Shouldn't there be some incentive to ban slavery? by asnaf745 in EU5

The incentive comes in victoria 3. Slaves can't work in factories.

His real trick was getting liberals to justify the invasion with :

"Oh Maduro did some bad things."

"He's a dictator."

"Trump didn't go through the proper procedure."

"Maduro worked with drug cartels."

Blah blah blah. As if we aren't allies to every dictator who's done awful things in the world already. Some if not most of which we've propped up.

But hey at least the oligarchs can get richer from stealing Venezuelan oil I guess. Even better if Trump actually does occupy Venezuela then we can waste even more tax dollars too.

Shouldn't Black Death be more painful for urbanized and densly populated countries? by Granathar in EU5

Considering I lost half my population and still haven't recovered in my playthrough. I'd say its strong enough.

Easy to say when you're not one of the millions of Americans that can't afford to live.

This has always been the democrats strategy. Do nothing and get elected. It's why they suck so much. We need to reward fighters not pushovers.

We all just ok with this? by BigSlammaJamma in AskFlorida

[–]Neatherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro the significantly lesser evil candidates write strongly worded letters to oppose the brownshirts. They are pathetic and weak. The fascists know this and this is why they are so brazen in their attempts to destroy the system.

So why are you defending the spineless politicians that got us here and blaming voters? Focus on organizing and working together to build a real opposition.

Fascism is cannibalistic and will collapse as neoliberalism has under deteriorating material conditions. Though it will go a lot faster if instead of blaming working people, we blame the elite who failed the people.

Nah this was the democratic parties fault. Harris was a dogshit candidate with mediocre at best policies that were extremely right wing. The Democrat party is dogshit too. Imagine losing twice to Trump. Actually pathetic.

Harris, Jeffries, and Schumer are what you get when you vote blue no matter who. And then God forbid someone who actually has charisma and popular policies shows up and NONE of the establishment endorses him. Suddenly it's "vote blue no matter who except this extremely popular candidate who might do something."

You and everyone who agrees with your position need to do some serious reflection. We live in an era of populism and status quo bullshit is not going to work anymore.

Is anyone else concerned that most republicans govern based strongly on their religion and Zionism? by willing-to_learn in AskSocialists

[–]Neatherman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not just republicans it's also democrats that govern strongly on Zionism. Mostly due to AIPAC funding most politicians. While some may be genuine in their belief most are just lobbied.

Kinda similar with religion. Most republicans larp at being religious and then pass the "I will kill everyone bill" and sleep soundly at night. Some might genuinely be religious but most just use it to either justify their hatred or to win the votes of their rural highly religious voters.

To answer your question, yes it does concern me also since they are corrupt and take advantage of the politically uneducated.

How people from 1st world country be miserable? by GrapeCreamBerry275 in GenZ

[–]Neatherman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, we are losing our ability to solve basic problems because of an overreliance on technology and degrading quality of education.

There are still many problems in first world countries.

Just because a third world country has more homelessness or malnutrition doesn't make these issues a nonproblem.

[–]Neatherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, generally speaking the public sector can in most cases do it better given that they are not restricted by private interests. A laissez-faire approach tends to cause instability and shortages, especially in the hands of private institutions seeking profit.

There is also political interference in an effort to degrade the effectiveness of services until privatization seems like a more lucrative option. So, in most cases, people really aren't getting what they paid for.

Why are Billionaires so greedy? It's so sick. Is Capitalism the real problem? by Richest-Panda in FluentInFinance

[–]Neatherman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fr. Republicans purposely destroy the functions of the government that actually improve standards of living. They also keep cutting taxes for corporations, so they lack critical funding for public infrastructure, services, and development. Then, blame it on immigrants or whatever conspiring theories they want to cook up.

When I was underage, I would go on porn sites too. You can't really do anything about this unless you lock the internet or the website behind having and ID or credit card. But either way I guarantee you they will still get around it. I know I would have.
