@japan_nobunaga Right... Tell me more about how Japanese people treat half Korean half Japanese people. This is a ridiculous post and not based on any reality. It isn't enough for Asians to be ethnic supremacists, they are literally surname supremacists and you are posting this garbage.

Honestly, racism is one of those things many Japanese people struggle to understand. If we see a white person, we think, "Oh, they're white." If we see a black person, we think, "Oh, they're black." If there were blue people, we'd probably think, "Oh, they're blue." And that's about as far as it goes. If someone is nice, we think they're nice. If someone is an asshole, we think they're an asshole. If we like them, we like them. If we don't, we don't. We grow up being told not to cause trouble, not to fight, and to get along with the people around us. Maybe that's why judging someone by their race feels so foreign to a lot of Japanese people. We're usually too busy judging people by whether they're good people or not.

@WorbsIntoWords So you believe in the distribution of losses, right? Employees no longer need to be paid if business doesn't make profits. I wonder how many workers will agree to this.

all these justifications for why owners aren’t stealing from workers is based on denial of the fundamental ABCs of contract law,: the lower your bargaing power is, the less voluntary the exchange is for you, the more the other party gets the benefits and you give the obligations

@polybugger @RockChartrand @ProudSocialist No, I am saying the opposite. I want less government power less taxes. I want gov to have as little power as possible so even if corrupt, it can't do anything. You keep wanting to fund and give more power to what you recognize as corrupt like some unstoppable moron.

@DeeLeeCircus @RockChartrand @ProudSocialist Haha. Man, the brain density in this reply is killing me. So you'd rather have a bought government working for the capitalists than a functioning one working for the people? Is that what you want?

New video breaking down why the U.S. is a dictatorship of capital where both parties serve capital not people. The system was designed to exploit us, not save or serve us. That is why if we want change we have to save ourselves by building power in our workplaces and communities.

@4TaxFairness You tax rich people or corporations, they mostly pass that tax to consumers so taxing the rich is just indirectly taxing everyone. The only one that benefits is the government. The solution is to make it cheaper to do business and cheaper to create products and services.

And you? Was it easier to afford groceries or gas yesterday? "When the rich do well we all do well" is complete BS. We can never let them cut taxes for the rich and promise it will all "trickle down" ever again.

@mitrajoy_ Nah. I learned from people that escaped communist countries.

you learned to fear communism from the same establishment that defended colonialism, segregation, and apartheid

@joe_br1ght Employees got paid, unless if you are suggesting distributing losses to employees. I am fine with that but I doubt the workers will be.

Those who believe that the rich create all the wealth shouldn't be allowed to vote or operate motor vehicles. Literally too stupid for basic reasoning. What's employment for then? Charity? I mean since according to you it can't be for profit

@StardustRedding @LauraMiers @TheCAThomas Try no government or as little gov as possible. Gov has no business doing redistribution and what makes you think they won't mess it up? You acknowledge gov is corrupt and your solution is to give it more power and authority.

@DeeLeeCircus @LauraMiers @TheCAThomas Government should punish the 1% and favor the 99% There! You happy with that answer

This is stunning, but not unexpected. Between 2020-2024, the wealth held by US billionaires increased by over 90%. Covid kicked off yet another record wealth transfer from the bottom to the top, & they’re still going. Welcome to The Last Hurrah.

@johnthomas5498 @william_tu12117 Military budget is nothing relative to the amount of social welfare we give away through redistribution schemes.

@DeeLeeCircus @william_tu12117 Holy fuck. I hear you buddy fuck them people who want a home, an education and healthcare. Who do they think they are. Let's bump that military budget up to a trillion and a half.

Can someone, anyone answer this? Democrats/Liberals want lower prices but increased wages. Explain to me how that works.

@johnthomas5498 @william_tu12117 If these people were actually contributing and adding value to society, they would be able to have a mortgage and healthcare. Because of policies from leftist/liberals, regular people that once had those things can't now as prices skyrocketed.

@brucefenton So the narrative is Israel, instead of immediately going into Gaza and stacking bodies like any other country would have done, instead tolerated rockets being launched into their cities for decades and built out a rocket defense system instead and that is somehow genocide.

Is antisemitism increasing? Absolutely. Without question. 100% yes it is. Is this because people suddenly randomly decided to hate Jewish people around 2024? No. Antisemitism is rising is because 1) the majority of the USA and the world feel that Israel is committing war crimes and 2) both Israeli and Jewish leaders continually work to conflate the State of Israel with the religion of Judaism Against and again we are told that criticism of Israel the country is antisemitic and equated to criticism of Jewish people. Personally I don’t prefer to conflate the evil actions of Israeli politicians with an entire religion. But the overwhelming majority of both Israeli people and Jewish people DO conflate the two. The official spokespeople and most prominent leaders make a mission of conflating the two. So either Israel and Jewish people are one in the same - in which case antisemitism is because of the actions of Israel (I don’t prefer this option) OR the actions of politicians in Israel do NOT reflect the religion - in which case Jewish people have not often or loudly enough condemned Israel and those who seek to conflate it with their religion.

@johnthomas5498 @william_tu12117 Not to mention policies after policies that literally give people who had no business getting things like mortgages, college tuition loans, and healthcare. It sounds good in practice but all it does is massively increase prices making it unaffordable for everyone else.

@DeeLeeCircus @william_tu12117 Sounds good why haven't we tried that over the last 50 years. Oh wait it's all we've ever done and now we have an entire two generations of kids who can't afford shit

@alilfuzzy @william_tu12117 Returns went to cheaper prices of goods making it more affordable for consumers. This does not increase wage but makes things more affordable. If you want better wages, control immigration.

@DeeLeeCircus @william_tu12117 It drives costs down. But the returns never went to wages. Real wages stagnated or fell. All the savings kept accruing to the already-wealthy. They only let money go to wages if they can't personally enrich themselves further because of taxes.

@johnthomas5498 @william_tu12117 Really? Most of our gov spending last 5 decades was on redistribution schemes. That is mostly what government does and have done for decades.

@The_Jehus @DemonFramed @Rich_Cooper A woman's body is how they used to secure a commitment from a man. When most women start giving it away for free, even modest girls no longer have this leverage to demand commitment.

@DemonFramed @Rich_Cooper Not sure how this all becomes women’s fault? It’s our society that allowed for the smashing. So our men reconciled to this choice years ago. If anything men need to have backbones and resist acquiescing to broken standards.

This is the reality of most modern marriages in 2026. The woman spends her 20s getting pumped and dumped by attractive men, then finds a nice beta male to clean up the mess and provide financial security. The brutal reality is that many women don’t marry the men they truly desire. They marry the men who offer stability. Years later, the marriage falls apart, the assets get divided, the house gets awarded to her, and she’s back on the market with more resources than she started with. Meanwhile, the husband is left wondering how he spent years building a life that disappeared in a courtroom.

@LauraMiers @TheCAThomas It will continue to work because liberals/leftist can't ever acknowledge their faults and their failed policies that is actively destroying our society. Not only are they in complete denial of their failures, they actively push for more power for gov and more expensive policies.

@TheCAThomas Who is “you jackassses?” We’re all Americans here, all bending over & getting fucked together by the 0.1%. The Divide & Conquer ops worked for two decades, but they’re not going to work much longer.

@tonywestonuk @badguyty That wealth is actively working in the economy as investments and other instruments of the economy creating value and jobs. You take it out, it is no longer working in the economy and being used to chase after the same # of goods/services raising prices for everyone else.

I understand that wealth is not the same as cash, and that valuation matters. But that is an argument for designing a wealth tax carefully, not for pretending extreme wealth cannot be taxed at all. Most serious wealth-tax proposals include valuation rules, thresholds, exemptions, and anti-avoidance measures. Also, my broader point wasn’t that government spending depends mechanically on taxing billionaires first. It was the opposite: governments use “there’s no money” as a political excuse when the real question is resources, priorities, and power.

There’s something that we hear time and time again through TV and the media, but it simply isn’t true. The story goes like this: billionaires are sitting on so much money that the government is helpless. It has no choice but to let roads crumble, libraries close, and youth clubs disappear. The finger is pointed at billionaires: That’s where the money is. The government can’t do anything without it. But that isn’t true. Billionaires have far too much wealth and far too much power. They absolutely should be taxed far more than they are now. Bring on a wealth tax. But here’s the important bit: governments choose not to fix roads, fund libraries, or keep youth clubs open. That is a political choice. A government that issues its own fiat currency has the ability to buy anything for sale in its own unit of account: the pound. When it says, “We don’t have the money,” that is not the same as saying, “We don’t have the resources.” It is a choice about priorities. And they choose not to. Worse, they tell us they are helpless. They say there is no money. They suggest the billionaire “wealth creators” have it all, and that without taking more from them, nothing can be done. But look at Patriotic Millionaires. Many millionaires are openly asking to be taxed more. The government still does not want to do it. Why? Because if more money came in, if the deficit fell or the debt went down, the government would lose one of its favourite excuses: We don’t have the money. A wealth tax is needed. But a wealth tax would also expose the deeper lie. It would make it harder for politicians to hide behind the idea that they are powerless to do good things. So the public gets hit with the old one-two: - First, millionaires and billionaires hoard vast amounts of wealth. - Second, the government uses that as cover to cut services it simply does not want to support. We need to fix both problems. We need a wealth tax. But we also need to tell people the government is part of the sham. Because once the public is conditioned to believe that even an elected government cannot do the things people want, democracy itself starts to wither. Why vote at all if every party is supposedly trapped by the same financial constraints? Why vote Green, Reform, or anyone promising change, if we are told they will all eventually run into the same answer: Sorry, there’s no money? That belief is not accidental. It is politically useful. If people believe governments are powerless, they stop expecting anything from them. They stop demanding better. Eventually, many stop voting altogether. And that is exactly what the people benefiting from the current system want. The reason your library is closing is not that the country has “run out of money.” It is closing because someone chose not to fund it. And the reason they keep saying there is no alternative is because they do not want you to believe your vote could create one.

@Faizannadeem488 @ProudSocialist So we should distribute the losses as well then, right? Something ridiculous like 9 out of 10 businesses fail in 5-10 years and lose all their investment capital, they should share those losses with their workers, right? Only fair, right?

@ProudSocialist Why it's so difficult for the victims to realize? Just because of these ignorant slaves everyone is getting effected

There is no democracy for the people under capitalism. There is only democracy for the rich (Lenin). Elections under capitalism are simply a mechanism of control for the ruling class to keep the masses divided and trapped in the very system that’s rigged against us.

@SenWarren People, invest in child care companies and businesses. It seems like gov has their eyes on it so you know prices will skyrocket and make it unaffordable for most people. If you want a good ROI, invest in child care businesses now.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

@Jason_Restante @Greens But their own policies are what is causing it. They pass regulation and taxes constraining supply while driving up demand using other people's money. They always do this, every policy is to constrain the supply and massively increase the demand.
