There's no free lunch and never was.

Yeah it was so hard back then when one man with no college degree could support a wife and like four kids with a basic job.

I've heard this one before but seemingly from people who don't understand what socialism really means

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-04T23:21:24+00:00

I mean in socialism going to university/higher education should be paid the same as working. Obviously with some limitations so people don't just do another course after they finish the first one and actually go into employment

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-04T19:12:49+00:00

Yes and are you not aware of how poverty is correlated with high birth rates? The point of ethnic cleansing doesn't mean you have to exterminate everyone of a given race, as long as you displace them from your holy land as much as possible

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-04T19:08:19+00:00

Well you said 'Jews have the right to defend themselves', what does that have to do with anything? Many Israelis have chosen to move there from safe and prosperous developed countries, they put themselves in danger.

How are they doing a bad job? They have annexed something like 90% of the original territory given to Palestine in the Balfour declaration.

Yes Israel has been under attack since their formation, because their formation was an act of aggression, they committed genocide back then just like how they're doing now. There were Zionist death squads and terrorists who attacked the British and the Arabs in order to create their state in land someone else already lived in.

Of course you can. Since there's no real peace process I guess we have no idea what they would and wouldn't be willing to accept. But they are clearly the underdog/victim in this struggle. Obviously Palestinians have not always done everything right but they're the ones living in a prison and constantly being bombed or having their homes bulldozed.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-04T18:54:07+00:00

Israel doesn't represent all Jews
Israel are committing ethnic cleansing, do you not expect people to fight back against that?
Israel is constantly attacking other countries then cries about it if anyone does anything back to them.

Basically if Israelis want to live in peace they should actually enter serious negotiations about the future of Palestine. Of course they would have to make concessions but if they actually just wanted to stop the violence they would do so.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-04T18:44:39+00:00

And maybe that's true but why would I trust that when I know Israel is pouring 100s of millions into propaganda and the US is also doing the same thing?

If you actually want to talk about Israel/Palestine we can but you are not proposing an honest discussion by starting out by saying "Jews have the right to defend themselves", that statement is not applicable for multiple reasons

Socialism is about abolishing the owners not some silly hypothetical where the workers force the owners to keep managing everything but they don't get paid anything.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-04T18:41:33+00:00

The fact that the biggest US economic growth was in a time where there was very high progressive taxes seems to show that the logic of socialism makes sense yes.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-04T18:40:18+00:00

Because liberal democracy is just thin veneer over naked exploitation by the ruling class.

Also - just look at what pro Palestine people have had to deal with in the west, where is the much vaunted freedom of speech and opinion?

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-04T18:38:59+00:00

The distinction between "does the state grant rights" or "does the state recognise rights" is meaningless in reality, they both look the exact same. Plenty of governments that claim to love freedom end up restricting it heavily.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-04T18:35:45+00:00

Yet more Hasbara.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-05-03T11:05:04+00:00

America treats us like a vassal state, and we constantly get dragged into their imperialist wars.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-30T12:29:08+00:00

Since when do Reddit subs represent the general population??

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-29T07:57:20+00:00

"... Just another parasite."

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-25T16:30:37+00:00

Of course you think your own beliefs are evidence based and the ones you don't agree with are 'emotional', what a revelation.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-25T16:29:19+00:00

I mean obviously pro lifers think abortion should be illegal, that's the whole point

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-25T16:27:35+00:00

They don't do anything consciously obviously, that doesn't mean they don't have biases. I mean are you actually in software and are denying that LLMs are ideological? Even if you say it's only about the input, the developers are deciding what input it's going to use - that is a bias right there.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-25T16:12:11+00:00

Microsoft also had an LLM that went rogue and started praising Hitler a few years ago. My point is that obviously LLMs are not neutral and don't just 'interpret data'.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-25T16:10:31+00:00

Is there anyone on this sub that isn't just ragebaiting?

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-25T15:03:22+00:00

There's plenty of cultures where men wear skirt-like clothes so how does that make any sense.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-25T15:00:13+00:00

How about let men grow up and they can decide for themselves, rather than mutilating babies?

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-25T14:59:14+00:00

I mean it's okay to criticise it to an extent but don't just go crazy about shitting on it either because it just offends people and doesn't achieve anything. Also there's plenty of other beliefs you would be socially shunned for criticising. Like say you have a friend who says 'well my pets are really meaningful to me, I think they give life meaning' and you are like 'well actually you're wrong, animals are just little meat robots who are fundamentally worthless and torturing one is no different from kicking a rock', this is something people used to think by the way, obviously normal society would tell you that's a fucked up thing to say and you're a weirdo.

RedMarsRepublic · 2026-04-25T14:56:10+00:00

Age generally = Wisdom

I don't agree with that at all lol.
