    lmao there’s a difference between the state taking preventing opposed organization through imprisonment of dissidents (which the US does as is, see Robert Seth Hayes) and literally creating a system that feeds disadvantaged people into an apparatus which state sponsored corporate entities can outsource cheap labor from, reducing potential job placements for actual citizens in the free market

    i’m not giving opinions im literally going by definitions given by well respected economists including the person who actually f***ing defined modern capitalism this isn’t some f***ing game about opinions when people literally starve every day because the food industry’s profit margins would shrink if they donated food

    im not disagreeing with anything to do with adam smith or original texts on capitalism?

    its not a political party, its a statement, there's nothing political about wanting equal rights in court.

    It's literal common sense

    It’s funny that people here (in my country) claim to be unable to make this distinction, but can understand the difference between being conservative and voting for the Conservative party

    Hate crime is not the same thing as general crime.

    Neither is the same thing as crime committed by law enforcement

    just read the mission statement on the blacklivesmatter website

    https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/

    " We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work.

    We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

    We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise)."

    this is completely unedited and not even trimmed up out of context

    Now tell us whats wrong with any of this

    Socialism is trash too because it’s still not possible without a global south that is inevitably being exploited for resources by the state to support existent private industries

    here’s a whole article about how socialism is not a proper solution in itself

    Or you can read Imperialism in the Twenty First Century by John Smith for a more in depth viewpoint on the issues even liberal countries face in their exploitation of Africa, South America, and Asia

    well the nordic countries aren't really socialist tho, they still operate within a global capitalist framework, just have strong safety nets.

    Off but kinda on topic, that's a classic bar from Kenny regardless of the controversy around it. Very thought provoking

    Holy s*** I did not realise its a company, just assumed it was a decentralised movement

    it is a decentralized movement, but racists wanna spout their political buzzwords to try and discount it so they can stay closeted
