        It’s only us vs the billionaires! Don’t let them try to pit us against each other!

        Anyone who owns more than two houses deserves to die!

        Anyone who works X job is a bastard, no matter how much good they do.

        No, I will not run for local elections.

        No, I will not give up Xitter I need it to follow my niche artists despite them having accounts on multiple other platforms including BlueSky.

        No I will not give up Facebook. I need it to poke meemaw and check the marketplace for things I’ll never buy or sell because Craigslist amirite?

        At least all you twats use ETA less than they do on reddit. That bugs me way more than it should.

      There’s also the part that is into crushing with a tank people who don’t hate the USA more than anything in the universe.

        Honestly I feel like most people on here are just tired of the ultra-capitalistic hell neoliberalism threw us into and want a better system that doesn’t rape dry the Earth and doesn’t allow companies to have the same wealth as entire states. Those people you mention are just a very loud, screaming minority.

          I’m part of these people, I think most of them are social democrat and don’t have any illusion about supposedly socialist countries.
          Yes, they are a minority since .world became the biggest player, but they are still very visible if you mention those subjects and countries, they are going to pop up.

          Nothing makes you understand why capitalism does not work in reality than living in the US for any amount of time while making less than 8 figures a year.

              That’s the thing you people don’t seem to understand, I’d rather live here but in a country that’s actually based on a logical system of resource distribution. Only cowards like capitalists flee instead of improve things.

                Ah… so let me get this straight. So instead of being poor in a capitalist country, you’d rather be poor in a communist country?

                Edit: JFC dude. Why are there so many of these types on Lemmy

                  Yes, absolutely I’d rather be poor in a country that does not criminalize poverty.

                  And I stand by the fact the unlawful military attacks by the US caused 9/11 as a rational response.

                  Save your mental health, just block them once they are clearly identified, it’s not worth the effort at all.

                    But there’s so many of them lol. It’s exhausting. I don’t know what’s worse, the far left or the far right. They’re both incredibly annoying

                    All he’s saying is “America bad” and then saying he wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. You should look up what whataboutism is

              Really? Are you really genuinely ignorant or you simply can’t fathom that non-US people not only exist but also lead happier lives?

                No, he’s not. He’s talking about supposedly-socialist people in the USA who idealize vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China, and think they would have a better life in these countries.

                  The Russian Federation isn’t socialist in any way. China has a Socialist Market Economy, that’s true, but nobody idolizes Russia nor do they believe they would live a better life there.

                    I agree, but I believe they don’t like being called like that and they think they are defending socialism.

          Most of the world’s commies actually live in China, strangely enough.
