That Pwnz guy in the US PoliEra thread is one smart cookie.

[Snoopy]

See? It's easy. Just be better. Make better decisions. Do better. Do right things. Not wrong things. Simples.

[Boredfrom]

WTF? That is Capitalism.

[Pwnz]

The anticapitalist shit on re is like a meme now.

Someone tried to convince people that Ozempic cannot possibly be good because capitalism is bad and the people that make the Ozempic money also must own the other corporations that profit off candy so ergo it's a con.

But they've completely lost sight of capitalism's strength - each person has agency to value the worth of a product or service with respect to their specific life. So literally billions of personalized decisions versus some heavy handed one size fits all decision making process.

Something owning and controlling both pharma and food is more of a central economy situation, not capitalism.

[Boredfrom]

Seriously guys, none of the people involved in any of this should be cheered on

The Israeli government are horrific assholes for obvious reasons
The Houtis are horrible dipshits who do horrible things to the people of Yemen
The US and UK in bombing them are going to get innocents killed

You don't gotta take a side! They're all bad! None of this is good! All these groups are doing bad and horrible things, shit ain't team sports.

"And Hamas is..."

"uh"

Honestly been thinking about a follow-up thread to this to highlight just how many awful bills and regulations have been passed. Very few parts of the country are safe right now for trans people. I just haven't had the time or energy because I've been sick so much.

If one personality unit is sick, are they all sick?

How fucking hard is it to copy paste a Twitter link. These mofos are struggling to even make a thread as if it's more than a sounding board for victimhood. 

I just can't! I cant!

I'll do it because sophia won't:

I really like how caraballo buries the lede here, making it all about trans people, when if you read the text it would seem that this also potentially bans people from looking at porn or getting naked in the privacy of their own home within a half mile of any school

ozempic is evil capitalism cause i'm trying to drop a quick 30 and these fuckers want $1200 for that shit

[Uncle]

WTF? That is Capitalism.

at a stretch, what he means is that saying "we the audience failed them" is cheerleading for a company, giving them free advertising because you tie your identity to their corporate success, and thus engaging in capitalist attitudes

As a stretch it makes sense but that dude fails to understand that what he said is more capitalist than anything the other dude said.

[Uncle]

yeah it's actually pretty much what I posted last page about capitalism working just fine

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

you failed to support The Marvels. Its failure is on you and I'm not afraid to point it out. Do better to support POC.

[Potato]

Yeah this. It's been weird and frustrating some progressive people have become pro-Houthi

I mean, is not weird given the rhetoric. People saying that decapitating babies in a terror attack is not as big deal as killing kids in collateral damage.

Why do you think it was going to stop there?

They are all so close to realising that their philosophy is just anti my perceived enemy rather than anything substantial. So close. You would think when they started supporting their second terrorist organisation and one that doesn't respect the neutrality of the seas and innocent seamen who are usually from the third world that something might click though...

User banned (2 weeks): inflammatory accusations and whitewashing terrorist groups

History will remember who stood on the side of justice.

In fact, history will remember that "the left" supported not one, but two genocidal terrorist organisations.

[Boredfrom]

You, me, and several other posters have pointed out how bad Houthis are repeatedly in this thread yet people keep coming in here acting like they're righteous freedom fighters.

It makes me so uncomfortable that people continue to whitewash a violently antisemitic group.

 

And some idiot at the SouthAfrica Vs Israel thread was lamenting the “why Israel at Twitter was mad about it?”

You don’t need to cheer anybody in this like you don’t need to whitewash them or pretend their reasons are genuine when it’s clear that is otherwise. 

Instead of forcing a ceasefire, western coalition decided to bomb Yemen with their "genocide guardian" operation. Closing Bab-Almandb in the face of Israeli ships or ships that are trading with Israel is not only the stance of Ansar Allah movement, but the whole Yemeni people who did stand in solidarity with Palestinians and expressed their solidarity every Friday in the millions.

They only asked for the aggression to stop, and the Gaza blockade to be lifted, yet, the US and UK came from the other side of the world and choose to bomb them to protect the interests of Israel instead, escalating already-boiling situation in the region even further.

History will remember who stood on the side of justice.

You guys understand that’s the main reason why this groups do what they do? To people like above blame the problems of the region to westerners and Jews while those in power in the region get unchanged. Isn’t this the shit you are bitching Netanyahu is doing?

[books]

They finally got night mode?!

[Potato]

even worse than supporting terrorists, hes whatabouting!

In fact, the West DID care about all of that and that's the only reason you even know the fucking name Yemen.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/layoff-news-pixar-is-expected-to-lay-off-around-20-of-staff.804588/

But Elemental did make profit… how is this happening?

It's really starting to feel like this whole "tech-driven capitalism" thing we're doing right now isn't working. Like at all.

I am all for heavily critiquing capitalism but I ask this with utmost sincerity. What is "tech-driven capitalism" and how does that relate to Pixar and this layoff expectation? Just feels like a bunch of buzz words being thrown around to me with no meaning whatsoever.

why is cutting 20% of staff an example of capitalism doing poorly?

it's working perfectly, disney no longer cares about crafting stories people want to see but instead makes bland algorithm-driven safe moist as dudes movies

the market is responding by people saying "no, your shit sucks," and as a result your company is punished for misreading the market



you know what used to happen when a big group got laid off simultaneously? they all look around at each other, realize they have enough talent to make something on their own, and form a new company whose content puts their former employer to shame

and if they're not talented enough for that, maybe there's a reason they were laid off

Did anyone mention that they should form a union? If not, they should form a union.

When you operate with perfect moral clarity at all times you don't need to "take your time" to figure out who in any situation is on the right side of history. You just know. It's a reflex.

[Water Enjoyer]

This isn't that hard.

Everyone involved needs to do better. That's all it takes! It's that easy.

I'm so tired.

It's like sweet or tart mayonnaise - simply awful UK invention. Similar to Miracle Whip.

Yeah, nah. That shit isn't a thing here as far as I'm aware. Can't speak for the poms and jocks though.

This is how we know they know exactly what they're doing. This is who they are. This is all they have in their life and they're obsessed.

Now watch the "allies" come in here and dismiss our concerns, if they even post instead of ignoring what's happening, when shutting the fuck up is free.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

I think Harry Potter is cool. 

No I'm not dismissing concerns. Not at all.
