- Comment on Gunman pleads guilty to Japan ex-PM's murder 1 day ago:
Abe was by no means low down in the hierarchy though . He was very much complicit from a position of power. So while it isn’t the same as shooting the ceo, it shouldn’t be taken as shooting a random scientologist.
And more importantly, it worked.

I mean quite literally, yes. There’s a lot of things that are justifiable against an evil that aren’t against a good. Now people’s opinions on what is good differ, and that’s a dangerous thing that needs to be considered. But yeah, violence is acceptable against authoritarianism and not acceptable against democracy.

- Comment on Western Executives Shaken After Visiting China 1 week ago:
western militaries’ PR is the same - small forces, technical superiority, organization and logistics
The usa army has 1.3 million active personnel. China has 2 million. Usa’s is not small by population % or absolute amount.
So I’m going to take a guess and assume you mean Europe’s specifically, not a generalized “the west’s”

When you pay rent. When you pay the bank. Most of paying is for labor, yes, a crazy amount more than most people realize. But the wealthy skim some off the top, and that portion isn’t paying for labor.
- Comment on What even is money at this point 4 weeks ago:
Case in point. If you’re buying a 2 pound flour bag you’re scamming yourself lol
- Comment on What even is money at this point 5 weeks ago:
If 1 kg of flour is 2$ but a small piece of bread is 7$ you know it’s a scam…
