I fucking hate people that act like they escaped the matrix because they drive a personally owned vehicle.

Like wow you're really showing us public transit welfare queens what true independence looks like, gripping a steering wheel in a vehicle they can only legally operate with a government-issued license, on a road built and maintained by the government, cleared of snow by government workers driving government-owned trucks, fueled by government-subsidized oil, and parked in government-funded lots. Let’s not forget they had to go to a government building, talk to a government employee, and pay a government fee just for the privilege of registering their car — which they’re also legally required by the government to insure. And after all that bureaucratic red tape and recurring fees, they have the audacity to act like they're the icons of self-sufficiency. The cherry on top? If their precious symbol of ‘independence’ breaks down, the government isn’t going to help — they get to shoulder the repair costs entirely on their own.

Meanwhile, I swipe a card once a month and get access to a system that moves people efficiently, doesn’t ask for my blood type, and doesn’t require me to pour thousands into maintenance and paperwork — and I’m the one supposedly suckling at the teat of Big Government?

Ok.

Except psychoactive substances don't yield the same results for everyone.

Like imagine trying to punish someone and they just have a really good trip lol. You know what, I take it back, we should definitely do this. Also, I'm becoming a bank robber.

It's a "science" manufactured to justify neoliberalism and a failing global capitalist system.

I'm a STEM person, so I thought I'd take an economics class in college and it's all basically voodoo. The textbook contradicted itself all the time and the reasoning was full of fallacies. Do not recommend.

I think we should just tie them to the middle of the road on the route of the Tour de France.

Carrots have way too much sugar?? To go in a cake?? Wut

Citizens United is the most ideologically capitalist thing ever tho.

Can't wait for the day history books day something like "...and in their fervour to defeat communism and Russia, they failed to notice Russia sneaking in their back door."

Well they're Nazis so that makes sense.

That's what they mean when they say fascism is capitalism in decline.

Point still stands. Nature doesn't owe anyone a logical explanation.

Legacy media has also never defeated fascism.

Do imperial powers see it as intervention when they’re interfering in the politics of what they consider to be their colonies or backyard? You're right — the idea that the U.S. was ever truly isolationist in the strictest definition of the term is a myth. What they actually were/are is a kind of imperial exceptionalism: the U.S. avoids entanglements with other empires while actively dominating weaker nations, usually outside the scope of mainstream historical narratives. 'Isolationism' is a term imperial nations use to describe their non-interference with peer empires — not their restraint toward the rest of the world. So yes, it often does only apply when you're not interfering with other white or Western powers. It doesn’t mean they weren’t acting imperially elsewhere — just that they weren’t stepping on another empire’s toes. That doesn’t make imperialism right — it just means your use of the term 'isolationist' is historically inaccurate. Something something, don't use the master's tools.

Also the point of democracy is to be inefficient. It slows the process of enacting law so other people can voice their concerns. If you're looking for an efficient government, some dictator telling everyone what to do is super efficient. It gets a lot done real fast.
