ikr? How dare they!

According to the post description, he was punished AFTER he ticketed the higher ranking cop’s friend. Where did you pick up the being punished before part?

Seeing that they oppose school lunches, gun control and free healthcare, not your children’s lives either.

I reckon Gaza’s dystopia is anything but boring.

Oh ok. Sorry for sounding a bit harsh but it did seem to me the way you mentioned.

That’s a bad faith argument.

This way of binary thinking also has a Capitalsm equivalent. Some say Capitalsm ALWAYS end up in neo-liberal economies and with late stage Capitalsm with oligarchs and the death of the free market. For example oligarchs control most of the US economy and most economic policies are put forward with lobbying money. Is has become increasingly harder to start a small business in the US, hence US citizens’ tendancy to romantacize the Europe. If you say that Socialist movements ALWAYS end up in dictatorships then Capitalist moves should ALWAYS end up in late stage Capitalsm and the death of the free market.

In reality no contry is purely Capitalist or Socialist anymore. Otherwise the US wouldn’t put tariffs on Chinese cars to protect GM, Ford and now Tesla. A direct contradiction to free market policies. Meanwhile there isn’t a huge tariff especially for US cars in China. China ended up leaning towards Capitalism than before. Scandinavian countries absorbed a lof of leftist policies into their modern day government. Most of Vienna’s houses are government owned. Everyone has mixed policies because there are good in both Capitalist and Socialist principles. You just have to be implement whatever is good for the people and economy in a given climate.

It’s an incorrect example. For North Korea to be a Socialist paradise, it has to be Socialist first.

It’s like me saying the US would’ve been a Socialist paradise were it not for Trump’s presidency. It doesn’t have a base to construct a hypothesis.

Agree with some if your points but North Korea is not a socialist country. Their self proclamation doesn’t make it one in ths same way that I can proclaim to the the smartest person in the world without it being true.

Having democracy (voting rights) is a prerequisite for a socialist society. Some forms of socialism has a proxy government, but that government is elected by the people. The most basic requirement for socialism is a country where its workers decide on its production. North Korea is a dictatorship and has a command economy. Saying North Korea is socialist is akin to saying England in the middle ages were socialist. Both countries were governed by dictators and everything was decided by the kings court. We call that Fuedlism, not Socialism, don’t we?

But Europe is old and built in the medieval times. This will never be successful here. /s

Storied is the best! Dr. Erika seems to be someone fun to hangout with but you also learn from her while doing that even without trying.

Why would you want to buy new buds?

Please don’t do this. This will spawn feds continuously forever.

Except it’s the other way around. Ashoka gave up conquering after he converted to Buddhism.

A company.

What a shocker to find out his political party. /s

If only there was a free and open platform as an alternative to Reddit.

Musk is being a little bitch about the free market?

That’s not normal behaviour. Kid needs to be tried as an adult and locked up for life. Then mental health evaluation consistently with a chance to be released after 25 years with good behaviour.
