And if we take the houses and give them away for free it would make prices go down even more!

0 is less than below market value!

Or a brown bear. Or a polar bear.

In fact, only try that with black bears basically.

(I know it’s a brown bear in the video, but dude just looks confused as fuck. Like he never even imagined a random hairless monkey would ever pop-up into his house).

Mass (Liberal) Effect: Maybe The Reapers Were Right?

Like literally every single species in the galaxy is hyper lib.

Reapers pls.

“Capture”. Did no one study the bourgeois revolutions of the 17th and 18th centuries?

The capitalist class revolted against the aristocracy and built new systems of government to benefit them. That is the origin of the modern state and capitalism.

The state as we know it has always been just a tool of the capitalist class to control all other classes. That’s what the state is, a tool of class control.

They do control TikTok data (in the US): https://www.mintpressnews.com/tiktok-chinese-trojan-horse-run-former-cia/286780/

They don’t control the algorithm tho, and TikTok is acting as a powerful tool against state propaganda in the west. Also, it’s a Chinese app that is more successful than the American ones, that’s scary for the US.

When capitalism. That’s when.

Edit: to clarify, it wasn’t much better before capitalism. But it was less all-encompassing. Feudalism was a shitty structure, worse even than capitalism tbh. But it was much easier to escape it. Not just in the “survivalist hippie camp” that still exists now. But even in everyday life. The system wasn’t shaping every facet of human existence. Only production relations (which is the big one yes). But capitalism has shaped everything around us. Our places of work, sure, but our personal lives. Our inner lives. Everything has been commodified. Mental health, religion, wellness, friendships, love and relationships, families, sickness, children etc. etc. etc… That is the main reason capitalism is worse than anything before it. No other system had the capacity to destroy the planet. None. To destroy all life in it. All in the name of profit. An immaterial, formless concept. Not even a real thing. And there’s not much we can do it seems. I mean there is, and I think it’s pretty clear. But I bet even that gets commodified soon. Bring on the politicians/capitalists death match reality game shows I guess…

That’s… not how bees and ants work tho? They don’t “follow orders” from anyone except their own biology.

Coke also just tastes worse in the US.

Rolling a joint then smoking it. It’s a ritual I repeat a lot… it’s pretty stupid but it does make life a bit easier to handle.

99.9% good, except Venezuela never had a socialist revolution at all. It’s not socialist now and it never was. Some slight social democrat policies doesn’t make a country socialist. Socialising national resources, building housing, giving economic support to the poor etc. that’s not socialism.

And Hugo Chavez led a coup before becoming president, in the 90s. He came to power democratically.

Christians give Jesus such a bad rep. He was pretty based tbh

Denmark is one of the more expensive countries in Europe… So that’s kinda expected no?

The locals make a lot of money, so it’s not that expensive for them.
