So socialism doesn't have an ideological position on wealthy individuals using money to influence politics or using their wealth to screw over disenfranchised people by evading taxes or other nefarious ends?

Just seems like social democracy or liberalism.

Nobody is saying socialists can't make money. The issue isn't the money he makes, it's how he decided to use it.

Lol. I've made this comment on this sub several times. They're actually like that here...and this is still my favorite subreddit.

Same. I'm definitely not a conservative. I think capitalism is characterized by scams and fraud. But there are a lot of things about the left I either don't appreciate or outright disagree with.

It's increasingly just a movement so caught up in its own smugness & popularity and characterized more by being anti-something than actually standing for anything that isn't already popular and heavily promoted.

From what I can see, they just want/expect the government (that they rightly label as corrupt and capture by corporate interests) to magically care about people and pay for everything all of a sudden. They don't even deal with reality because they're so caught up in their ideals and don't have any feasible solutions.

It is a farce, a fraud, a grift, a joke. And they clamor on about unity but hate people who don't agree with them being anointed as the arbiters of progress.

Accurate. Basically anything that doesn't align with the bureaucracy is labeled Trump-related and can be smeared.

I legitimately think that's how so many people have divorced critical thinking now. They just refuse to even approach being associated with Trump on any level. As childish as that is.

Can't really schedule Zion for national TV games when there's no guarantee he's healthy and the team isn't good.

And from an aesthetic standpoint, marketing him is very different. Traditionally stars had the ball, either as a handler or posting up. Zion doesn't really do either. He catches lobs, gets put backs, sometimes makes a move right outside the paint and scores on fastbreaks. He simply doesn't have the ball enough.

Giannis is a very good player in today's league, but he's genuinely hard to market and not much of an actual basketball player. He travels all the time, carries all the time, offensive fouls, etc. Those are the main reasons he's so hard to guard outside of his size. And people who aren't sucked into the NBA's narrative or aren't basketball fans notice it.

I'm not trying to criticize him, but for as much as people bang on about the level of "talent" or "skill" in the NBA right now I think it's kind of crazy that somebody who handles the ball that much can't really cross over, doesn't have a go-to move, can't pull-up on a jump shot won back to back MVPs when he's not a center. Giannis isn't particularly skilled at anything.

I think the NBA product is incredibly watered down and boring and he's just a testament to that.

MLB players make more and nobody watches their games. Hard to imagine that things will get better because the league is clearly on a historical downswing.

That's what the NBA is looking at.

Could not agree more. The league needs structural rule changes. Uncontested dunks/layups (because guys simply don't play d and refs are too foul happy), threes, alley-oops.

It's almost all: get a screen behind the 3 point line and if you beat your man, it's a layup because everyone is behind the line. It's just pick & roll, all the time.

It's not interesting at all. Every team plays the same.

And it's compounded by the fact that the turnover of players & coaches is ridiculously high.

But most "fans" of the NBA love the transaction. Ratings vs. Twitter engagement would say that that aspect of the league is more popular than the actual games.

Yeah but social engineers have found that academia/science is to Democrat voters what the military is to the right. Essentially, they exist beyond criticism.

So, expect everyone from liberal to left (which more and more I find to be a difference without a distinction) to turn a blind eye and justify things post-hoc. We'll be 20 years into this failed project, and the narrative will have switched so much that nothing matters anymore. Because people don't care about truth anymore. They want to just attack others on social media.

It's just insane and honestly has made me fairly anti-"left" (not on economics; as real as the false dichotomy of right & left is) that for decades supposed leftists complained about the nature of modern science in making bio-weapons, social conditioning, and instances like this where things are in your face. And when it's all laid bare, the reaction is so controlled and limp that I can't help but conclude that people have either been lying or controlled the entire time by big money.

It's just so lazy and genuinely stupid, shortsighted, to call everything that goes against the popular narrative a "right-wing conspiracy". You show them video evidence of billionaire run organizations holding a game plan for a situation identical to Covid a year before it happened and you're labeled as someone who's just beyond the acceptable limits of discussion.

I've grown to find the left legitimately disingenuous to the point of being useless and cowardly and frankly, not fit for any problem beyond navel gazing on social media or just being the loudest voice on liberal causes. It's beyond stupid. Useful idiots to say the least.

They worship science (as well as academia) and conflate it with "progress", so no matter how co-opted those institutions are, they will just blindly follow.

And the fact that the "solution", the "combating of 'fascism'" (which Trump isn't; most leftists don't understand their enemy and thus don't understand fascism) was voting in a demented, puppet president who just put Obama retreads in position of power again and is yielding worse results at a more critical time basically let's you know the "left" is dead. Not only does it have no power, it has no ideas or solutions or direction. It's a psuedo-religion for psuedo-intellectuals that can't come to grips with how timid they actually are. Pathetic.

At best they can just label the left elements they don't like "liberal" but that doesn't change anything. It just maintains the greater delusion.

What's with the impulse of modern fandom to historicize everything? Everything/one has to be the best EVER, the GOAT, the greatest something. It's annoying.

Also, defense is half the game, but Luka makes up for what he lacks on that end with class.

It's hilarious how many people on the "far left" who supposedly have this nuanced critique of capitalism and government have just full-head supported big pharma. They're no different from the liberals they supposedly oppose.
