  • It's easier to fall into comformity than to question things. One, the risk of someone killing you is lesser, two, it's not wort it for the pay, three, if you can get bribed not to publish something, even better.

  • Wait till they get to the part where people were being burried in iron coffins.

  • OK, let's test.

    Nope, tapping the image just collapses the comment for me.

  • In posts, yeah, but not in comments (if there is an image in the comments).

  • These were the norm in public toalets back in the day (30+ years ago). They're easy to clean and maintain. Get a hose, water pressure to the max, 2 minutes and you're done.

  • I mean, come on, everyone can hear everything if you live in a building, that's normal... people have fights, they have sex, they have parties, they have kids... it's normal stuff, I really don't get what the big deal is.

  • The US is very good at playing the democracy/capitalism game. Democracy can't be sustained by a capitalist economic system by the reasons you pointed out. Once money is involved in the mix, there is no democracy. You can buy everything with money.

  • The paid ones didn't, the free ones did.

  • The almost endless pool of workers is what drives 996. If one doesn't want to work, there is always someone else to replace him/her. Remove that from the equation and 996 will be no more.

  • Truly communist countries? As in perfect communism? That doesn't exist, as well as truly capitalist countries, that doesn't exist as well.

  • Why is it nonsence? It makes perfect sense to me 🤷. Granted I may not remember everything correctly and other things that were explained in Zeitgeist, but I think I remeber this correctly.

  • If you're talking about China, no, not really. If you're talking about everyone else... depends... I'd say mostly.

  • Name five what? Things that make communist countries more communist than capitalist countries?

  • Debt is what drives inflation. Let's say you got a total of 1k USD in circulation. Now, let's say that some person decides he needs to borrow 100 USD from the bank. The bank gives him the 100 USD, but with intrest. Let's say that that intrest is 10 USD. So, the person gives back the 100 USD plus 10 USD intrest. But, there's a problem. If a total of 1k USD is in circulation, where do the 10 USD come from. It can't come from thin air, so it has to be printed. Thus, now you have 1.01k USD in circulation which inflates the prices of things.

    There are other reasons as well. This is all well explained in Zeitgeist. I suggest you take a look at the documentaries.

  • To be honest, they are more communist than capitalist countries.

  • Yeah, Jerboa still doesn't support it.
