Being prone to conspiratorial thinking and at the same time being a victim of the US education system and lacking critical thinking skills is a pretty macabre combination.
But sure, anyone who disagrees with you is a bot, or a paid shill!
Libs really think they can vote themselves out of capitalism and the climate crisis, how sad is that?
Small businesses are very often forced to compete with bigger players by exploiting their workers more and make higher margins on the same product/service. That’s just how a capitalist ownership structure works out.
I guess it’s the deathrattle of the petit-bourgeois that’s spinning up these romanticized stories about themselves because they don’t want to accept their class is being dissolved and most of them are forced into the possessionless existence of being a worker.
Google SafetyNet checks, probably.
Got any actual points to argue?
The German Bundeswehr is completely riddled with (Neo-) Nazis and Fascists and has lost around 48.000 rounds of ammunition and more than 60kg of explosives that reappeared in the hands of a neonazi militia, and that’s just a single incident.
It’s bizarre that people pretend that the existance of a well-armed national army is somehow good for them as citizens? All that you get from your country being able to “defend itself” is a higher likelyhood of being put into the meat grinder that is war.
Freedom is worthless when you’re dead. Anyone who says they’d rather die defending their nation than being ruled over by another nation is either a liar, an idiot or a lunatic. (Talking about a capitalist nation being attacked by another here, wars of extermination are an obvious exception, since you’re not defending your nation but the people around you)

I’d say it’s an affront to humanity in both cases
The Ukrainian army is using them as well.

“Denazification” after WW2 was a farce. Only the Soviet-occupied territories actually purged Nazi officials (even they let some slip through or even get new roles), but the other Allied forces basically just got a bunch of Nazis to tone down that Nazi stuff and pretend to be liberal democrats.
How was I being bad faith? I presented numerous arguments as to why what the other person was saying was completely nonsensical, and my annoyed tone changes nothing about that fact. Notice how they adressed none of them, and both of you just focus on your poor little hurt feelings because someone on the internet spoke to you in an unsanitized tone. It’s almost like you’re distracting from how wrong your positions are on purpose.
You don’t even know what you’re talking about, conflating apples and oranges. The Baltic independence movements aren’t referred to as color revolutions, those happened in the 2000s in Yugoslavia, Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan.
And of course, something cannot be the result of foreign involvement, awful racial-nationalist thought that has plagued the Baltics for ages (and still does), and malevolent capital interests if lots of people are holding hands, that much is clear.
Holy liberal brainrot. Did you just seriously link the wikipedia article for “color revolutions”, a series of CIA-backed counterrevolutionary and deeply reactionary insurgencies, as a list for successful non-violent ‘revolutions’?
All of those color revolutions had massive detrimental effects on the population, skyrocketing inequality, destroying decades of progress in women’s liberation (the ex-Yugo regions for example still aren’t close to catching back up), and destroying education systems and economies, forcing them to sell out to international capital.
So how exactly did they produce “better institutional outcomes” than actual Socialist revolutions? Easier to exploit on the world market? Better startup culture? Lmao
Well said, comrade! Even if I don’t think it’ll help this person understand…
The same could be said to defend Reddits moderation culture. Not saying I have a better idea or anything.
Yeah, but if you think Reddit moderators are bad, wait til you find out about the opinionated gatekeeping mess of censorship and harmful idealism that is the Wikipedia moderation.
Literally the first sentence of your wikipedia article explains that these are different ideologies trying to achieve the same thing, a communist society.
You seem like you’re suffering from a bad case of Dunning-Kruger. You’ve been explained very basic terms multiple times, but you keep repeating your completely wrong understanding undeterred, with brazen authority.
It makes you someone who doesn’t understand what those terms mean, so a modern liberal.
Look: you can either own means of production and be part of the ruling class, or you can not own any and be forced to sell your labor for the rest of your life. A social welfare state is something that purposely built by the ruling class to further their interests, with some concessions to past union efforts.
That’s not what socialism is, trust me, I live in a country with one of the oldest and strongest Social Democratic impact in the world, and while the effects of that are still nice today they do not change anything about the fact that a huge majority works to enrich a tiny minority, and Social Democrats like you have never seriously put an effort into changing that, historically.
Reading comprehension is also in a bad spot. That sentence is not telling anyone not to vote. It’s saying that even if you vote for the lesser evil, the country is still falling apart.
Look, if I was part of some sinister influence operation, why would I pick the instance that makes libs like you (the people I’d likely want to influence in that case) freak out as soon as they see it? You’re not making any sense, not everything is about the US, the rest of the world is rejoicing at the great satan finally getting its comeuppance.
