@Heccles94 McDonald's makes french fries but it doesn't chew the fries for you.

Capitalism may well create wealth, but it doesn’t distribute it fairly

@DeeWaynee94 Except at the beginning. There's a big difference at the beginning.

The most awkward thing for believers is that a world with no gods would look almost exactly like this one.

@sirDukeDevin A Nazi in the hand is worth two in the bush. A Nazi saved is a Nazi earned. Nazis speak louder than words. When life gives you Nazis make lemonade. Every Nazi has a silver lining. The Nazi is always greener on the other side. Don't cry over spilled Nazis.

Accurate:

Samuel Alito: "What does it mean to be a boy or a girl, or a man or a woman?... How can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what sex means for equal protection purposes?" ACLU lawyer: "We do not have a definition for the court."

@GlumBird Average per-capita GDP is just over $13,000 and that's your best case for socialism (but it comes complete with a Great Firewall and obedience-inducing social credit scores). None of the Scandinavian countries are socialist. Their safety nets are funded by free market economies.

The amount of people responding with "I choose extinction" strongly supports my thesis that contemporary capitalism is an extinction cult

If Chuck Norris can die it can happen to anyone.

@queenie4rmnola Do you have to be racist to hate white people or can you do that out of the goodness of your heart?

White people have privilege because they benefit from the racial hierarchy. You don't have to be racist to have privilege.

@philosophymeme0 What is a parakeet?

@Nithya_Shrii I didn't cross the poverty limit till I was 29. Help me see the traumatic parts of the first 29 years of my life.

Rich kids get capital. Middle class kids get “figure it out.” Poor kids get trauma and told it builds character. The starting line is not equal.

@mcsquared34 What year did capitalism begin to destroy the planet?

@BraddrofliT What years during your life were you proud to be an American?

Imagine saying you’re proud to be an American in 2026. I mean how delusional do you have to be.

@BlisterPearl When did the single-income era end and since that day, how often has a non-conservative government governed?

@Tigger0000 @ItsLulu_7 Where is communism practiced today or where has it been practiced in the past?

@Meticulously801 @ItsLulu_7 that's capitalism

We need an independent Communist Party

@Tigger0000 @ItsLulu_7 For it to be communism do you have to put a gun to your countrymen's heads and make everyone join in the fun?

@Meticulously801 @ItsLulu_7 that would be bourgeois disneyland, not communism
