Nobody is gleefully revelling in schadenfreude of the far right rise in the US. Quite the contrary ffs

Why do you think fascism is on the rise everywhere? Because most of the western world follows the US (and also because the US pushes for that )

We’re trying our best to hold the line in our countries but we can’t invade the US to kidnap your dictator like the US can. It has to be the US people to topple him

If you don’t save your democracy/country soon it’s only going to get worse/harder to do so

You are still valid in pointing out that even if the world sucked before and they did what they do now, that it was easier to excuse people due to ignorance

That’s not the case anymore when Trump proudly admits they invaded Venezuela for their oil and people still praise him and what happened

Because they “do”. They literally just proved it.

And Europe/EU and the UN let them as shown by the lack of consequences they faced. Heck, they didn’t even get a “strong condemnation” by a bunch of people in power. They actually got PRAISE for what they did

It will still happen is a bit of a fallacy. It’s one less person doing that job but I agree that one person won’t make a meaningful change

However the thing that changes is that if you reject that job you reduced by 100% your direct contribution to people killing missiles. Someone else will design that missile but at least you won’t have to live with the guilt that you did

Now, if it’s between that and a much worse life, I won’t blame anyone. But it’s a choice that everyone has to make for themselves. Personally I have possibility to reject those offers, and so I do.

FYI when we’re talking about taxing the rich and wealth we’re not talking about doctors and lawyers even if they still make a fuck ton because they are still getting paid for their labour and they need to work in order to maintain their lifestyle even if they would be considered rich.

What we’re talking about are people who make their living through their capital I.e. due to the exploitation of other people.

Fuck yea brother/sister/whatever

Enjoy! It’s an amazing show

Touché

But who else other than Israel has the motive to attack a humanitarian vessel? Not once but twice in two days and also has done the same to every single mission towards Gaza?

There’s only way to spin it. Did Israel even deny it?? They didn’t because they want people to know it was them. It’s a scare tactic and that doesn’t work if it’s some random guy with a drone

Meanwhile they’ll lose their shit if they see a small boat with refugees trying to enter their country

Ofc but those rules are there by design and are natural to the system

If the many have the control then it is hard for any one individual to gain control and rig the system for himself, because the many can kick him out

With capitalism you don’t have this natural control. You put in checks and balances that will fail eventually as they always did and then you’re screwed.

It doesn’t because the power and needs of the many are aligned in socialism and that’s not the case in capitalism

Within capitalism you need checks and balances so that the ruling class aka capitalist class doesn’t put their “needs” (more like desires”) above the needs of the majority

Within socialism the ruling class is the majority by definition they can’t exploit the system in their favor because that’s literally how it’s supposed to work.

So no, it’s very different

Capitalism that you mention that could work was the capitalism we had until the 70s and it’s what lead us to the late stage capitalism we have today

Even if you reset you will end up at this stage because accumulation of wealth and thus power will always occur and then the capitalist class has both the means and incentive to change the rules of the system and then they get more wealth and power etc etc

You can’t guard it unless you have power and under capitalism you don’t.

You gave the loaded gun to the capitalist class and then try to force them to do the “right” thing and not use the gun for bad stuff, except they have the gun… they’re not going to listen to you

Half truths aren’t facts nor science

Zurich for example

Maybe lowlands isn’t the best word but it’s not high up in the alps

Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.

We’re so fucked

The enemy of your enemy is your friend

Or for me it would make CP2077 and hundreds of other games free to play on the Steam deck (since I already own them)

Let’s see

I’m sure he will have basically only far right policies but he will call himself and the party “centrist” so I wouldn’t be surprised if some low information Dems fell for it as well

Incredibly cheap I’d say
