This is just going to result in me pulling up a source that you don't deem reputable, only for you to pull up a source that I don't deem reputable.

You are confidently wrong, pepe the frog is originally from a stoner comic. Besides, I am married, so the whole incel thing doesn't exactly check out.

Edit: Very revealing how absolutely everything I post is downvoted by default, despite this comment being irrefutable fact.

Fundamentally disagreeing on facts.

And this is the point where any further discussion makes no sense. Goodbye.

Centrism is rejection of political extremes. It is nuance and critically questioning everything. It means criticizing your own side. Contrary to popular belief It is the opposite of being a coward, because everyone will hate you.

Well, thank god China and Russia don't do this.

I think that is also a very one-sided view on this issue. The truth most likely lies somewhere in the middle. Germany for example has a lot of social services (universal healthcare, unemployment securities, etc.) and is still doing exceptionally well.

Neither system is perfect. Physical goods (except resources, food and medicine) can become obsolete, demand may drop significantly (especially for luxury products), can be boycotted if you piss off citizens of a rival country enough and they are subject to tariffs, which is obviously relevant with the arrogant dickhead in the white house.

Edit: I think it's still fair to say that GDP is certainly good rough indication of how well a country is doing economically. Otherwise what would be the point if everyone thinks it is useless?

Notice how everyone has given up on any discussion with you guys? I am the one dumbass who still occasionally shows up to get shat on. So be happy you still got me, otherwise you'd just be jerking each other off. Here I'll even help you guys out and downvote myself.

I completely agree.

Ouch, that hurts. Well, we can only change the present and future, so that's what we should focus on.

That is actually a good point. You are absolutely right about this one. Chapeau

Price increase ≠ actual retail price.

Show me a burger for 28 cents.

I never said it made it okay. What you are doing is straw man rhetoric, a manipulative strategy to discredit someone.

Sowas muss doch nicht sein.

No need to get emotional and personal. I would love to see a source on how vegetables are more expensive than junk food and I'll gladly change my mind.

Edit: Alternatively you can just downvote my comments and leave. That'll show me.

Another point I want to make is that body positivity is evil. Telling obese people they are healthy and should feel good about it should be a crime. Are these body positivity people going to cheer on someones first diabetic amputation?

That's good, I don't either, although people might claim otherwise.

Look, most people know that eating 50 burgers isn't healthy, so stop putting the blame on others.

They are, because they are allowed to bring less total weight onto the plane. (71kg vs 124kg)

Obesity is a curable disease that people are self responsible for. Drug addicts are shamed and no one cares. Even peoples height (which they have zero control over) is shamed and no one bats an eye. Im not saying you should be rude to overweight people, but there are ridiculous double standards.
