Bottom 50% in China now have more average personal wealth than the bottom 50% in the US

No kings is a bad slogan

Remember when Pelosi said “we’re a capitalist country and that’s just how it is”? She couldn’t even be bothered to make an argument. I think that’s so exemplary and so funny.

"Leftists are so problematic, they do this and this and this..." Ok those aren't leftists then, next question.

LLM AI hasn't had any decent usage yet, but threatens society in so many different ways.

It's crazy how many people on here appeal to the supposed ideals of the Founding Fathers to criticize our situation. Grow up.

Socialism has never ‘failed’ to the degree that capitalism has ‘failed’.

Protest is effectively illegal in the USA. You cannot March or assemble without being attacked by cops. Cops break laws and violate your rights with no accountability whatsoever.

The USA is already a theocracy except instead of having a real religion everyone just says “my hatred for minorities and poor people is protected by freedom of religion”

Socialism is the answer.

During peak Covid I worked at the biggest vaccination center in my city. Christian anti-cancers interrupted our work with megaphones, and dozens of cops loitered, scrolling on their phones, protecting their ‘free speech’. I’ll never forget that.

I can’t understand literally being the richest guy on earth and throwing a tantrum because you aren’t even more rich. At that point you can’t improve your own life with money anymore, you can only make everyone else’s life worse. This is not behavior society can or should tolerate with any mercy.

Why are there so many ads like this. Who is this for.

The USSR & NASA were a lot better at launching shit into space decades ago than private industry is today. Just sayin’.

Hell yeah that’s exactly what I predicted. Shame, though.

WotC: Banding is so complicated can you believe we published that, hilarious. Anyway here’s Mutate.

The ‘Israeli tech sector’ is Fiverr, Raid Shadow Legends, and 100 types of digital calipers

So Elon is waking up with major regret, right

The USA is irredeemable. Rotten to the core.

"Socialism for the rich" is the dumbest phrase in this language. You're thinking of capitalism. Normal capitalism.

Some rich guy changed his mind, everyone stop what you're doing

We are witnessing high iq genius behavior

Incredible how Musk can rule the world and still throw a tantrum demanding more. What an evil freak.

My work began setting production quotas recentlybut they’re just setting them arbitrarily for the sake of having them instead of using any data, so I’m actually doing less work now. Incredible.

Leftists should never give an inch on the topic of “wokeness”. Even if you reject the cynical identity politics of marketing and the Democratic Party, using the term at all conflates that with real legal rights and social justice. Don’t accept the premise of the enemy.

At work… Why

WotC/Hasbro, looking at any MtG eternal format: This is ok I guess but how can we add as much power creep as possible

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today. The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

After hearing someone speak mandarin with an Australian accent I have decided to take my own life

World’s most advanced ancom theory

I kinda unironically think that if you can’t write a book about your beliefs and goals, you automatically aren’t qualified to be a world leader. This is actually something I really respect about all the old commies. They were open about exactly what they thought in an extremely intelligent way.

I don’t understand it, but I love this poem from Titus Groan, possibly my favorite book.

The popular caricature of socialist countries is that you need to have connections to the ruling party to benefit from government policy but… we’re clearly seeing that’s also how the USA works.
