Welp, it had to happen eventually. Somebody will want to talk politics so here it is. This is specifically for US Politics.
I will make rules as I see the need but fro now please just be kind to each other.
@SwarmShawarma again, you can't blame capitalism for that
Especially when most of those countries are socialist
@Stigma no kidding.
I actually like Melania as a person, but I am not remotely interested in seeing that movie.
Then again, it's probably better than most of the woke crap churned out over the past decade+
@MentORPHEUS What @Typo-MAGAshiv said. There are many inefficient markets in the U.S. where cronyism, government favors, and connections prevail rather than competition on price and services. I read something truly remarkable about Epstein: he had the CIA's airline moved from Florida to Columbus, Ohio. How can a private citizen do such a thing?
If Capitalism is supposed to work as a market driven Meritocracy
supposed to
That's an easy one.
People are still involved, and people suck. Nepotism, cronyism, etc.
Capitalism is the closest to fair we can possibly do in an inherently flawed, unfair world.
Also:
@MentORPHEUS Oh, here’s the director with Epstein…!
The Melania movie bombed epically hard. Big theaters reported single digit ticket sales on opening night. The memes have been hilarious, one showed Melania tickets under a windshield wiper, with the caption Just came out of Costco... Every car in the parking lot.
@MentORPHEUS I would say people are reasonable then. Who gives a fuck about her? Even for the women... except being arm candy she doesn't really stir up shit like tiktok girls, if she would appear on epstein files doing some weird shit and film would be advertised: this is how 50 shades of Melanie is done... I could see 1 woman buying 3 tickets.
That also goes for Trump I believe. If there would be like 100% definite proof on him. Reasonable people wouldn't have problem to flush him in the toilet as long as someone would guarantee the same no BS politics - or whatever people believe. Sure him being a face of changes, support would go down in reality.
@Typo-MAGAshiv one might even say it is so perfect that instead of outright mass murder of ppl, people murder themselves or don't want to procreate etc.
One might say capitalism and constant drive to improve stuff brought us to state where only BS can be improved, so we have invented new problems: namely give ALL women the right to vote
I leave a link here to video from Spain, assuming it is real.
