@PushDemsLeft Hitler may have based the idea on manifest destiny but the actions taken are entirely different, despite both being bad literally everything the US has done including combat deaths doesnt come close to the holocaust, holodomore or great leap forward.
@thesoypill A thief, by the nature of his actions, is willing to risk his own life and the owner's life to steal. Condemning the use of force to defend private property only makes sense if you see private property as immoral. A view shared exclusively by spiritual thieves.
Capitalism doesn’t reward skill, talent, or hard work in the abstract. It rewards creating value that other people voluntarily pay for, especially when that value scales.
Neurosurgeons earn ~$900k/year median and become multi-millionaires. They just can’t treat millions of patients at once. Their skill is highly rewarded; it just doesn’t scale like software or a platform.
Artists and creators do get extremely rich when they scale: Taylor Swift (~$2B), J.K. Rowling, top musicians, actors, etc. The ones who stay poor usually don’t reach a mass audience.
Cleaners and laborers are paid based on the market value of their work. Hard work is real, but abundant, low-skill labor is easy to substitute, so the wage is lower. Capital + organization multiplies the output of labor.
Your test is measuring the wrong thing. Capitalism is a system of voluntary exchange and scalable value creation, not a purity contest for abstract merit.
@jeremyct If you can only pay the minimum payment you cannot afford the loan, and if your future job cannot grant enough to pay the minimum then you should get that degree. Also 34k? Just pay that shit out right thats literally chump change these days
@RobertStevenso9 The only reason Australia is a better place in 2026 than it was in 19whater is because of technology improvements. The state has only made things worse but technology has offset that at least for now
@rb17460 This is actually perfect, tells you exactly what to do, and all the ingredients in a single table.
I've never come across a better way to write a recipe
Lmao the amount of pro communist tweets i see where the poster limits who can see it is sad, they cant defend their views so they just dont allow a response
@yomifan25 In Australia we have universal health care, the average aussie earns 108k and pays roughly $4-6k in tax related solely to health care. My total private healthcare bill is 3300. So no goverment health care is not cheaper.
@JucheAffirmer Humanoid robotics could literally end manual labour and increase productivity a thousand fold, and the lessons learned from the roadster could go into making cars safer with crash or roll-over avoidance.
Lid stuck to bottle is just annoying.
@LisaA311 Exactly the mind set of a child, you simply assert these things with no idea how to implement them without massive negative 2nd order effects.
And you completely ignore the fact that their are other ways of achieving the stated goals that dont involve gibs me dats
@IqraBooklover Assuming no out side help Somalia would win every battle but they wouldn't be able to beat Rome. Rome just has to survive long enough for Somalia to run out of food and ammo.
@Renegade_Ankor@Tandara454 Also somalia doesnt have 1 jet. They have 11 helicopters and ~7drones. Each woth a range <500km and somalia is 400km from the nearest Roman province they could theoretically fuck up Egypt but then they run out of fuel and supplies.
@Renegade_Ankor@Tandara454 How many sorties could they do into rome before running out of fuel and ammo, also remember the nearest roman outpost is 400km from somalia and rome itself is 4,500km away. Somalia doesnt have the capacity to reach out and kill rome but rome has the capacity to tank somalia.
@slazsoave7014@Tandara454 The person with the AK would have to kill enough of the 5k people to scare off the entire legion in 1-3 minutes bases on the effective range of the AK.
But thats not the reason why rome can win, rome out numbers somalia 3:1 and is a functioning state. Somalia cant feed its self
