  • China is responsible for 75% of poverty reduction, Cuba has a longer life expectancy than the US, chinas median wage is now higher than some european countries, and it is only growing, women in gdr had more orgasms than women in the west, and the current "quality of life" in capitalist countries is only sustained due to exploitation of the third world - not to mention the fact that while these same countries have enough food and housing their peoples are still starving and homeless.

    There you go, no condescension necessary.

  • That's not the point of sarcasm. Do you even know your linguistics? Sarcasm has no point - No tonal conveyance really does - but if you wanna get theoretic with it the point of sarcasm is to deliver critique without the sting, or to subvert expectations and deliver a joke. There isn't a lot of methods of communication were the point of it is to be hard to understand - though some methods are of course used to carry dual meanings to different audiences.

  • If your sarcasm needs an /s it's shit sarcasm and you've got terrible timing.

  • I can't unfortunately. Putin doesn't allow me to use google while I spread disinformatsiya

  • Thank you, glad you can admit when you're wrong. It shows growth.

  • that's like being mad at Biden about the War on Drugs

    I mean... He did author the crime bill. Dude hung out with white supremacists and was against bussing. Considering the fact that the schools were active all the way up to 1997, that's probably a better simile than you think.

    You kinda lost me at the rest, I thought we were just mentioning atrocities. Your point is that we should punish people that hurt kids? Or are you trying to justify the existence of schools that tore away children from their parents due to racist assumptions about "christianizing" children?

    Nah it wasn't a typo. Hexbear had a discussion about removing downvotes, I was against removing downvotes, but they were removed anyway. I mentioned that because you spoke on site culture.

  • Capital-Communism would be like anarcho-monarchism, it's an oxymoron

  • Yeah I also think we should look at the past and the present in order to create a better future, which is why I say one famine once is better than constant famines like we have now. How many millions die of hunger each year? How many have died at the hands of capitalism? How many are dying? While we have food available. This isn't even to count for the famines that were enacted on purpose like those the british did in Ireland and in India.

    Meanwhile both the USSR and China managed to eliminate famine in regions that had been plagued by it since history could account for it. Were the countries perfect? Far from it. Pretending that they are somehow worse for eliminating famine while people are starving in countries with food on the shelves is ridiculous.

  • Canada and the residential schools truly is something else.

    And yeah I was against removing downvotes when it happened, but it truly has only been a boon for site culture

  • what are we? some kinda suicide squad?

  • Yeah it completely wooshed over my head, I thought you were serious

  • And Jeff Bezos should give me all of his money, but that's not gonna happen either

  • The fact that Russia (a supposed world super power) is still there means Ukraine is winning.

    The fact that Russia didnt shock and awe it's way across a country that has the entirety of NATO backing it means Russia is losing? Lmao ok.
    NATO is running out of equipment because it's supplying Ukraine. Russia is basically taking on NATO and winning, but go off
