Controversial General Political Discussion

[Jesse Pinkman]

Today I learned that the bottom 50% of China on average are wealthier on a ppp basis than the bottom 50% in the US, that´s fucked up..

Funny thing is till 80s it was not bad but until Reagan arrived that’s where 1% especially Billoonaire saw the benefits from his tax cuts . The man literally fooled everyone especially the Rust belt by weakening unions , deregulation in finances .

It’s a continued saga Reagan , Bush and Trump it’s just different version .

Yep that’s the flaw with current system , Bernie warned how big buck controls the world .

Reagan was earliest version of Orangeman , it’s same template being used in almost in every western world . Corporate dictates things .

Musk , Bezos and Zuckerberg are biggest criminals in my opinion they are doing daylight robbery meanwhile the middle class is busy talking woke , transgender stuff times are really bad we are living in shit timeline to be fair .

GATT 1994 and founding of WTO as successor was under Clinton.
To me it seems like the financial and political elite, regardless of party, have screwed 80% of the US population, but in 2025 people are still playing the party game...
And there were people warning about it, see below.
It´s not even the inequality, it is the absolute

It’s not because they live in the US that they are more informed. But I guess you weren’t asking about being informed. Anyway, I don’t believe in the theory that says that people’s opinions who live next to an event are more legit just because of geographical proximity.

Examples are many. Wether it’s environmental issues or political or wars and even genocides.

It depends on availability and reliability of news sources. There is plenty of coverage for most places in Europe or the Usa, but say we are debating pakistan-india-china,i would take the word of a local over some reporter.

There is no capitalism anymore, just corporativism. Don't be fooled, the left isn't fighting for the people. They are part of the problem.

Capitalism is not collapsing any time soon

Thank God. Metacapitalism (corporativism) still beats socialism/communism any day of the week.

Because capitalism can mold itself to be anything

don’t let republicans fool you into believing government does stuff = anti capitalist

@Uncle Van @TheAncientCenturion @Mr. Reloaded do you guys think ICE is in the wrong?? cause as an outsider their actions look pretty reasonable to me

They literally mistakenly deported a man

Our legal system has due process for a reason. It’s literally build upon “rather have 100 guilty men free than an innocent man in prison”

Oh boo hoo, Talking about that Criminal "from" Maryland. He was right where he belonged in El Salvador. But y'all whined and complained that he's going to face even worse fate now. Good job, y'all played yourselves.

Tone deaf must be in style these days here.

Unfortunately for you due process exist. If he was where he “belongs” then a trial can determine that

He had Due process, You guys are just bitching for more. He belongs out of the USA. But now he can rot in a prison.

No he didn’t, it’s the fucking reason why the courts deemed his deportation illegal you dumbass lmao

You’re actually brainwashed. If Trump were to say the sky is green you’d argue it to death here. Genuine cult behavior

With all due respect AL
but you live in an undemocratic country. You don't really know what it's like to live in a democracy.

"Domestic Terrorists". That's what they are (the Rioters). Enough is enough.

Jan6 is what you're talking about, right?

Well, Germany isn't that democratic either. You can go to jail for criticizing Israel there. So, neither do you know what is true democracy.

 

[Bisoromi Bear]

Slimy. But also just doing their jobs ultimately.

You should know what happens when people JuSt Do ThEiR jObS: their descendants will repeat "wewereallguiltyitmustneverhappenagainwewereallguiltyitmustneverhappenagain" ad nauseam until they can't see the forest for the trees anymore😂😂
