Thanks, that’s one race I definitely don’t keep up to date on. All billionaires need to cease to exist.

Pretending something that was never stateless, classless, and moneyless but rather quite the fucking opposite (E: and was never going to end up there, either) was communism, shows you need to hit the books on how communism is actually intended to function.
And yet, he’s still one of the what, 5 richest people on the planet?
He doesn’t give a shit, and neither should you (as nice as the schadenfreude might feel). He got something worth more to him than plain old money - an established propaganda platform, which he is using as he intended - to war monger and otherwise interfere in politics to ensure fascism progresses as fast as he can help it. The “dent” (more like a surface scratch) it put in his finances is completely invisible and irrelevant to him.
And it should be to you, too.
He is NEVER going to end up without means or power, not even fucking close, unless we take them from him, and abolish the system that encouraged and enabled him to amass them in the first place.
One exception to it :
fascistscapitalists managed to convince people who can only lose stuff to a war that it’s good for them too.
Fascism is capitalism in decay, there is no exception.
Lol, you mean the state capitalists? You’re not making the (weak, “whatabout”) point you think you are, but hey, your confidence in your wilful ignorance in defence of those exploiting you for profit* is almost impressive! (but not really) 🙄😂
*E: and guess what, I don’t even need to know where you live to say this, because every working class person on the planet is currently being exploited for profit through both labour and war, but don’t let that get in the way of the bootlicking you’ve come here to do in self-destructive defence of your beloved capitalism (I threw up in my mouth a little)…
When my cat was a baby she got tangled by the neck in a blinds cord, thankfully I was right there, but it scared the shit out of me. I rent, and still (and everywhere else I’ve lived) have corded blinds, but the cords are now rolled up and tied to the top so they’re out of the way. This kind of regulation is a good thing.
Lmfao, sorry (not sorry), I should have included feudalists too I guess, to avoid bootlicking pedants… 🙄
The point stands - war is waged for profit by profiteers, not by random civilians trying to live their lives, always was, always will be.
You misspelled “capitalists”.
Right? But as is always the case with sexual violence - some people will always make excuses. It’s just easier for them than confronting the reality (E: that it’s even a possibility), usually because they’re far enough removed from being at direct risk.
They were both adult men of similar age.
Which has literally nothing to do with consent. Men rape other men their own age all the fucking time. What a ridiculous and wilfully ignorant point to try and make, jfc…
It’s because tankies aren’t communists, they’re authoritarians.
I think that’s the point, just like with “a few bad apples”, the original intent of the saying has been subverted to help those in power keep the rest of us down (if you just do this impossible thing, you’ll be just like us! Why don’t you just do that impossible thing already, you useless lazy bastard? And so on. It’s part cognitive dissonance to make themselves feel like they’re “self made”, part gaslighting convincing us we’re just not trying hard enough).
Vegan Madras curry with rice (also, it’s 6am, I fell asleep at some point yesterday evening and only woke up again a couple of hours ago, chronic fatigue is a bitch).
Well at least it was consensual
Says the only person who left the room alive.
I’m not saying it was or wasn’t (E: or that the death was planned or deliberate, though that is a possibility, however unlikely), or that consensually doing drugs together and having sex is wrong in itself, but the chem-sex world is absolutely rife with rape, coercion, and abuse, so to just assume it was consensual is a big leap.
I will remember survivorship bias
The just world fallacy is another one worth remembering, in the context of your post, but also generally.
Also
If hard work led to success, then a poor person working three jobs should be rich.
You got George Monbiot’s quote almost exactly word for word:
He didn’t have to work three jobs to pay rent, but he is set up as a rags-to-riches story, using elbow grease and grit to become the mogul he is.
Lastly, you’re right, but it’s important to remember what he does have, and why - privilege, and lots of it (being a white man from a rich background, with a supportive family to boot? They all put his starting points miles ahead of most others), which he is given by white supremacist patriarchal capitalism, which is why he (and many others, even without the billions, privilege is one hell of a drug) will never work to end those systems and work towards creating a world where everyone has equitable access and opportunity.
Capitalist propaganda.
“Aspiration” to be more precise, it’s one of the ways capitalists convince large segments of the public that they’re temporarily embarrassed millionaires, who just need to pull their bootstraps up hard enough, and they will make it, like the people in the programme did (conveniently they never address things like racism, sexism, queerphobia, ableism, and other barriers that many people have to face just to survive, never mind thrive, and the fact that all of these barriers are artificial and created by people who benefit just as much from dividing society up and pitting us against each other, as they do from selling us rags-to-riches bullshit to get us to work harder to make them money).
Saying hes a racist purely off of a product price is the equivalent of the pet eating ohio comments.
Jfc, you Nazi apologists are fucking wild, comparing a white supremacist openly broadcasting a Nazi dog whistle, to a bunch of immigrants who literally did nothing to no one but were still made a target for violence by those same white supremacists for the sin of existing while being Black is vile beyond belief.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
but maybe just to get in the headlines again…
…because he knew it is a Nazi dog whistle.
So he’s either a Nazi, or he knows enough about Nazis to know how to appeal directly to them, and is happy to do so for publicity (so, an enthusiastic collaborator with Nazis at the very fucking least).
You really should examine with yourself why you feel the need to jump to the defence of a Nazi.
I bet I can guess which school this is in one try - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michaela_Community_School
Hearing the headmistress talk about her attitudes to kids and their education (and indoctrination) is stomach churning.
