No.
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Bill Ackman pledges to bankroll any NYC mayoral candidate capable of defeating Zohran Mamdani1·12 hours agoGotta remember we’re talking about state guards too - cops, military, etc. They stopped an invasion of the capitol by killing one lady. They would’ve killed many more if necessary… And those were their own fascist protestors. They’ll murder progressives/leftists en masse without remorse. Just check out any fascist state (eg. pinochet)…
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Bill Ackman pledges to bankroll any NYC mayoral candidate capable of defeating Zohran Mamdani2·12 hours agoYou don’t think the entire police/military is already enough guards? They need a few more personal ones?

One Luigi isn’t going to change that.
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Bill Ackman pledges to bankroll any NYC mayoral candidate capable of defeating Zohran Mamdani1·12 hours agoIE. The rich can easily avoid state taxes but it takes special “accounting” to avoid national taxes.
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Bill Ackman pledges to bankroll any NYC mayoral candidate capable of defeating Zohran Mamdani1·12 hours agoIn USA it’s not even nationally coordinated. Forget about globally. That’s the whole point. The state doesn’t fix capitalism but rather violently enforces it.
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Bill Ackman pledges to bankroll any NYC mayoral candidate capable of defeating Zohran Mamdani1·12 hours agoThat’s why the founding enslavers setup a federal system of states. So the states could compete with each other to see who best serves capital.
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Bill Ackman pledges to bankroll any NYC mayoral candidate capable of defeating Zohran Mamdani3·12 hours agoIf you’re American, you pay taxes to the US no matter where you live.
lol… That’s not how rich people do things.

Nobody who massively exploits people for their own disgusting privilege is ever a good person.
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Bill Ackman pledges to bankroll any NYC mayoral candidate capable of defeating Zohran Mamdani24·12 hours agoThese are the ultra privileged who always get their candidates without any debate whatsoever.
This is the extremely rare exception where they show their faces.

If money were distributed from the rich to the poor, the astounding thing wouldn’t be the numbers in bank accounts but rather the complete inversion of capitalist values. And if these values/systems are inverted, then money is meaningless.
I don’t think these comparisons are supposed to be literal. It’s more about the massive inequality and anti-human values of the current system. Realistically capitalism is violently enforced by states, etc. so there will continue to be no justice in the foreseeable future.

Cool anecdote.
We are omnivores, accept that fact.
Cool pseudo-science derived from an anecdote. Even if I believed your story, in reality people don’t actually need meat.
it requires personal effort and research to find substitutes
Yes, it takes effort to do something different from the rest of society. Apparently you’ve never done this.
And most just prefer some meat or fish now and then.
Cool story.
Even sheep eat chicks, there, i said it.
Nobody gives a shit. Nobody is saying go veg because sheep are veg. This is just more wacky carnist babbling.
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Disney killed a bunch of puppies making "Snow Buddies" and weren't allowed to use the "no animals were harmed" claimEnglish34·2 days agoYes, that’s the cognitive dissonance of carnism. “How could torturing one animal possibly be the same as torturing another? We have different categories for torturing!!!” smh.
Weed vapes are healthy tho right? :/
