Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@NitroFury  
I’m not surprised.
 
Since well Fox News is all in on Cancel Culture.

@tehwatever  
What was it that you said sometime ago?
 
“Shitty Laws only stand because the average person doesn’t realize that they outnumber their authority figures and could bum rush them.”

The California offshore windfarm looks like it’s going through, and earlier this year the VA offshore windfarm got the final go ahead.

@CaptainXtra  
Yeah. That. And I stand by it.

I’ve been hearing the words “Trump” and “Grand Jury” in the same sentence frequently today.
 
What’s likely to come from that combination?

@CaptainXtra
 
Ordinarily it’s spelled bad news for the accused. It usually means prosecutors believes they have enough of a case to go forward.
 
But this song and dance has been done for years now so I’m not holding out hope until he’s actually behind bars.

@Dustcan  
True.

You know what’s fucked up, every time a mass shooting happens, there seem to be a spike in gun sales after these.

@NitroFury  
“They tryin to take away our guns.”

When your shop got blown up but ya boy needs to look fresh for the job interview he woulda had at the store that also got blown up.
 

@tehwatever
 
Americans: “Walmart made me wear a mask, this is the greatest injustice in the world!!!”
 
Meanwhile…

@Zincy  
For most people, their own problems will always be the most important. It’s just how we’re wired.

@Zincy  
A good barbershop is every mans luxury in life and yeah, blowing up barbershop is crossing a lotta lines. I know some people groom they beard on they own and cut they own hair, but having a barber do good by you, feels like a real treat. I curse at those who take away from a man a chance at good grooming.

@tehwatever  
What is this, the You Don’t Mess With The Zohan Expanded Universe?

@Background Human  
XD

@NitroFury  
Well it depends. For example some Asians bought guns due to racism toward the community and the defund the police which affected all communities in negative way, well at least those that cannot hire private security team like AOC, Gretchen Whitmar, Joe Biden, Trump, Ron,etc.

Capitalism doesn’t encourage innovation, it does the total opposite.
 
The claim that Capitalism is always great for innovation is bullshit and it’s doing more harm than ever today.
 
Fuck it, Capitalism is killing our planet alongside the average worker:
 
Seriously, in a better world the people of America, the EU, and every rich nation would’ve revolted against every large corporation and their puppets in positions of Government.
 
Aside from the cancer of Greed we also have Future Generations facing issues which ignorant Boomers think will go away on their own:
 
The issue of watching fellow countrymen break into the capitol in an attempt to capture or kill members of Congress in order to reinstate the loser and continuing to suppress the rights of voters in various states.
 
The issue of idiots openly thinking that a pandemic which has claimed over a million lives globally is fake.
 
And don’t even get me started on how we’ve reached the point that large scale damage to the Earth as a result of human pollution is already going to happen to some extent down the line even if we stop everything.

@CaptainXtra  
No, that more like complaining about government jumping in and telling people what to do when business or life in general for a barber shop can be closed while something like the golden globes can get a pass. Capitalism isn’t a perfect system as we’ve seem with the Wall Street crash and with big businesses doing everything to not get replaced by something better, but there are worse systems. The cassette where if you are the child of parents lower class, you are not going anywhere and Socialism would require everybody to agree and as we seen in life people will sacrifice others to get ahead. Plus government officials would have more control and that can lead to some worse corruptions. What is needed is less government control over stuff.

@CaptainXtra  

 
The issue with that is, the rich and powerful have learned from the JFK assassination.

@Wiimeiser  
Plus they can pretty invest in solar power and wind power, but because of global warming(which have been proven to be false with every prediction) but for the most common reason; money. Money Is present in all system and people will do everything to prevent others from gaining wealth and the best way to do that is prevent any growing numbers of free thinkers. Now how do you stop free thinkers?

@phoenixacezero  
@phoenixacezero  
No offense, but not only does your analysis kinda go all over the place, some parts of it are also pretty wildly inaccurate, like the leap of logic that the risk of government corruption means there should be less government control (instead of a better accountability), the overly reductive view that socialism doesn’t work because of the selfishness of some (while that is indeed a concern, things are not that simple either), global warming having been proven false (which is definitely wrong, while the most alarmists predictions about the consequences of the phenomenon have been indeed given on an exaggeratedly short timetable, the fact remains that it is very much happening and some of those consequences are already visible nowadays), or the bit about preventing others from gaining wealth by stopping free thinkers, which makes absolutely no sense (I mean, what?)
 
As I see it, with the way it leads wealth to concentrate at the very top to an obscene degree, while more and more people on the lower rungs have increasing difficulties to earn their keep, and with the negative consequences of its excesses having more and more impact on society as a whole, the capitalist model as it is currently shaped cannot sustain itself forever. Either some kind of compromise to reframe it in a fairer way (such as the one that imposed itself in the wake of World War 2) will eventually impose itself, or something will dramatically give, leading to a major crisis of some sort upending the economic and social paradigm, with dire to mixed consequences for most of those involved, and only then will things have a chance to get better (although that’s never a guarantee either) — and given how our history is filled with paradigm shifts, economic cycles punctuated with crises, conflicts and political turmoils affecting society on an ever-widening scale, I’m afraid the chances of the latter are only growing more likely by the day (even though I’d be hard pressed to say anything concrete about how or when it will actually take place, or what will be left by the end of it).

@Ereiam  
Proven false or lied about it being proven false. Remember the people who that socialism has not been to the country that have socialism. Meanwhile people who fled those countries because the model been tried due to food shortage and Tyrannical control.

You’re all free to join my bandit cult in the event of social collapse.

@Wiimeiser  
As much as I’m not s fan of Loppity, this just sounds like inane conspiracy bullshit, I doubt they’d be petty enough to celebrate someone’s death.
