US politics is absolutely retarded but at least you aren't going to fall out of a window for criticizing the president.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 months ago

No, but if you blow the whistle on a US company you might end up suicided.

Oh yea, true but that less about politics and more about capitalist creed. The US also has a police system that seemingly runs on the ritual sacrifice of innumerable black folk and pets but that is also not relevant.

Capitalist greed is what influences the base of US politics, though.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -5 points 7 months ago

How can you possibly separate politics from capitalist greed. The government represents the class that holds power, and US it's the capital owning class.

In Russia the olicarchs are directly ruling the country so you can't criticise them without endangering your life. In the US the capitalist class heavily influences the politics but isnt the one directly ruling the country so you can criticise the politicians all you want. That's the difference I was pointing out.

I hope you enjoy your freedom of screaming into the void while being exploited.
