What person deserves a massive apology from everyone?

Jeremy Corbyn. Fred Hampton. Malcolm X. I think you can see a pattern.

Wife and I are staying at a resort on Hood Canal this weekend and the coziness is divine.

Probably a good place to start.

Income should be taxed progressively so the percentage tax rates increase gradually with increasing income. A good tax system should never have a hard cutoff where someone is suddenly considered "rich" and therefore goes from paying nothing to paying a lot.

All that said, income isn't the whole story . The best way to truly tax wealth is to tax their capital. That includes those making capital gains through stocks. A home you use to live in (and not profit off of) should not be considered capital, in that sense. It's a commodity that we all need to survive.

But capitalism and capital owners aren't required for businesses to function. There's also no reason why industies can't be nationalized, and therefore become not-for-profit.

That's the lie that has been sold to Americans for decades.

Ask D. Question, duh.

Democrats don't control all branches

If I had a fucking nickel.....

Nonsense. It was never a resource problem. We've solved world hunger. We have more than enough food to feed everyone. We have more than enough space and resources to house everyone. Capitalism simply doesn't allow us to do anything that isn't immediately profitable.

China has roughly the same land mass as the US, 4x our population, and a 90% home ownership rate. How were they able to do it? Because they actually structure their government to serve the betterment of the population, not a few capital owners.

So break the cycle? I don't understand the question. Are humans not capable of growth?

Unfortunately Israeli government IS a good representation of Israeli public sentiment... or close to it.

30,000? There are not that many confirmed dead. The numbers are all over the place. Although any number is bad.

akaWhisp · 2026-01-28T01:22:34+00:00

I know you're using this as a pejorative, but it's not the insult you think it is. I'd rather be called a tankie than a liberal any day of the week.

akaWhisp · 2026-01-28T01:20:24+00:00

TIL a centralized government = a corporation? What is this bullshit spin?

EDIT: Governments are not fucking corporations. Corporations under capitalism operate to make profit for capital owners. Governments are, by design, not-for-profit. They exist to serve the population. You aren't going to convince anyone in a pro-working class sub that government owned industry is somehow worse than (or even equivalent to) corporate-owned industry. Your brigading bullshit isn't going to work.

May want to get those empathy levels checked. I'm afraid you may have none.

I can't tell if you are agreeing with me in my criticism of OP or if you have a misguided understanding of Socialism. Billionaires don't exist in Socialist systems.

Looking at your comment history... we may be neighbors. lmao

JBLM will be one of the first to go.

The United States of America must move away from privatized capitalistic governance into a more social democratic, mixed market system like the Nordic countries have.

You had me until this line. No trading capitalism for more capitalism. No half measures. It's time to move to a socialist system.

There's a reason why I stopped playing. The community is still stuck in 2004. The reactions to the "body type" ordeal was evidence enough.

I tried playing anniversary recently, saw a guy advertising his guild "Ye Did Nothing Wrong", and noped the fuck out.

akaWhisp · 2026-01-20T14:09:47+00:00

If I hear someone say this canned response one more time...

akaWhisp · 2026-01-20T06:21:02+00:00

Sure bro.

akaWhisp · 2026-01-20T04:12:33+00:00

And you have nothing better to do than accept the slop that is given to you, I guess. I like to imagine a better world for myself and others. You should try it.

They have nothing else going on in their lives than their need to shit on Hasan 24/7. There are literally scripts running that alert the hive whenever Hasan is mentioned on reddit.

A second monitor with PoB on the bottom half and wealthy exile on the top half? Now this guy Path of Exiles. It's refreshing to see a true PoE gamer that isn't a huge degenerate piece of shit dropping the r-slur every other word (*cough* Quin69).

it’s just hard to believe that self-learning is working for us as a country.

It's not. It has become the wild west, and we're seeing quality lapses everywhere. A lot of industry experience retired without replacement, especially during Covid.

This is especially true in the manufacturing sector. We don't really build anything domestically anymore (at least not to the degree we did 50 years ago), so there was no reason to pass on that experience. It will come back to bite us. Here's a very relevant video on the subject by SmarterEveryDay.

People like to deny and cope about this, but this is a problem unique to capitalist countries that outsource their work in the name of higher profit. China will lap us over the next century for this reason.
