  • I don’t even understand who he’s incited terror on apart from CEOs. But they all got afraid in the GFC and no one got charged with terrorism in Wall St. No one got charged with anything and they intentionally, therefore treasonously, destroyed their nation’s economy and the lives of millions on such a scale it spread over the world.


  • No. I have moderate prosopagnosia. But I assume they’re CEOs despite the guy putting his hand on a Karen.

    I think the top one in the centre is King Charles. And bottom-left of that is Bezos. And the guy next to the big head guy is Zuckerberg, but looks more like Eminem. The rest is too hard and many just all look the same.


  • Always? The “classical” in your article does not mean what you think it does. Just like post-modernism doesn’t mean “the future”. Capitalism didn’t even exist in the era it’s referencing, rightfully referring to laissez faire instead—something capitalism would eventually arise from.

    One of the strongest criticisms of capitalism by liberals is its failure to achieve a moral and equitable distribution of resources. The violation of social freedoms for sake of a market’s freedom. Markets obv play a vital role in driving economic growth but persistent issues such as corruption and institutional weaknesses prevent social justice.

    Even Adam Smith criticised laissez faire in the end because, surprise surprise, it was yet another great idea on paper that was incompatanle with human nature. The result is the freedom of some encroaching on the freedom of others; i.e. fundamentally anti liberal.

    A liberal will support freedom in a market but never support the exploitation or inequality of individual freedoms, such as the outcomes of pure capitalism. Someone that claims to be a liberal while their ideals strip people’s liberties is a fucking wolf in sheep’s clothing.




  • It’s quite clear to me that almost no one in the US—or those “educated” by US politics on social media—has any fucking idea what a “liberal” fundamentally is and always has been. It’s going to become another one of those great terms ruined by a takeover of idiots—not that I’m directly calling your mom an idiot.

    But ffs, when the French gifted that statue, it wasn’t because they were pro-capitalism, burning books, fucking off women’s rights, and bringing the legal system into every facet of society.

    For as far back as I can remember, my mates and I have used the term “peacocking” to describe the more "physically focused* males. And it works. Not for anyone we’ve found attractive, but they get “chicks” and “birds”.

    ILS is probably the most commonly knownn of the many feather fluff tactics.



  • The same Canaanites from Noah’s son because after everyone was killed by a flood, God deemed Canaan’s blood the good people worth saving?

    He sure seemed to fuck it up and have to wipe out humans quite a few times. But that’s what you get for putting a tree in Eden for no other reason but to introduce sin to the innocent and trick humans into thinking Lucifer was the evil one.

    And now he loves America. Just don’t tell the Italians.

    Starting to see a pattern of bad outcomes for whoever makes a deal with this guy at the time…

    A pet store franchise in Australia recently just rebranded themselves at “Pet-O”.

    With the Australian accent, it’s “pedo”.

    So I wonder things like this got past that many people without someone saying, “Maybe Fat Balls isn’t a smart choice.”
