the first one.

Das einzig wirklich notwendige ist das Verbot der Finanzierung und des Einflusses ausländischer Staaten auf religiöse Vereine.

Natürlich vergeigt die CDU das (absichtlich) indem keine einzige positive Alternative gefördert wird.

Kirchensteuer auf den Islam erweitern um Moscheen zu finanzieren, die die FDGO respektieren? Nö. Verpflichtender Islamunterricht an der Schule für junge Muslime? Auch nö. Investitionen in die Integration von muslimischen Flüchtlingen? Nie im Leben.

You withdraw cash at an ATM but the software has faulty code which causes your balance to remain the same after withdrawing any amount.

You notice this and then empty the entire ATM this way, making $200,000. I'm sure once you explain to the jury that the ATM just gave you a bad contract, they will acquit you.

You will change the Democrat-Republican duopoly as soon as you convince everyone to stop participating in consumerism (beyond one's basic needs).

Which is to say: never.

The last time neither a Republican nor a Democrat was President was more than a century ago. Good luck changing the people's habits as well as the monumental support structures both parties have erected to prevent any third party from gaining traction, ranging from super PACs to literally the entire American news network, including social media.

Placebos work even when you knows it's a placebo though. Pointing out something is a placebo is important because many are at best overpriced scams (homeopathy) and at worst actively harmful (chiropracty). The culture behind many placebos is also rife with pseudoscience and advocates against seeking out genuine care, so you should ensure nobody gets invested into placebos past a certain point.

One can make an informed decision regarding taking placebos if and only if one knows it's a placebo, else one will be scammed and/or harmed.
