Do you want to be heard or do you want to be understood?

Shouting ACAB might give you attention but it won't help in changing anyone's mind. The opposite is true.

And when we act, we make other people sad.

"On September 16, 1940, the United States instituted the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, which required all men between the ages of 21 and 45 to register for the draft."

When rich kids fight next to poor kids you will have politicians think twice before they start a war.

We dehumanize them to make the necessary act of killing them easier for us.

It's not about degrading them or anything. It's about staying sane. If you would treat every dead Russian soldier as an individual who had dreams at one point, your sanitary would be the next victim of this war.

When you defend your country you can't have that, so you kill orks instead of humans. When the war is over, there will be a lot of work for therapists I guess.

I think that sometimes huge props are used in movies or commercials. Maybe this was once used in a Malboro ad...

Don't use your Chinese propaganda for that.

Chinese propaganda? China is the most capitalistic countries of em all...

It's not capitalism, it's greed and bribery.

The government not building infrastructure and rather hand the task over to the private sector is not a problem of capitalism? Dude... It's a prime example of downsides of capitalism and it goes hand in hand with greed and bribery. Don't get me wrong because I think capitalism is a reality we live in and it has some upsides aswell.

I live in Germany and we have very bad internet compared to some eastern European country's. That's because the conservative party decided in the 80s that our internet would have to use copper instead of fiber optic cables.

20 years later we learned that decision was made because the private sector had huge interest in laying copper so they could sell cable TV.

Yes but see...

The users of starlink just pay for the costs Elon had to bring those satellites up there and keep them running.

The global costs aka total costs on society will be payed by us all.
