Really makes me think of all the proud, racist christian women I know who gave birth out of wedlock and are now single-mothers.

No, it's not. I'm sorry if you're delusional enough to think otherwise.

You may have had a point if Bernie won a nomination, but the left has made it clear they don't care about reducing the disparity in wealth.

Wrong. We can all choose to live and appreciate more modest lives.

I haven't eaten at a restaurant or bought a video game in years, for example. If more people appreciated what they have instead of always wanting more, these problems would be solved overnight.

through rent and mortgages.

The housing market is complete bullshit, but workers also have themselves to blame for accepting renting as normal. We need to discourage renting and encourage ownership. Unfortunately, in order to do that people need to be willing to live more modest lifestyles outside of major cities. Supply and demand doesn't go away just because we want it to.

I'd wager life in Ukraine would be pretty similar to life in Russia if/when Russia takes over.

That means the disparity in wealth will still grow as quickly as possible, but Ukrainians will lose a lot of their freedoms of expression.

I mean, if a loss is inevitable anyways, why lose our lives along with the war?

Why buy into propaganda that only serves Western interests at the expense of Ukrainians' lives?

Ukrainians die, Westerners get money for their MIC and have fewer Russians to worry about.

Ukrainians really should be asking themselves if it was smart to fall for western propaganda. Ukraine has always been a tool for the West, nothing more.

This comment shouldn't have been censored.

The reasoning was "propaganda", but it really just challenges Western-approved propaganda.

Censorship is alive and well on lemmy. Mods are happy to abuse their power to censor ideas they don't like.

Make sure you click the dropdown menu and view "comment moderation history" to see what they're trying to censor from us. Hopefully, we can have a feature one day that gives us the option to more-easily display censored content such as not hiding it in the first place or simply blurring it out until we click it.

Tom Sawyer is a work of satire. It was written to shed light on how gullible and stupid Southern whites were are.

If you have bad taste in music, yeah.

Would rather see him, you know, improve the standard of living for those who need it.

All the money being wasted on "cosmetic dick surgeries" could be spent feeding and housing children who don't have food or shelter.

But hey, trans people like money too. So we know why they care more about cultural issues over fiscal ones.

and people who get them deserve pity, not derision.”

Look, if your dick is seriously messed up then sure.

If you're just doing it out of vanity though, you can go fuck yourself. There are starving children in the world (because of the disparity in wealth) and you're wasting thousands on superficial dick surgeries?

Literally no sympathy or empathy from me. You have too much money and it's good when it comes back to bite you.

It's not really robbing when the useful idiots are proud to give up their wealth and power.

Look at all the dumb shit people subscribe to that they could be getting for free. Look at all the dumb shit they waste their money on (like doordash) while complaining they need more.

It's a cultural problem, and the average worker is proud to be a part of it.

Whenever you suggest they could be doing something differently, like using free streaming sites instead of netflix, they will look at you like you're worse than a pedophile because you dared to suggest they're wasting money.

Just passing a bunch of money around at the top.

What's funny is, I guarantee all of these people will say without flinching, "I need more money."

"Depends" is the wrong way to frame it.

Essentially, this means we're serving them.

I keep trying to explain, billionaires aren't the only issue. Stop looking up to millionaires, too. They're both ripping us off.

Don't ever go to bat for them unless you want to be a useful idiot.

Not really.

The cold, honest truth is that Trump needed a rival.

He's literally unrivaled because Bernie lost to hillary in the 2016 primary.

I blame everyone who voted for her in the primary for why we now have 2 trump presidencies. They would rather have Trump than reduce the disparity in wealth.

Greed won and entitlement won, again.

Yeah, no. There will be no "canadian resistance."

Lol. Anyone who tries to form some resistance will be charged with terrorism and made an example of.

You're all bark and no bite. Canadians would rather live as Americans than die as Canadians. It's just a fact of life.

I've noticed this bluster among Canadians.

It's just bluster. I think surrendering is in your blood thanks to the French.

Should probably include the periods in i.e.

I'm guessing you're on a phone.

American here, keep talking about it.

The world would be a better place if American and Canada became one country.

The only people who would lose out are Canadians, but everyone else would be better off for it.

Canadians don't have an effective military.

Are they suggesting they would resist the US by force? That'd be a bad idea, way worse than joining.
