  • Constructing a new system minus the limitations of the existing one.

  • The working class can not work with the bourgeoisie. The two have completely opposing interests. Anything that benefits the bourgeoisie comes from exploiting the working class, and anything that benefits the working class comes from reducing that exploitation by the bourgeoisie.

    "Let's work together" is either the political theory of a child that understands nothing or the intentionally subversive lies by someone that does understand but wants to mislead others. You may as well be telling people in africa to work together with the colonial masters exploiting them.

    Shouldn't we be talking to each other instead of downvoting and blocking each other?

    Hexbear doesn't even have downvotes.

    What is more effective than believing that your country can do better?

    This isn't what you want. You do nothing except defend against criticism from people that want to make things better. Because your brain is full of nationalism and you can't help but leap to the defence of the state whenever it is criticised. This behaviour isn't because you want it to be better, it's because you view criticism as a threat.

  • People failing to buy into your delusional nationalism is not an "attack". You don't get to demand that people agree with delusional nationalism and then claim you're under attack when they scoff at them. The very heart of every single one of your responses is the flag waving nationalist bollocks mate, and it's deeply deeply embarrassing behaviour that completely lacks self awareness.

  • Mate why are you talking like you're giving a presidential campaign speech? And what equality and freedom are you bloody talking about? In america? Equality and freedom? Are you having a fucking laugh?

    Genuinely taking the piss. I'm going to defer to my man Albert Einstein:

    "I came to America because of the great, great freedom which I heard existed in this country. I made a mistake in selecting America as a land of freedom, a mistake I cannot repair in the balance of my life." December, 1947

  • Not everything is political.

  • In this thread: People that oppose healthcare already proven all over the world screaming and crying about strawmen.

  • They would have to spend like 1% less on bombs per year so that's a no go.

  • Hexbear blocks externally hosted images so I can't see that. Can you edit it and put it in the instance properly with copy paste?

    because it only uses oecd member countries

    Ahh yes, the "international community".

  • Ableism, nice.

    When you stop emotionally reacting to people criticising your government let me know? You owe as much loyalty to governments as you owe to your boss.

  • Can you stop filling my inbox with nationalist bullshit? Christ, I couldn't read past the first line. Grass is greener my ass.

  • Why be so mean?

    "Calling me racist for blaming immigrants is so meaaaaaaan!!!"

    If I didn't want to be called racist, I would simply not say something racist.

  • If you didn't look at this list and ask "Why did they pick these countries and leave out others?" you're not doing critical thinking. The countries with the highest literacy in the world are almost all either socialist or formerly socialist countries.

  • Four in five U.S. adults (79 percent) have English literacy skills sufficient to complete tasks that require comparing and contrasting information, paraphrasing, or making low-level inferences—literacy skills at level 2 or above in PIAAC (OECD 2013). In contrast, one in five U.S. adults (21 percent) has difficulty completing these tasks (figure 1). This translates into 43.0 million U.S. adults who possess low literacy skills

  • Even if you excluded them (which seems like a very

    approach) these people are only illiterate because they're from brown countries", you still have an education system where 13.9% of people are coming out illiterate.

    I'm all for american self-depreciation

    I am not american

    because we have so many immigrants

    Nice of you to edit in the part that confirms you're not just a nationalist, but a racist too.

  • Gives some perspective on american culture and problems compared to the rest of the world doesn't it?

  • Some perspective is worthwhile here. It's 21% of americans vs 65% of Europeans.

  • 21% illiteracy is shockingly bad tbh.
