That makes no sense. How is our economic system highly controlled in the US? Corporations run rampant, with scant regulation compared to some places like Europe.

A government’s size being big doesn’t instantly equal less capitalism if that government doesn’t do as much as it could to reel in corporate interests.

Case in point, our government here in the US is big but is controlled by corporate interests to such a degree that despite knowing about human made climate change since the late 60s, basically nothing has actually been done about it. Or how whenever there is any push for even a public option to live alongside private insurance, insurance companies go into overdrive running ads and paying politicians to push back against it so it never gets brought up after an election season.

Capitalism is a system of economics. It can exist with or without a government also existing.

Yes as a long time PC gamer, I don’t understand why people act as if steam and valve are gods. Like ok cool it has the most games and whatever, but they’ve been going downhill. There’s so many random asset flips and porn games now, and their sales have been shit for years now. I remember games going on sale for 90% off during seasonal sales, and all the % off coupons they’d just randomly give out. That never happens now.

They spoiled each other, sure. The only reason I state her as the spoiler is because by that primary, sanders had the name recognition from his previous run. He already had a movement behind him. Warren has to build hers from scratch.

Unfortunately warren also played spoiler to sanders, helping Biden win…

As an American, I find it funny when I see other Americans shit on the French. Idk, when I think the French I think of the French revolution, which was bloody.

The French did not fuck around when they had to get shit done, whereas we Americans bitch and moan but never do shit because idk, it’s inconvenient.

I know I’m responding to this very late, but she explicitly said that despite us separating, she still wanted to work it out with me and wouldn’t see anyone else. She’d accuse me during that time of sleeping with other women (I wasn’t) and kept telling me that because she wants us to work she wasn’t seeing anyone either.

So no, it wasn’t assumed. She did owe me monogamy because she was explicitly demanding it from me, which I kept my word.

You’re not wrong. There’s nothing more American than killing brown people. Nothing. Just ask the Native Americans.

How dare you! Circles!? They must be stars!!

Explain how dropping bombs on Gaza, when they know that the hostages were taken to Gaza, was a sound decision to get the hostages back?

At this point Israel could use the threat of continuing to bomb as a way to get more hostages back. Instead as soon as the pause was lifted, they immediately returned to bombing civilians. No delay.

How much does the Israeli government pay these days to say stupid shit? I heard it pays pretty well.

Anything that hinders the GOP is a government PsyOp. Anything that helps the GOP is God’s will.

Delusional fuckers.

“trump worse” doesn’t mean that this isn’t bad. The bar is so fucking low at this point, and even then Dems can’t clear it.

I think it’s a boon to the concept of marriage. Cultists be culting.

Looks like we have another holiday to add to the calendar.

Looks like 35% of Americans still have yet to wake the fuck up.

You’re the fuckers that broke it. Now you’re trying to get outta dodge to avoid the blowback? Fuck off.

As an American, yea we kinda don’t know or care about the historical context anymore. We just get taught, and have reiterated, the whole “native Americans and colonists sat down together in peace to share a feast” aspect of it and forget the genocide and colonial violence that befell the Wampanoags.

I don’t really celebrate it anymore because celebrating it kinda feels like celebrating the massacre and enslavement of natives by a colonial European power.

If it doesn’t disrupt anything, can it even really be considered a protest?
