  • Divide and conquer means only half of your working class understands they're being exploited. If after a few decades it's becoming evident that class consciousness is forming, introduce a foreign strawman into the equation and have a culture war.

  • The best part of the online discourse is all of the ill-informed Argentines that voted for him thinking he wasn't a far-right populist, and that he's just a libertarian. The mental gymnastics (and maybe the astroturfing) are real. "He's not far-right, he's just anti-abortion, doesn't believe in climate change, and isn't all that in favor of democracy"

  • All you have to do is look at the crime statistics and income statistics for cities across North America. Cities that have lower GDPs (less money, less opportunity) generally have higher crime rates. If despair is high, people will act out of desperation. What you are wilfully ignoring is the fact that "countries that are poorer than the US" also are drastically different culturally than the US. Almost nowhere else on Earth has the same kind of income disparity that the US has. You can't take a developing nation where 50% of people live in poverty, and compare it to a developed nation where no one needs to live in poverty but are forced to do so by manipulated housing and job markets.

  • Pretty sure them only existing on authorized streaming services means they're in direct danger of being lost, forgotten, or destroyed. Copyright holders generally are against preservation. They love it when their products are scarce.

  • Yes. If the minimum wage went up to something livable, do you think the restaurant owners are going to eat the cost or pass it along to you? Them putting an 18% surcharge, assuming that that's an auto-gratuity that goes to the server, is the exact same as if you were begrudgingly tipping 18%. That being said, that should be announced somewhere as an official company policy. If you want a servant to make and bring you food, you have to pay for that luxury. You've just been paying below actual market price for that luxury since you've been born.
