How long before Musk agrees with the cons and starts making gas powered teslas?
Perhaps the most damning statement came from former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Herzog, who said, “God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year, and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted.”
sorry for belaboring the point but
That's probably due to propaganda
You should check out some ideologies. You probably realize, but there's way more than red vs blue. You kind of sound like an anarchist. You don't necessarily have to give yourself a strict label, but it's a good idea to see what they're about. That's why I say political leanings, because it's possible to find ideas you latch onto that don't all fit neatly into one camp. Or don't and just continue to do the actions you feel led to.
And thank you for being receptive
You're contradicting yourself my dude. You give enough of a fuck to help people. Doing things for your community is a political action. Maybe you just haven't gotten the chance to understand your political leanings
Ah so you've fallen for the propaganda that says you don't have the power to change anything, that's just what the small number of elites want the large number of masses to think
Critical thinking is a skill that requires teaching and practice. If children are not given that preparation they won't have that skill in adulthood. That's why authoritarian governments care so much about controlling and/or limiting access to proper education.
Not dividing the left, just consolidating the right
It shouldn't but it does still baffle me how Trump is so consistently pulling from the Hitler playbook while still having as many people that do deny it
clarifying
I understand that there's a subset that support him because of that (even while denying it) but I still think (hope) that the majority of them truly don't like what Hitler did
Not trying to simp. Just saying you and I don't know what's really going on over there because of how our dear leaders control all the information that comes out.
Cowbee is mostly correct so I'm not going to address everything but there are 2 pieces I want to respond to.
Greed is rewarded in every economy.
That doesn't seem to be true. Like an economy that doesn't funnel money into individuals. Or even moneyless economies like Library or Gift. (Though moneyless economies imply we're achieving actual communism, going beyond socialism)
No, socialist systems like free housing, healthcare, education can exist alongside capitalism. Worker owned systems like cooperatives still operate in a market.
Are you talking about free housing (etc) programs being managed as a cooperative, alongside a commodities market of cooperatives? If yes, that's not capitalism, that's socialism. If no, then you must be talking about a welfare state like what's in Scandinavia, which isn't socialist.
Kind of relevant to both points, there are a few different schools of socialism so you could see if any make more sense to you.
Nah, plane exhaust is real and killing the planet. Just because the contrails are science and not doing mind control doesn't mean they're not still bad.
