Maybe we are vastly different ages and geographic areas because all I got was fucking capitalist propaganda in school.

I once lived somewhere where the tap water was undrinkable. Ironically on the side of a fucking mountain so you’d think it would be good water.

Apparently that particularly area has naturally high levels of arsenic in the water and higher than normal cancer rates especially stomach cancer. And I lived in a small town on the edge of a national forest so it wasn’t industry polluting water, it was naturally polluted water if you can believe that.

Now where I live, 20 mins away, the spring water is so good you could bottle it.

Both places are untreated well water - the current spot the well draws from the spring.

Why the fuck is there a dress code at a chess game? Other than you know, wear non offensive clothing?

No one is erasing anything. The history taught in the west is warped - look at how bad communism is! - and not a fucking peep connecting the atrocities in the west to capitalism. Atlantic slave trade anyone? Manifest destiny aka the genocide of natives? The slave trade predates “official” capitalism by a couple centuries but what existed before “official” capitalism was a prototype of it.

Western education lies by omission.

I’m in the too silly to be taken seriously boat. They/them works perfectly fine.

You changed your comment

Sorry not obvious. Two parties might be democratic, if party A wants peace and a fair distribution of compensation for work, and part B wants endless war and exploitation of labor.

But since both American parties want the later they’re really just one party in two colors.

My other account got banned from world because I fully support Luigi’ing our elites.

Also LOL not responding to my comment and instead just being a fucking child you haven’t been on lemmy long enough so your opinion doesn’t matter!

Guess I gotta block a dumbass mod too.

Ok, now look at america and think really critically about what you just said.

Sure, there is a red party and a blue party. Sure, they have some differences socially. But economically and foreign policy wise they are the same. Pro capitalist, pro imperialist, pro fascist, pro genocide, pro bombing the shit out of anyone who has natural resources they need for their donors, American business. Or regime changing them.

They’re the same fucking party once you remove the culture war bullshit.

How are you gonna blame soviets for the russian empire?!

No one is saying that. The meme states that they got to learn about the famine - blamed on communism - but never do the atrocities that happen under capitalism and it’s prototypes get painted as such. They’re never blamed on capitalism.

If a famine happened under capitalism there would be all sorts of excuses for it instead of blaming the economic system like we do with communism.
