“Beans on toast” is a classic English sandwich.

The woke is coming from inside the house.

But have you considered that the economy is doing great and that the people struggling with debt should just pull themselves up by the bootstraps and should be blamed and shamed as individuals until they do so?

Americans don’t have healthcare because their masters don’t want them to have it, not because the money is being spent elsewhere.

The US has one of the world’s highest per capita public spendings on healthcare and the highest private. There are more money per capita in the American healthcare system than in any other system in human history. The money is there already. What is lacking is political will to make these money go towards actual healthcare instead of grifts, corruption and rent extraction.

For the 32nd consecutive year the UN shows itself to be useless by not doing anything in the material world to prevent American economic warfare and terrorism against Cuba.

If you’re not ready to protect life and freedom by getting blown up within a week of arriving at the front in an unwinnable war you’re a bad person.

One would hope work would be significantly less miserable under socialism though

Korea is clearly afraid of an invasion.

Never trust anything you read on the internet

Under capitalism workers have to put up with jobs that makes them miserable. Otherwise they will become unemployed and even more miserable.

This is the best, most efficient and most rational economic system ever.

It is almost impossible for a character in a Hollywood film to speak with a Slavic accent and smoke a cigarette without also being some sort of asshole.

But also “if someone slices you across the stomach with a big sword you don’t bleed you just hold your stomach and fall over while going ‘arrghh’”

Magic computers that can sharpen and enlarge a grainy CCTV frame enough that you can read what people are typing on their phone.

The American president that goes “gee-haw we really need to stop Voldemort so the people of Agrabad can enjoy democracy and human rights!”

The divorced single-parent cop who struggles to make family life work despite being good at solving big scary crime.

The “we just want to do senseless evil for no apparent reason” terrorists

Literally a bunch of man-babies who doesn’t want to eat their vegetables.

An alarmingly large part of public discourse in the west happens on that level

In the mouths of western politicians, the word “diplomacy” is synonymous with unconditional surrender. They would rather burn the world to the ground than accept that they can’t get all of their maximalist demands and engage in actual good faith negotiations with their adversaries, trying to work out a compromise.

BOOH! Get new material!

We have sold the same glass of lemonade back and forth between eachother 8 million times so somehow we both have negative tax rates now!

They said on Trashfuture that the banks who financed Musk’s Twitter takeover are unable to resell the debt. They are now stuck with a large and essentially worthless asset that is hanging like an albatross around the legs of their portfolios.

This has allegedly already caused some bankers to not get their bonuses.

Capitalism drives innovation!

The innovation:

They found out that the reason is that the purpose of American institutions like the military or the healthcare system is not to do what it says on the box but rather to line the pockets of politically connected oligarchs.
