The basic premise of Western Propaganda is that propaganda doesn't happen to you and only happens to other people in other countries who you're supposed to hate and discount. Therefore, everything we say is true and everything they say is false. No need for independent thinking.
@barbarismcrit And the separation of them is a post modern flaw, a bit like body/soul separation in philosophy (it doesn’t exist). Capitalism is a social system, which shapes its own psychological terrain to advance itself. No such thing as an economic system which isn’t a social one.
@barbarismcrit Capitalist psychology isn’t meant to question capitalism anymore than religious psychology questions itself. Ideology is resilient b/c it doesn’t question its own assumptions; capitalist education doesn’t either (is as much a social/psychological system as it is economic).
OPINION: If there were any real profit to be extracted from SpaceX, Anthropic or OpenAI at the offering valuations, do you honestly think they would allow the public RETAIL investors to have all that profit?
Not on your life. Insiders would gobble up all the shares and reap all the profits for themselves.
They aren't taking these companies public because they have angelic hearts and want to "spread the wealth" to the masses while reducing their own take-home wealth. They are taking them public because they need a new wave of bag holders so the insiders can cash out.
If you're buying these IPOs at retail, you're the bag holder. You're the sucker. The insiders are done frontrunning the entire scheme and YOU are their exit cashout.
The only real way to profit from IPOs these days is to be on the ISSUING side of the IPO, while talking up your bag so that the public masses line up to buy your overpriced shares.
A LOT of Trump supporters are bots. A lot of red pillers, the right, and maga are also bots. A lot of liberals and democrats accounts are also bots. It’s one giant CIA projectz; all US politics is and there are no exceptions, not Massie or Tucker.
@pickle_nick1995@Littoria14 Close. But the original intent was a gay-op from the outset as well.
Your neighbors are your friends and trading partners. Russia/USSR was not an enemy of Germany but “based Germany” was nothing more than the fist of capital; a front for western bankers, just like Ukraine.
Just so everyone is clear, the gripe here is that China is destroying the profits of the western bourgeoisie, because they are forced to make their products cheaper to compete with Chinese competitors.
This is the central argument of 100% of all western economic analysis of China. The more affordable China's products, the more it destroys their monopolies and their profit margins.
As always, the purpose of such propagandists, as well as their "elected" governments, is to make the interests of the bourgeoisie appear like the national interests of their respective countries. It's the first rule of bourgeois economics: What's good for the bourgeoisie is good for the proletariat.
