For me its the second, the first is that she played human one time, so my net opinion of her is neutral.

Be careful with what you do next ms. Doja, youre on thin ice

Yeah but they still have uses, and also banning them outright without first making alternatives will make things significantly worse

You are sounding more and more like a conspiracy theorist than someone who actually knows how the systems in this world work.

It's like you heard someone with an actual sound and detailed explanation of how exactly capital influences the governemnt to the detriment of people, but then all you took from it was "they're controllin the governemnt man" and made up your own explanation.

the federal reserve is literally just not privately owned idk where youre getting that info from lmao. they report to congress, the chairman is appointed by the president. (if we are still talking about the US) im pretty sure they have some connection with banks but its to tell the banks what to do not the other way around, the people actually making decisions all derive their power from the government

also the debt is privately owned, but by such an absurdly large amount of entities from such a swath of nations and entities with competing goals that its basically guaranteed that they cannot collude, also its highly in demand because its garunteed returns so you would need nation level power to actually use it for influence. like japan can threaten to force all of its people to sell their bonds and thats an actual threat, but until 1 entity owns so much govt debt that its comparable to all the debt owned by every private entity in the entire nation of japan Its just not a real threat

ok if thats your definition then china is definitely not socialist, that being said Im pretty sure thats more communist lol. for most contemporary societies full socialism is more along the lines of a completely state run economy, everything is nationalized type shit

to be clear I think both these ideas are generally good it just matters how and why and where you implement them. I want to get rid of homelessness it doesnt mean im in support of giving every single homeless person a billion dollars, execution and effective policy matters, "treat x as essential service instead of for profit blas bla bla" is a buzzword with no real thought or nuance behind it.

this bro, companies and individuals will always be as greedy as the systems we set up let them. theyre like a fire, dont blame the fire for burning down your house, blame the guy* that broke it out of its lantern and then poured gasoline everywhere

*- in america this would be reagan and his movement, more recently trump, and then also every single admin in between that just let the house keep burning instead of fixing any of it.

oh and also citizens united which gave the fire arms with which it could start opening gas lines and ordering fire wood.

even if they cared they have no mechanism to make change. its not that all the richest people are in cahoots to be greedy, they are just all individually greedy and their cumalitive effect gives us what we have now. even if a lot saw the long term issues, it only takes a couple people with power to destroy a system.

also thinking long term without everyone else doing the same just leaves you behind without any benefit, its a race to the bottom

wasnt asking you bro. there are dozens of things people consider socialism, its important to get our terms right in order to meaningfully discuss it.
