| One theme keeps rolling through the pro-capitalist replies in this and other threads: "If a Capitalist government fails, then it isn't real Capitalist". This includes Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and the USA. They break down and devolve into an anti-democratic f... |

| Capitalism as it exists is a sort of economic Calvinism. "The distribution of wealth is this , therefore it should be this ." "If this has happened, it is because of natural law. Going against natural law is foolish if not perverse." Just replace "natural law" or "... |

| You know you've been brainwashed when you just handwave all the ways an economic model doesn't work in order to declare that it's been actually working just swell the entire time. This is one of the more smug things about Strawman capitalists. If it seems like capitalism isn't working, then actuall... |

| What channel or streaming service was this on? Is it American, or is it possible it's from another country? Does it seem like a major stuido film? Or more like an independent film? Maybe a made-for-TV movie? Did you recognize any actors? Do you remember any word-for-word quotes from the movie that y... |

| Maybe 1/3 of the cast of Fire Emblem Fates is borderline unlikable. Corrin especially is dumb as a bag of hammers in the most frustrating ways. Mine is mostly Rosalina "So you have chosen... Death." Don't f*****g make jokes about k1lling me. That sets me the f**k off. You better not. Whoa... |

| Did you guys know? Europe is unique among places on Earth in that it has northern, southern, western, and central parts, yet no eastern part! Everyone knows that once you get east of Warsaw it's just a formless void until you hit the Urals. If you watch the video he never attempts to say Europe has... |

| To be fair, even the Labour Party has indicated they would also do a clamp down too. Labour aside, I dont know who they plan on using to carry out fitness to work assessments. Would have thought a GP would be the best person in the first place. Silly me. Sometimes us Americans idealize Labor as if ... |

| Trump wins in 2024: He gets another 4 years in office to even further damage the image of the GOP, but the GOP will be extremely relieved they never have to worry about Trump running again. Unless he wants to pull an FDR--just even less legal than when Frank did it. Trump loses in 2024: He declares ... |

Jesus Christ, as told by the Tories wrote: You gotta watch out for those shifty sick poor people. They're selfish and lazy, and sometimes those immoral, stupid doctors enable their sinful hatred of work. |

| Dennis Prager is known to be an Authoritarian and Christian Nationalist. I wouldn't trust any quiz he promotes. Dennis Prager is truly special. He's Jewish, yet he believes America is super special awesome in part because it's Christian, and that America would stop being special if it stopped being... |
