Can I just lay claim to random pieces of land in Africa? I mean all people came from there at one point right?

Her name is Speaker, which is apt because she’s loud and demanding of pets/cuddles. She’s also blind but you’d never guess since she gets around fairly well.

She looks so much like my girl, could be sisters.

I work in ecology. The amount of times that weather or nature has plans counter to my own has been too great to count. Just gotta go with the flow and deal with the cards you have in a given moment. It doesn’t mean you can’t be upset about something, but at some point you realize that it’s not useful.

Yeah I have no idea how these people don’t get it. Are the Palestinians expected to just accept having their calories counted and reduced, their water limited, and their electricity shut off? Like what sort of peace do you think is possible?

Cope

It’s moderated, your shit was removed lmao.

Agreed, we need for the Europeans and occupiers to go home.

Yeah totally, words are a war crime. Get a grip you’re hysterical.

And Sauron taught Voldemort who taught Thangos who taught Putler.

Well yeah, the average American is broke. And the average house is expensive. Give me whatever funding this study receives because this shit didn’t need one.

Are you sure? I’m pretty sure if they roll a 4 or greater they get to be the president, during which time they may impeach the former president and wear their clothes.

Wrong, it’s delicious. The Hawaiians got it right.

Aliens or Predator both have our beautiful military boys and girls getting got by our alien overlords.

Girl dinner?

Agreed, it’s why progressive is a meaningless term that only losers use.

It would have to be a really shitty surrender treaty to have the clause “Ukraine will surrender all land to Russia and will also die anyways.” Like you realize this is useless and dumb hyperbole right?

Link this whenever people tell you posting doesn’t matter.

As far as I’ve ever been aware, socialism is the use of tax dollars to provide goods or services

I’ve seen others comment but I’ll add my own two cents. You don’t know what socialism is, and that’s not a criticism of you, it’s just a fact.

What you’re describing is social democracy wherein governments allow a capitalist relationship to the means of production to exist while providing social programs and investing. Socialism and Capitalism are about the worker’s relationship to the means of production. Under capitalism Capitalists take money generated by worker’s surplus labor as profits and use these profits to create a government that will protect their power to continue stealing from their workers. Under socialism profits are not held privately but publicly, by worker’s or socialist governments that exist to redistribute the ill gotten wealth of the Capitalists.

It’s not about how many programs a government does or the taxes it collects, it’s about the workers relations to the means of production. The problem with social democracy, which Lenin pointed out over a hundred years ago in State and Revolution, is that by letting Capitalists exist they will not allow workers to take away their wealth and power democratically, they will use fascism to secure their wealth. Another problem is that these programs cannot exist for long because Capitalists are parasites and will do everything they can to privatize them and milk as much profit out of them as possible, for examples of this look at nearly every government program that exists in Europe and point to me one that works better now than it did 30 years ago before Capitalists had time to take cuts out of it, it’s a really big problem typically with healthcare programs in these countries.
