  • Liberalism and its “freedom” hasn’t taken root because:

    1. Liberals fucked the whole region in the first place.

    2. Shareholder profits are not going to inspire the masses to take up arms and fight.

    Liberalism cannot provide a better future for anyone, so the people turn towards the groups who try to provide a change.

    Extremely funny you say this in this situation since there is a group here fighting for freedom and democracy but they’re stinky reds, so you’ll hate them.






  • That’s all neat but there’s a few problems with advocating this approach as a solution to anything.

    1. The supply chain problem mentioned by the other reply to your comment.

    2. The economic viability for this approach from both the side of supply and demand.

    Local, especially “ethically” produced goods are usually much more expensive, and when people are barely making ends meet.

    It’s also much harder to expand a business that sources their goods “ethically” and so on.

    1. This is just not a solution. It’s an individualistic approach to an institutional problem.

    Companies are largely not accountable, there is largely no economic democracy (vote with your dollar doesn’t count), and increasingly all matters of government are once again captured by large corporations and wealthy individuals.

    The solution here cannot be to just consume better, something needs to change drastically.
