Worker benefits are better than they were 10 years ago, and way better than 20 years ago. Wages have gone up, and keeping pace with inflation with varying degrees of success over the years. People work less than they used to is what I’m saying. I work less than my parents did and I think it’s a good thing. But the economy will slow down because of it.

You can’t compete with a nation that doesn’t feel bad about exploitation of workers. If the workers cooperate then you can get a crazy amount of productivity out of them. The united states is losing its power because we aren’t willing to work as we used to. It’s a tradeoff, but I’m fine with it except that I’m not sure I trust China/Xi Jinping as the world’s superpower. He eliminated term limits when he took power, and I’m sure has no intention of going anywhere for a long time. Everyone so busy celebrating Trump looking bad, but forgetting that it could be and will be a lot worse for the western world under a Chinese dictator.

Yes, please screw the entire world economy and use it to fund global jihad. As long as it embarrasses Donald Trump then it’s worth it.

Probably Christianity

I reserve my dislike for people who feel obligated to express their petty and useless opinions, but you do you.

Also all of the smaller powers too, who do even worse things to their people but nobody knows or cares about it.

Has anyone recommended therapy for Iran’s leaders? Maybe that would stop them from violently oppressing their people, since War obviously isn’t working.

Yes but it’s still weird going to bat for Iran, an objectively worse country in every way. The blood of thousands of their own citizens spilled at their own hand hasn’t even cooled yet, and somehow people are making them out to be the good guys.

That makes more sense

I was curious why they didn’t mention Israel or Lebanon and so I read the article and concluded that it’s because it’s not about Israel or Lebanon.

Blows my mind that people cheer on Iran. Is it just a simple, anti trump, anti Israel reaction?

Bro got brutally post mogged. Unfortunate for him that he crossed paths with an Elder. He needs to grind 4chan for the next few weeks if he hopes to ever recover. Instagram reels won’t help him out of this one.

Deliberate like they wanted to hit that target and didn’t realize it was a school, or deliberate like they wanted to hit a girls school and kill kids?

Ok good that’s what I thought

When is it propaganda and when isn’t it?

Doesn’t surprise me tbh. I’m pretty cynical about powerful people in general. I think if we knew everything there are very few who would survive with reputations intact.

The single most important purity test is Trump. Abraham Lincoln, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mr Rogers, and uhh Eleanor Roosevelt would instantly become terrible people if they shook Trump’s hand, regardless of anything else they did or accomplished in life. That’s how it works. It’s like King Midas kinda.

That’s different on a lot of levels, starting with the fact that Jesse Owens wasn’t from Germany. But also it’s tough comparing Trump directly to Hitler because you have to make assumptions about what Trump will do, based on the way Hitler was at the time.

We don’t have to let people like Kash or Trump try to make it about themselves, and we don’t have to try to force something onto the athletes that they never intended or stood for. It’s disgraceful that we can’t simply celebrate with them, disgraceful that powerful politicians try to steal their glory, and disgraceful that certain leftists are too full of anger to allow themselves to enjoy life for even one second.

It’s an invitation from the leader of the country they represented. It’s very normal and is happening all over the world right now in different countries who are celebrating their accomplishments during the winter Olympics. Unfortunately now after the fact, there are a lot of people trying to use them for various political ideologies.
