  • Yeah, I'm asking you about your personal preferences.

    My personal preference would be that labor is regulated so that child labor is illegal. And that guns are legal but reasonably regulated so that I don't have to carry an arsenal with me because someone at the grocery store with diagnosed mental illness packing a ton of heat might get upset and decide to unload into a crowd of people.

  • Advertising going up, prices going up, quality going down, consumer disposable income going down.

    Plus the writer and actor strikes that are going to hit content releases hard once they finished releasing already-finished content.

  • What kinds of guns?

    Which guns would you take to work or go grocery shopping?

    Which guns would you give your kids to go to school?

    Where would you buy ammunition when the gangs and cartels control all gun and ammunition trade? (Along with the synthetic drugs and human trafficking)

  • An actual 100% free market would be rife with drug and human trafficking.

    It's good to have some regulation, and by and large the US is a mostly free market. You are free to start almost any business you want.

  • Quite. Obviously Hitler was defeated by the combined military might of the allies.

    But the important take-away is not, "violence is always the answer", the important take-away is, "what socio-economic conditions in Germany lead to a fascist like Hitler rising up to dictator power".

  • Still doesn't make much sense, fascism is a populist movement.

    It would make way more sense if it said Feudalism instead. Keep the peasants in line with your armed militia class, eventually murder-robots. The peasants might be miserable, but they're going to work the land because that's they're only choice to survive.

  • Yeah this meme is really stupid. I'm anti-Capitalism, but fascism doesn't not do all that well in free markets. Nazis get deplatformed, demonetized. If you have money and influence, outing yourself as a Nazi is career suicide.

    Fascism flourishes under a populist authoritarian leader, an obsession with national identity and the state, fear of an external boogieman, and a feeling that you've been oppressed but you're about to get the reward you deserve.

  • If what you said is true, why is Putin so intent on serving western interests? Is Putin a US puppet? What does that say about the Russian people that they just let themselves get drafted into a war and die by a US puppet leader all to benefit the West?

    "Western propaganda" makes the West look incompetent, you make the West look all powerful and controlling.

  • During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money.

    People aren't understanding the coffee science here. Optimal brew temp is 195-205 degF.

    Now it should be regulated that the coffee is required to cool to a certain temperature, probably 160, before they're allowed to serve it. But coffee is supposed to be brewed at a dangerous temperature.

  • I agree that capitalism is bad.

    But since we live in a capitalist country, I do my part as an informed consumer and I don't use Google products.

    But this particular brand of whining about "big tech" is so stupid. Google risks losing advertisers. Google acts to not lose it's advertisers. Cry a river that in a capitalist economy a business takes action to protect its income source.

  • Low chance, more likely he'll think Brand is some kind of martyr. Brand immediately dove into the Andrew Tate angle.

    It's simple: if you're a media personality that uses your influence and money to groom and/or sexually harass or assault women, simply tell your audience that the government is trying to silence you, because "you're a dangerous revolutionary too close to the truth" or anything like that really.

  • Give me another reason to stand up for a famous hollywood star you know nothing real about, just a carefully and expensively crafted media persona.

    I'm all for a good discussion around the social implications of false accusations, but there's an exceptional amounting of simping going on for one specific special boy.
