This daddy’s boy ass-twat is not half as brave, knowledgeable, experienced, wise or strong as the people he has imprisoned. And then he uses his own anniversary to “pardon” them. “Pathetic” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
A lot of the work we do is effectively to satisfy the (constantly changing and growing) desires or the wealthy (or let's say, the desires of the people who employ wage workers).
Simple example: labour productivity has grown with 70% since the 70s while real wages have stayed more or less the same. So that growth in output hasnt been going to workers. (The time that productivity increase could have freed up, is now used to produce stuff that the workers do not get to consume themselves).
The good thing is that you don't have all these toxic, wealth-dependent, brand-indoctrinating capitalist, environmentally destructive fast fashion pressures for kids.
I read somewhere that within Russia Ukrainian troops would be more vulnerable to the Russian Air Force?
