I remember the days of high quality fansubs by people who were just doing it for free because they loved it.

Those still exist and still give you a better consumer experience than these fucking dogshit streaming services.

Go show them some appreciation, if you can afford to.

Scalia died in a much more conventional way, in my mind, fucking a hooker at his friends "ranch."

The soundtrack is still one of my favorites. I loved early Jean-Pierre Jeunet films like Delicatessen and City of Lost Children, so I was skeptical of the film at first because it seemed so normal in comparison. Turned out to be his best film by far.

Ah, the old "if it weren't for double standards, they'd have no standards at all."

We just need them to get it in front of SCOTUS.

...you're joking, right? It's clear whose side they're on and it isn't the side of "I'm worried what history books will say about me." There's only three sane justices out of nine.

Or the police procedural mystery deadpan comedy A Touch Of Cloth!

I dunno man, that still feels like they're saying they basically agree with like 80% of what Republicans want to do in terms of giving tax breaks to the rich and cutting benefits for the poor. It seems like the bridge too far for them has been the actual fascism and tossing out the rule of law. Which is nice, but it means that this other new party will still be enabling some of the worst aspects of the Republicans if they indeed got a split like you are theorizing. That means that 65-35 split will be solidly on the side of "fuck the little guy" even if they won't outright support fascism.

and reclaim the middle ground.”

Bullshit it's good, it's a farce to make the "middle" somewhere between the right wing Democrats and the ultra right wing unhinged fascists of the Republicans.

None of them are going "Damn we shoulda listened to Sanders."

They've learned fuck-all.

Now enjoy your Blahaj. (although depending on your system you may need to install dependencies after configuration. Blahaj is dependent on love, kindess, and affection.)

Right, socialism doesn't necessarily say that markets themselves are evil, but rather that the workers should have direct control over their own workplaces and reap the value of their labor instead of being siphoned off to a parasite class. A socialist business owned by the workers would still be selling their goods in the marketplace. It's just a fairer distribution of control of the company through democracy and a fairer distribution of the value generated by the labor.

As I often say, it's not like Jeff Bezos can deliver every Amazon package or manage every AWS server on his own. No, the value he has is leeched from all the workers who make his business function. Without the workers, he is effectively useless on his own.

But it feels like we're regressing and we can't even get to that socialist ideal because we're busy fighting for the basic rules of capitalism that produce an actually healthy economy where everyone is involved be followed.

We have come so far that we have gone from "maybe the world should be a better place" to "if we are really going to do this capitalism shit, could we at least follow the fundamental foundational concepts instead of a corporate free-for-all where the rules of the game have been tossed out?"

But seriously this is tragic as hell for all the people losing their jobs and seeing all the work they did on the game go up in a puff of smoke.

Technically "less."

It's rooted in all that "American Exceptionalism" propaganda crap, for sure.
