What is the most severe case of brainwashing you have seen?
  • "Well, that's just how it is"

    Person attempting to justify an injustice they also suffer, without even a thought about whether it being "how it is" might actually be connected to all the people saying dumb stuff like "Well, that's just how it is."

    Language mimicry
  • You mean like how Butcher from "the boys" sounds like a kiwi mimicking all the accents from a Guy Ritchie movie at the same time.

  • I'd say that's the fundamental tenet of remaining one.

    Nothing cures Christianity like reading the bible with even the mildest of assumptions that God's moral reasoning might be, at best, somewhat to be desired.

  • A better question, more in line with the logic of the meme, in the modern age would be "of those people whos parents own wildly successful businesses, how many of you work in the family firm?"

    Abolish capitalism
  • I think you'd be hard pressed to find any example of capitalism ever being anything different, in terms of collusion and gouging.

    The idea that it could ever be even remotely fair, let alone competitive, is more utopian than anything you'll see in post-structural socialism.

    Political narratives that aged like bread
  • Nope, I had no idea. I'm not American. In fact, I don't even know who you're referring to as "R."

    But I thought about how I would feel if it was me and I through, yeah, I'd feel pretty silly but I'd also be happy about being wrong.

    I just thought it would be fair to them to mention it.

    It sounds bad though, whatever it is. That definitely came across.

    Why are so many leaders in tech evil?
  • Nope, come on man are you kidding me (?) and disagree again.

    I agree that maybe you can't but that doesn't make it true or not. The last Conservative government of great Britain showed themselves to be utterly corrupted by greed and capitalism. They didn't even have to pretend not to rip the entire country off during the covid pandemic.

    Even then, its not "more" or less than the US. My point is just that capitalism corrupts all governments, to one extent or another, because its incompatible with democracy.

    If there is a top, in terms of money or having things etc., then it isn't communism.

  • I mean, I made a point not to use legality as a moral argument but you went ahead and said that anyway....

    Sorry but it wasn't someone starving or mentally ill. Its anyone who just feels like robbing you because its "whats better for them in the moment" per the below:

    Blameing people for doing what’s better for them in the moment, instead of what’s immediately difficult but ultimately better for everyone, is always wrong.

    Its not like the people hiring undocumented people are doing so because they're starving or mentally ill either. So, its a bizzare caveat to throw in, out of no where.

    I mean, if you're going to claim you wouldn't blame somone for robbing you when they could have just asked you, as you even say yourself, in order to not have to admit that people are actually culpable for their own actions then I don't know what to say to that.

  • Please name which country in Europe has a government thats hasn't been bought and paid off.

    Of course, no one can. Unfortunately, that's because capitalism is incompatible with actual democracy. Theres isn't a country in the world whos democratic process and systems of governance hasn't been utterly corrupted by capitalism and all that it brings with it.

    If there's a top that someone could rise to, it isn't communism.

  • Personally, I would say its not something that applies to those things in the same way. It isn't illegal to have a hight carbon footprint or eat junk food but it is illegal to employ undocumented workers. The problem is, they choose to employ non documented workers because they can force them to accept appalling and unlawful work conditions as well as massively underpaying them for the value of their work.

    If always then it would apply to someone who found robbing and killing you better for them in the moment. The harder thing would be for them to get a job and earn that money.

    Would blaming somone for robbing and killing you be wrong?
