That dude with a gun left an unmistakable political message on his casings that resonates with literally every single American that has never been massively wealthy. Disliking him for pretty much any public thing we know about him paints you as the type of person that honestly has a few casings waiting for you someday unless you give up your wealth and work towards helping your new found class.

Now that's trickle down economics that I can believe in.

You can't, but for people that want you to think Russia spends billions on astroturfing so a company that pays taxes in their country makes a few hundred dollars...

Landlords are scum, universally, and the world can only get better with their removal from it.

I know the Walton's at this point are stupidly wealthy and don't often go into public, but this seems like an incredibly arrogant announcement given the recent news.

Remember kids, you don't have to show your receipt at the door, most the cameras are fake, and if you take some extra bags from self check out and sneak them in next time literally no one will notice.

To quote Mussolini, the combination of state and corporate power.

As horrific as that is, reality is of course worse.

You'd be surprised, mostly because the alternatives simply aren't sold in the US or EU. SMIC is only 2-5 years behind Intel, and that gap is closing as Intel and AMD have stagnated. The others are a bit behind SMIC, but still entirely viable for the vast majority of use cases.

China is missing upper end consumer and data center chips so far, but that's just a matter of time and investment, something a massive trade war would provide.

"Tankies", i.e. anyone left of center have been banned from reddit for the last decade. Weird that after that capitalism did its thing and made reddit bad ...

Desperate isn't stupid. If you're offered a bowl of rice when all you've been eating is a bowl of maggots, it doesn't really matter if the rice is also just maggots.

It is hope, something you have to provide at a bare minimum to win an election.

Harris failed to do that basic thing, so did Clinton. Offering more maggots to eat while saying you're experiencing the best fine dining of your life already so we're not changing away from maggots is a bad strategy.

The violence has been escalating longer than you've been alive. This instance is smaller than the day before it.

You don't have a problem with violence, you just dislike it when it's done to the rich.
