@RTSG_Seraph Literally all of that is false.

@Mbakaza4L Because the United States didn't exist then. It's not difficult

@ItsLulu_7 It hasn't any of the dozen or so times it was implemented. Also, didn't Marx leach off his father and friends, refuse to work, neglect his hygiene to the point he was covered in boils, piss away the money his father gave him to study on drinking, and repeatedly cheat on his wife?

@swd2 And what did he "do" exactly?

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

The meme accidentally answers itself.

If people are selfish, capitalism channels self interest into production, trade, and value creation.

If people are generous, capitalism leaves them free to help others voluntarily.

The system works either way.

The real contradiction is claiming people are too selfish for voluntary charity, but selfless enough to hand those same people unlimited political power.

It's socialism that requires saints in theory and produces politicians in practice.

@dhe3g Sure, and let's erase our national debt by borrowing $40 trillion from China

@micah_erfan Healthcare is excellent and last I checked, Florida is a red state and consistently ranks #1 in education.

@artbay316 @livinglife4 @MAGAVoice Its core tenets like intersectionality are taught throughout K-12. This manifests in topics like oppressed / oppressor dynamics and power-based definitions of racism. Do you think those illustrations of icebergs labeled with covert and overt racism are meant for law students?

[Charles Mitchell 🇺🇸 @Charles4Freedom]

@artbay316 @livinglife4 @MAGAVoice CRT being developed in academia doesn't prevent its teaching in K-12. It's taught in hundreds of schools across the US, from elementary through high school.

[Charles Mitchell 🇺🇸 @Charles4Freedom]

@james_mtc @mattyglesias Yet the fact remains that it is taught in K-12 throughout the country and fully supported by the largest teacher's union.

@BrettWilkinsSF @CanHeadspace458 @ShangguanJiewen They're not anything close to concentration camps. The comparison is just silly. They're nothing more than detention facilities. Meanwhile, you have torture, organ harvesting, and for ed labor in Chinese camps.

[Charles Mitchell 🇺🇸 @Charles4Freedom]

@ORoad1017 @CanHeadspace458 @ShangguanJiewen What's disgusting is the destruction of religious buildings, forced labor in camps, intentional ethic replacement (i.e genocide), torture, and organ harvesting.

@Ismael_Cis_Her @Right_Rationale @davidkersten the "other" more likely. China can control speech and block foreign influence, but at the cost of freedom. I don't know what the US needs to do, but rapid shifts in policy, asymmetric openness, and increased prioritization of non-economic and non-technical drivers isn't helping.

[Charles Mitchell 🇺🇸 @Charles4Freedom]

@Ismael_Cis_Her @Right_Rationale @davidkersten the role of the internet and social media in driving political discourse and interest in politics, the ease of creating echo chambers that result in political polarization, and the necessity of short-form discourse that degrades the quality of conversation and makes attacks on

[Charles Mitchell 🇺🇸 @Charles4Freedom]

@Ismael_Cis_Her @Right_Rationale @davidkersten The US, meanwhile, is negatively affected by political infighting, regulatory delays, increased emphasis on things that don't drive innovation or economic output, and a lack of long-term consistency in policy among other things.

[Charles Mitchell 🇺🇸 @Charles4Freedom]

@Ismael_Cis_Her @Right_Rationale @davidkersten There are many reasons. China has 4 times our population, they profited immensely by the theft of IP (about $600B per year) and copying the best of the west's ideas, and they have an authoritarian one-party system that despite all its negatives can deliver economically.

@PUNlSHEDJesus You can't leave the country without getting you and your family killed. You can't consume foreign media without getting killed. There's mass surveillance on an unprecedented scale. There's no independent press, no freedom of religion, no choice where you live...etc.
