@Handre Maybe he was sincere in his belief in Stalin's propaganda. But he *chose* to double down and slander people who brought evidence. Large swathes of the Western public today who believe Hamas propaganda have chosen to double down and slander the survivors and truth-tellers.

Only after cutting education, homeless programs, and getting a bailout from the state. 66% of the deficit was paid for by Albany.

If you put some LED lights on those buildings the third worldist accounts will tell us how shiny building means China is destroying America with their amazing communist system

Sweden is choosing capitalism. Social spending as percentage of GDP is now 24%, lower than most of Northern Europe. Sweden has surpassed the US in billionaires per capita. School choice is universal, one in ten teens goes to a school operated by a company listed on the Stockholm stock exchange. Taxes have been cut three years in a row. Sweden has seen "more than 500 initial public offerings over the 10 years through 2024, more than Germany, France, the Netherlands and Spain combined" Nearly half of primary healthcare clinics are now privately owned. The result? Same as always. Sweden is projected to grow 2% a year through 2030, which is the same as the US and double France and Germany. How many times does this have to keep happening across the world? How many times does free market capitalism have to prove itself superior to socialism before the world accepts the truth?

People will spend their whole lives saying animals don’t feel emotion… then watch this and suddenly get real quiet.

@SlowNewsDayShow @luisjgomez Not really that complicated. The Palestinians want to murder every single last Israel. Not sure what that ideology has to do with Netanyahu sending funds into Gaza.

@Mark_D_Sampson @luisjgomez Well, that get complicated, especially when you factor in who funds Hamas & helped create them x.com/KaceeRAllen/st…

There is nothing funny about the death of a couple hundred thousand Jews

@BoostedAnimalss @luisjgomez I don’t remember that one?

@Mark_D_Sampson @luisjgomez Yes there were jokes about the jews killing babies in gaza/Palestine from Shane Gillid making fun of Chelsea Handler

@luisjgomez @aaronbergcomedy Jokes about Palestinians are fair game. I agree.

Here is comedian @aaronbergcomedy dressed as my dead father during a roast battle we did years ago. You must be new here.

@timbutterly I agree. Jokes about the war in Gaza is fair game.

I think the only thing that should be off limits in a roast is when someone has like a crazy strong eyeglasses prescription or like kind of fucked up teeth. Everything else is fair game.

@luisjgomez How about Palestinian’s?

Charlie Kirk is fair game. George Floyd is fair game. Abortion, 9/11, Israel, black, white, gay, straight. It’s all fair game in comedy.

@SeanMcCarthyCom @disbitcherdee He’d see how capitalism has reduced poverty and extended life expectancy WORLDWIDE.

@Mark_D_Sampson @disbitcherdee He’d see that China has achieved the greatest poverty reduction in recorded history and has overtaken the archaic, rent seeking U.S. system

After a 17 hour train ride from DC to Chicago. The distance between Shanghai and Beijing is longer but a train ride between them takes 4.5 hours.

Utopia is not the standard. Reality is. Every civilisation has sins if you judge it by today’s moral standards. You can build an entire career doing nothing but listing them. That is easy. The harder question and the only one that matters is this: compared to actual, existing alternatives, who has done better? I am not claiming the West is perfect. It is not. No society is. But if you are honest about measurable progress on rights, equality, and self-correction, it is still ahead of every other major system in the world today. So stop asking "is it perfect?" That is a childish question. Ask: "compared to what?"

@SeanMcCarthyCom @disbitcherdee If Adam Smith were alive today, he’d realize the major economic and societal implications of full government ownership and laugh that anyone would even consider such a horrible idea. He was taking about farm land or whatever back then.

@Mark_D_Sampson @disbitcherdee This is just basic economics. Read Michael Hudson

@SeanMcCarthyCom @disbitcherdee Lolll. I forgot, you hate the concept of owning land. Hard to have a decent conversation with someone who thinks like an 8 year old. Grow the fuck up Sean. Smell the real world and stop being such a bitch.

@disbitcherdee @Mark_D_Sampson You libertarians are such pathetic bootlickers. These same freight rail monopolies poisoned east Palestine but now you’re crying crocodile tears at the idea that the government might “steal” by giving them fair market price for land they have no right to

@DavidDeutschOxf isn't there a way for us to revise his edits? I thought it was a public forum where we can all contribute. I may be totally wrong here.

I stopped using Wikipedia some time ago for this reason.

@robkhenderson I know it has nothing to do with the point you are trying to make but the acting one this show is horrific. Gandolfini/Falco the exceptions.

One of the more interesting developments in The Sopranos is how Meadow initially had misgivings about her father's criminal lifestyle. Then she goes off to Columbia and gradually begins to develop excuses for them. Elite education disabled her ability to tell right from wrong.

@CootDilute @Parth824871 @AgentofNuance @SeanMcCarthyCom Where did I say I prefer to be behind on transportation? And I think moron communists are a healthy part of our democratic discourse. I just think Sean looks tired of all the horrible capitalism and maybe it’s time to retire in utopia.

@Mark_D_Sampson @Parth824871 @AgentofNuance @SeanMcCarthyCom You contribute nothing. Just stupid commentary. “I prefer for us to be behind on transportation and for all critics to leave while we fall further behind.” Sounds idiotic.

@nmuir99 @Parth824871 @AgentofNuance @SeanMcCarthyCom Nick Muir’s neck is LONG!

@Mark_D_Sampson @Parth824871 @AgentofNuance @SeanMcCarthyCom The only person coming to their senses is you once you realized how stupid your comment was.
