@MichaelAArouet Being a socialist in a capitalist country is an easy way for stupid people to think they are morally superior to everyone else.
It just doesn't occur to them that the unfair system they malign produces all the wealth they want to redistribute.
@Oceanbreeze473 Russians drink the most by far. Somewhere between 3-5% of their entire population is alcoholics, and the number of alcohol related deaths and disabilities is so high that several health organizations rank it as a humanitarian crisis.
@JarvisAeneas Climate change is absolutely real, and I will help fight it as soon as someone proposes a solution that doesn't ignore China, doesn't cripple our economy and doesn't put authoritarian globalists in charge of all human activity.
@JackHokie The problem is that socialized healthcare does not produce medical innovation. It only works as long as there is some country where you can get filthy fucking rich by inventing new treatments that you can then adopt without paying any of the development costs.
@NoAgwa52635@Julian01320028 Dude, literally the only reason why those countries still exist is because western countries are too sentimental to simply kill everyone and destroy their culture.
@Jukobut3 Red button.
Rewriting someone's entire personality is the same as killing them, except you have also created a new person who then has to suffer for someone else's crime. The Hitler that deserves punishment would never get it, and an innocent person would. It's evil to push blue.
@TheRealJamieKay Yea, that part totally means when an invading army shows up without weapons they get to just take your country and make you their slave.
@DelusionPosting It's the same kind of people that will smugly tell you that Santa Claus would burst into flames if he went fast enough to visit every child in one night who will then insist that Europeans hauled away every single thing of value on two continents in sailboats.
@DanielDnDYT Personally I maintain a philosophy of "For every super weird thing about your character add a really normal thing", because that maintains a good balance.
Most of the time it's the ways in which your character is totally normal that end up standing out and being interesting.
@VeryBadLlama Why is that funny? Nobody has a problem with countries trading their unique products with each other. They have a problem with the insane wealth inequality that is caused by globalist oligarchs importing everything that can be made cheaper elsewhere.
@nikicaga They were banned because apartment buildings are legally required to have two sets of stairs for fire safety, and they didn't want builders to put two sets of stairs in the same building core because that defeats the purpose of having a second staircase.
@UziCryptoo Property taxes are kind of bullshit, because they are ultimately the mechanism by which you are forced to use inflated bullshit dollars if you want to own anything of real value. You can't simply grow your own food without participating in a fake economy.
@DreamLeaf5 Right, and then you turn around and give the giant corporations insanely lucrative government contracts to provide stuff to all the poor people you created when you destroyed their small businesses.
