  • This world is so fucking fucked up.

  • 👀😬

  • He loves this narrative, but the reality is that both him and his family are all heavily involved.

  • This is a fun rabbithole I dove down once. As a native Floridian my mind was fully blown by Florida having been a Spanish colony for 250 (1513-1763) years*, longer than it's been a US state (1845-2027).Both displaced natives and slaves obtained freedom in Florida... until Spain ceded the land to Britain, which I'm sure was a dark day for many.

  • It's one chocolate, Michael. How much allergies could it contain?

  • Yep, and the "sour" layer lasts about half as long as the flavor in a Juicy Fruit.

  • If you haven't had one since you were a kid I've got some bad news for you.

  • Can confirm.

  • Imagine the beers we could have without capitalism!

  • Most scientific breakthroughs have historically been either by the rich or monks because they're the only ones allowed to waste time furthering mankind's knowledge of the cosmos rather than laboring to produce capital.

  • Idk we've only ever heard the Hillbilly's POV. Were there ever any other witnesses' accountings, or is it just a he said He said situation?

  • Weighted voting based on how much said proposition affects you personally? Idk man why does perfect always have to be the enemy of a hell of a lot better than we have now?

  • The examples you've given are of a regulatory system that has been captured by private interests. These are the interests that need regulation, they have turned on its face a system that is meant to protect the people from them and are using it to protect themselves from consequences of their own exploitation. Regulation isn’t exploitation by default. Exploitation happens when regulation is written in ways that entrench incumbents or erode civil liberties. The solution is not to get rid of all regulation, it’s regulation that constrains power rather than concentrating it. Your examples are a symptom of what is wrong with the current system, not a demonstration of its function.

  • My guy. Again this is literally exactly what I'm talking about.

  • That again sounds like exploitation rather than regulation. That is exactly what I'm referring to when I say governed by shareholders.

  • Government doesn't have to be a hierarchy. Direct democracy would have been impossible in the past, but is very much doable in this day and age. But otherwise yeah, I agree.

  • Maybe you should reread what I wrote.

  • It replaced jobs, used nonrenewable resources, oh and drove teenagers to suicide! It sounds to me like it was responsible for negative economic growth.

  • They are slaves to trends and haven't thought about it even a little bit?
