That aligns with their chosen reality. People are simple creatures and any money will turn them into obedient slaves. The only doctor you can trust is the one who isn’t going paid because they’ve been ostracized for speaking the truth.

Alright folks, time to get into the Taiwan flag business 📈 . I have a feeling the market is about to grow, anyone invested in Ukraine flags still is a fool! 📉

That’s not my business.

What is your business then exactly? Is it property, or people? You seem to be on the side of property with no regard for the conditions of the people who exist on that property.

Didn’t you know? It’s the 20s all over again. Musolini came into power in 1922. Welcome to the 100 year backslide.

So how are they picked?

Next, you’re going to tell me skull size matters.

Governments set economic policy that directly supports and props up capitalism.

Lol imagine thinking you have an iota of democracy when you can’t even get a broken leg fixed without dying from debt. You can’t even be unemployed without it being a literal death sentence.

Imagine thinking China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and Venezuela were not made into the countries they are today through the direct interference into their political systems by the some of the 50 ciuntries you mentioned.

Democracy Now! Is a 501©3 non-profit news organization that was founded in 1996… What are you talking about? They are one of the oldest and one of the few non corporate news agencies in the country…

But keep getting your news from black rock backed sources I guess.

We wouldn’t have survived to become the species we are now if those were our “natural” traits. We’re socal creatures, we live in communities. If anything, we are now living in the least compatible societal arrangement for our species. There is evidence that even neanderthals would care for the their eldery and dead.

Greed, in my opinion is a “modern” notion designed to propagandize and misdirect away from the true culprit of our time, and that is motive. Specifically, profit motive. Greed, much like laziness, is a made up notion by the capitalist class. It implies that you can be altruistic and “fair” with your capitalistic desires, and anyone who isn’t doing as such is simply morally bankrupt.

It allows people to ascribe a personal moral failing to the capitalist, instead of analyzing the underlying motivations and structures that govern their behavior. It means people can, as temporarily embarrassed millionaires, imagine that they would never make that kind of moral failing given the opportunity.

Except, they would make that same “mistake” if they were ever given the opportunity, because capitalism demands it.

It really is like clicking through a dialog tree with these people isn’t it?

Let’s not probe any deeper then that. We might not want to learn why they’re starving.

So by that you mean, NATO/US have hard lines. Because why then would Zelensky express interest in meeting with Xi Jinping over peace talks?

The only people with hard lines here are NATO and the US.

When asked about peace the EU declined to comment.

It is exciting to watch the hands of the dooms day clock inch closer to midnight.

Should he though? He’s trying to be a debate pervert on a Lemmy post from his mastodon account. Maybe that’s deliberate, so he doesn’t have to see all the down votes.

You’ve seen how Citizen United has led to a deluge of corporate influence on politics right? And you are not sure what the issue could be with allowing Corporations to vote? How about we just skip all these middle steps and just allow the corporations to be elected directly into public office? I’m sure they’ll have the average citizens interests at heart.
