Capitalism is when there is a capitalist class that owns the means of production in order to extract surplus value, and a working class that uses the means of production in order to create value.

The truest capitalism would be a society where one individual owned everything and everyone else had to work under that individual.

Capitalism does not care - and never has cared - about people’s ability to buy stuff. That’s why market crisises happen. It’s the result of capitalists taking more than the workers can afford to lose.

There have been times when the capitalist class has cooperated with the demands and needs of the working class. That’s called a mixed economy, and as the name suggests, it’s a compromise between capitalism and socialism and therefore far from “true” capitalism.

My theory about V (in the graphic novel) is that

Sexual liberation and autonomy is a big part of V for Vendetta. I’m probably wrong about my theory but I just think it fits the rest of the message of the graphic novel.

Ne.

The “minimum support threshold” for Germany’s MMP voting system is 1% of the voters. Without even taking things like gerrymandering and strategic voting into account, the threshold for a first-past-the-post system like in the U.S. is often well over 40% of the voters. An absurd difference.

Sure, MMP is not perfect. No system is. But it’s extremely much better than FPTP.

Paladin Danse goes out of character in order to admire the U.S.S. Constitution (a robot-owned ship no less) even though the BoS hates the U.S. for nuking half the world. He then goes on to view Chinese ghouls as evil for being Chinese.

Hancock is not really a charicature or satire of American patriotism. The devs clearly want him to just be a patriot.

The minute men have blatantly nationalistic aesthetics (including their general dressing himself like George Washington). They camp out in the so very subtle “Museum of Freedom”.

None of these things are done ironically. These people who live in a world destroyed in equal parts by the U.S. and China should logically hate everything the U.S. was and claimed to stand for. Instead, they constantly brown-nose a country that no longer exists.

Nobody in Fallout 1, 2 and NV (except for the Enclave) would ever consider pre-war U.S. as a force for good or something to look back to with pride. The Enclave are the bad guys for good reasons.

The only actual joke patriotism in Fallout 4 is Moe and his Swatters.

Todd Howard saw a scathing critique of the United States’ red scare era and thought to himself “this game loves United States ultra-patriotism and the 50’s aesthetics”.

Yes-men are the least of his problems.

That is not a proportional system of representation.

No system that creates a large amount of election “losers” can ever be fully democratic. If you vote for the second most popular party, or the third most popular, et cetera, you should still be given representation.

An ML propaganda source, an irrelevant youtuber with no viewers, a technically legit article but only about the “special economic zone” AKA the only place in NK with any prosperity, a random twitter user saying that the Black Panthers interacted with and were interested in Juche (that proves absolutely nothing about NK), a broken link and a joke video about haircuts.

Your sources are absolute trash and you know it. The only money NK makes is by selling arms to Russia, and hoping for naive tourists to bring foreign currency. They have relied on food aid from the US every year since the starvation in the early 90’s.

We both know that you are an insane Marxist-Leninist who will discard any real sources as “cia propaganda” or “liberal lies” so instead I’m going to demand from you any proof for your insane ramblings that don’t come from either North Korean propaganda or Marxist-Leninist sources!

I’ve had enough of ML bullshit propaganda! YOU need to provide sources for YOUR outlandish claims! We both know you’re lying on purpose. You’re refusing to see a truth that would only require a simple Wikipedia or Youtube search. Because you probably view all real sources as fictional and all fictional sources as real.

North Korea is one of the poorest, most corrupt and most oppressed countries in the world. You are delusional.

Are you saying that North Korea’s ethnonationalist “self-sufficiency” policies have been a success?

The opposite of multiculturalism is incestculturalism. The opposite of “race-mixing” is “incest-mixing”.

Use language to make people understand why a constant inflow of new cultural trends and new genetic variety is a good thing. The alternative is bad for everyone, and always has been.

The best example of a country that opposes multiculturalism and “race-mixing” is North Korea. Poverty, drug abuse, corruption and ignorance are the “glorious” results of ethnonationalism.

Local repetition exists but global repetition does not. Think of it like wallpaper. There is no way to put this “pattern” on a wallpaper in such a way that two identical strips of wallpaper fully match each other at the edges.

Look at a more zoomed out version to see it clearly. It always looks close to being repeating but then you see a part that’s just a little bit off.

Something in a similar vein for her specifically to consider:

Changing your last name to Bolsonaro does not make you related to the president of Brazil.

I was thinking TurboQueef but that works too.

Normally I get angry at these pathological liars but this lie is so absurdly stupid that it’s actually funny.

Imagine someone driving their van to a parking lot near the white house and then going “Welp, better strap on my suicide nuke that will obliterate the entire city. I see no other way of doing this.”

Having voter’s remorse in 2017 is reasonable and justified. Voting for Trump in 2024 means that you are a very bad person. That’s the difference.

Also, people blame the Republican party all the time, including in this instance.

Also, people blame nonvoters all the time.

Also, more than one kind of person exists on Lemmy. You wouldn’t say “IRL blames democratic party” because that sentence makes no sense. The same is true for what you just wrote.

TL;DR: you couldn’t be more wrong than you are.

Here in Sweden it used to be praxis for parties in parliament to abstain rather than voting no if they opposed a proposed government for whom they had no better alternative.

Then the nazis came into parliament and threw that praxis out the window and thus ruined a system that had worked great for over half a century.

“The global south” is a well-established concept that has replaced the concept of the “third world” since the collapse of the soviet union (the “second world”).

Nonsense. It gives the same benefits that a simple massage does but a massage doesn’t put you at risk of paralysis or death.

It’s quackery.
