They read Yanis Vourofakis’s new book and thought technofeudalism was a manifesto.

Wrong, they should be on-call 24/7 to do repairs immediately. 48 hours is a generous compromise offer.

In a multipolar world there is no one country that gets to be in charge.

A universal global currency isn’t a bad idea, necessarily, but putting all that power in the US’s hands was always bad. Any time anyone tried to do anything the US didn’t like they’d get slammed with structural readjustment and sanctions and blockades and regime change. It was always a tool of underdevelopment and imperialism.

Ask Cuba how great it was that the dollar was the reserve currency.

It was never deserving of being the reserve currency.

It sure fucking seems like it.

The framing looks bad to us because that’s not the housing we want, that’s not the vacation we want, those aren’t the toys we want, and that’s not the retirement we want.

There are loads and loads of people who love suburbs and Funko trash, and they will fight us to the death to preserve what they have.

The examples given are, in fact, what they’re fighting for and they’re fully aware and quite happy about it.

I think I agree with /u/JoMiran@lemmy.ml

Your post is just invoking feeling in people who already hate this shit. Circlejerk material.

It’s more meaningful to focus on things which are objectively bad, like rising suicide rates or lowering life expectancies.

I already said? It’s clear that Biden never gave Ukraine enough military assistance to win, we all seem to agree on that, and there’s only a couple explanations for that.

Either I’m supposed to believe the US was too afraid to go all-in for Ukraine… or the US never cared if Ukraine won.

There’s things people have said. Lloyd Austin said; “we want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.” The Security Council said they wanted, “to make this invasion a strategic failure for Russia.”

And then there’s the arms trade. The US has used this war as an opportunity to pull countries away from Russian arms trade and into the US/NATO sphere instead, switching over supply lines to benefit Western arms manufacturers. This war has the arms trade booming. Why would they ever want the war to end?

And then they blew up the Nordstream pipeline to keep the war going and make Europe more dependent on US gas.

But I’m sure the US are the good guys and they’re just trying their best! 😇

Except we don’t get free healthcare or government housing or guaranteed employment or-

They weren’t “afraid”

The plan was never for Ukraine to win and Biden’s actions make that very clear. The plan was to get Russia stuck in a quagmire and drain them of blood and treasure fighting an unwinnable war.

They wanted to turn Ukraine into Iraq.

A bin of reusable cloths would also work - each cloth gets used once and then put in a dirty bin to be washed later.

So if it’s not really an event

And it’s not really a math problem

What the hell is it??

The fact that the majority of people don’t believe in this stupid shit should tell you that, actually, the majority of people are informed.

There’s just this persistent and very loud minority of morons who only trust other more charismatic morons who tell them that ivermectin is actually the panacea.

Honestly fucking stupid.

You think these hogs care that you removed the content? It’s not about the content! They just hate public media! You can never conform to their standards because their standards are solely about privatisation.

With friends like these…

In a democracy the majority is in charge of society.

And that’s not what we have and it never has been. There was a brief experiment with democracy during Reconstruction before white terror destroyed it, but that’s it.
