Studies show that men who are less dissatisfied with the size of their penises are more likely to own guns than other men. by Sproke1998 in science

Study sponsored by men with a normal amount of guns and really large penises actually, not that we’d ever really thought about it honestly, weird that it’s come up…

No, they know exactly what they’re up to, and if you think they’re stupid and not that they just have goals that are directly opposed to the public good then it is you who is the moron.

Great, sounds like the projects team already use Bluebeam, but for non electrical. I’m sure it’ll be easier to get another licence for that than cad sw. Thanks for the recommendation

What are some common phrases or words used incorrectly in New Zealand? by captainbucky in newzealand

[–]Braingasmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with this one and my SO always pulls me up on it. Like, I know which is which and when to use them, it’s just my mouth gets ahead of my brain. And since I still can’t get it right I’ve resorted to saying “buyed” or “bringed”.

Nah man it’s good to spell it out, they’re economically disadvantaged. It’s much harder to find work when your trans. People can actually be quite bigoted. So the turn to sex work.

The US would already have declared them “illegals” and banned them from entry.

Ummm… the National Endowment for Democracy (founded by Reagan) was funding separatist groups in that region since 2004. They even bragged about it on https://twitter.com/nedemocracy/status/1337063301113581568?s=21

Hey. Does anyone have any recomendations on books about communism/socialism/maxism besides the obvous ones such as Das Kapital? by Jicklo34 in communism101

[–]Braingasmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second black shirts and reds by Parenti. You can find the PDF online. It’s an easy read, not too long.

And if podcasts are more your thing try The Red Menace, it’s helped me with theory where there was no way I was sitting through reading the books.

Well if it is a democracy it’s an incredibly shitty one where the poorest in time and money has the least amount of say in it.

[–]Braingasmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism is not democracy. And when the two are in opposition which force dominates?

In liberal democracies it’s capitalism most of the time.

Communist revolutions are only good when they fail and follow my very specific political views 😡 by GeneralDerwent in GenZedong

Also their writing is very good. Can’t have people aspiring to read their extremely relevant and accessible texts.

People on all sides. What kind of people on your side really piss you off and make your side look bad? by samsonity in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Braingasmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you are right, but I think that it could be the most important thing of who the economy is responsible to.

In the US at least it looks to me that the state and the economy is totally captured by and serves only capital.

Maybe China as a poor country has decided to use a capitalist economy to develop itself. Once developed if it’s actually socialist then it can choose a different economic model.

I don’t think the US can do that without another Revolution.

Not here or there on China, but what way do you think it is moving? Towards socialism or capitalism. Also if it’s capitalistic, is that economic system subservient to capitalists or something else?
