Suddenly the capitalists don't have a problem with expriopriations for the common good...
"Three Gazprom liquefied natural gas tankers have been seized by Germany for an indefinite period of time"
Muh capitalism
I swear no one even thinks about capitalism other than the people against it
Because people born into a system don't understand the significance of the system unless they think or read a lot about it. They don't even know something outside it exists, or think the world has always been that way.

Didnt the government open the weapon floodgate when Russia invaded?
Weapons were allowed from then on, like in the USA. And a lot of people got those weapons

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
