  According to…that woman with a book about his wealth? Article says 70 to 200 btw, not 200.

  Yes, Putin’s in charge, with his one hundred million dollars and zero sway over the entire Western economic establishment.

  It’s not laymen, it’s a journalist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOP Proposes $4.5 Trillion Tax Giveaway to the Rich While 'Ransacking' Food Stamps and Medicaid⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It is factually incorrect. It is not giving them money, it is taking less money from them.

  I hate the language around the federal budget. First, how budget figures are reporting in 10 year intervals, when everything else is reported in 1 year intervals. So everything sounds 10 times bigger. Second, how reductions in tax (like to the rich) are reported as “giveaways”. Taxes go in, not out. That’s a reduction in revenue, not an expenditure or liability. You can say, “shift the tax burden even more onto the lower and middle classes”. Then it’s actually accurate.

  History will look back at the American empire and judge all its complicit civilians equally. It’s Democrat vanity that makes them think they’re not in the same genocidal boat as Republicans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uniquely American⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not blaming anyone for not being able to do it, but rather just practically speaking - only thing you can really do in this economy is manage to squeeze enough money out of wage labor to get into trading. A lot easier said than done. The game people try to play of climbing up the corporate ladder is a dead end.

  Yes, this was in 1984, the TVs that watch you back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current day America has proven beyond a doubt, humanity is the only animal that wouldn't jump out of a slowly boiling pot of water.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t the first empire. Masses can be brainwashed. You can even have multiple layers of brainwashing, like how Republicans are extremely brainwashed, and Democrats are secondarily brainwashed to think they’re the moral opposition, while both of them unquestioningly support the undercurrent of global imperialism.

  Doesn’t really seem to help when it still shows their username…

  I didn’t vote for Harris because she’s one of them. I also don’t use food delivery. Enjoying your feeling of superiority from pointing out the hypocrisy of random group intersections?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the USA turned into an oligarchy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are political cartoons from over a century ago where they’re talking about how much of an oligarchy it is.

  Also around Season 3 of Handmaid’s Tale, with Janine.
