Accurate. With the government at least there is the potential for redress of grievances. Corporations don't care, won't care, and increasingly don't have to. All of mankind's greatest achievements were through collectivism.
This is the shittiest poem I've ever read.
How about "Don't Hate Me Because My Getty Money is Beautiful"?
"So we're gaining more rain forests and crop land? I'm no denier"
So we're going with "spectacularly ignorant" then?
Dunno, they don't seem ignorant. Colonizers sure
Fuck off Nazi sucker.
He literally said Islam was the greatest danger. Sources abound. Learn to Internet, coward.
Did you choose freely to be a Nazi or were you trained by your parents?
They didn't make capitalism to be nonfunctional.
There's no "they" that made capitalism intentionally. It evolved, it wasn't designed. But if it had been, it would have been designed to keep the wealthy on top and the rest of us under foot, and that's what it would have been doing when functioning "correctly". Adam Smith has been called by many the father of capitalism, but that's nonsense. He was describing the workings of a system which predated him.
Capitalism was arguably created (though still not invented) by the merchants who superseded kings. The monarchs needed money, but they needed the people with the talent for making it to collect it, and those people gained their own power and moved the levers. But they were competitors more than collaborators, which is the only reason we haven't all been completely screwed for centuries already. If they cooperated and carved us and our resources up among them deliberately they would have subjugated us all long ago. Now technology has made it possible to meaningfully control the mobb instead of just hoping to lead it to where you want it to go.
All hands on deck for the imminent flooding to be caused in SoCal by hurricane Polo. Baja was already flooding hours before the storm arrived, and the big cities down there are paved over and can't absorb anything, so it's practically 100% runoff in populated areas. Fingers crossed for it to be a lot better than I'd fear.
But I also live in Humboldt county now, this area is known for floods, and the city I live in is mostly a glorified sand bar in the Eel...
If you ask them, no doubt they will tell you it's necessary, they will fear government spies.
But the fact that China has to put these methods in place tells you that smart people want to leave.
On the other hand, leaving the US is complicated, this country sees us as its property and wants our money even after we go! There's more similarity than difference there.
It may not work now, but eventually even the US will be dragged into modern times, kicking and screaming.
I hope you're right because right now the kicking and screaming is from people being dragged to concentration camps.
The terrorists are right. America is bad.
OK, Ivan.
Literally not what he said. He said Islam was the primary danger. Too bad he had no awareness of how shit Christianity is
