This is what I always find amusing about the Communist argument.

Like, the elected politicians and bureaucracy can’t be trusted enough to regulate industry under capitalism so we’ll centralize things and then trust them to regulate industry under Communism?

Edit: whoof, should’ve thought about human nature when I dared to criticize communism. Almost lime there is another lesson somehwere there.

so, it’s the goddamn weekend. How does everyone have so much free time this late on a Saturday? I’ll do my best to get back to y’all on a dirty capitalist’s time slot.

I think the “oh, fuck, that was an invitation!” moment several minutes/hours after the fact is one of the most universal moments.

could reply that eating food falls well within a communist system, therefore you can’t blame communism for famines.

Try again when you’re sober, that’s not a particular cogent argument.

A carbon tax falls well within a capitalist system (much the same as any other tax or method of dealing with externalities) so I’d put that as a failure of democratic systems more than anything.

I’m also not convinced communism would actually solve the problem. Communists have historically been pretty reluctant to share bad news, from letting folks know about mass starvations to, oh, most of the world news in China.

Yeah but deciding not to vote for Biden just feels like a good trendy way to express my sympathies with Palestineans… /s

Generally, social justice is at best, a distraction from real issues, albeit with very good intentions.

(We talk about human dignity, representation in film etc but not say, the fact most of our stuff is made by children who occasionally burn to death making it. If I were one of the billionaires running things, I would be overjoyed that people were so distracted about what a comedian said versus how our entire economic model is structured.)

The Shallows is a painfully plausible answer for why you might be finding it harder to concentrate.

Basically, the way phones/computers work is designed to mess with our basic brain functions.

I think this wonderful lady beat everyone to it!
