if u got no responsibilities, just leave for australia or UK, you will adapt super quick and work-life-balance and public transport is so much better there
- Comment on My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased. 2 weeks ago:
I get your point, but capitalism wasn’t always the norm. If you say corps control everything, it’s partially due to a faulty political system and a lack of interest in politics. And for that apathy, the citizens can absolutely be blamed. And again, if there wasn’t a superficial culture in the US where you HAVE to wear brands and drive european cars to not be ousted, there wouldnt be as much consumption. If you treat school like a cat walk, prepare to pay for designer clothes. The parent in the original post blames Nike for marketing. Yes, but if the kids around their kid weren’t pointing and laughing, this kid would feel very confortable to continue to wear sketchers. Kids are a product of their environment, bring them up in a ultra-capitalist environment and all they care about growing up is money and status. And it starts in school already. Group thinking is hugely problematic and not even thematized yet. This ousting because your parents can’t afford G-Star Raw is the only reason I would advocate for school uniforms. Something has to change but just pointing and assigning blame isn’t helping anyone and especially not the kid crying.

dont blame nike, blame the over-consumption introduced by unchecked capitalism. Comparing yourself to your surround has become the norm, leading to an increase in depression and, like you wrote, consuming too much. Americans on average buy 68 new clothing items PER YEAR, PER PERSON!! Maybe dont blame the kids, they are a product of their surrounding. Blame politics, and blame yourself if you have done too little politics in the last decades

sorry if this was unclear, english is not my mother tongue. I meant pedagogy as a whole. Societal norms and manners and such. Not how to cat call a woman lmao
- Comment on School legend 2 weeks ago:
kids are cruel and usually lack any form of empathy, which is why they are “more direct”. Empathy is taught later on. But, taking pictures, sending dickpics, cat calling you are manners and those should have been teached by their parents. This is vile behaviour and those parents should know what their children are doing at school, maybe partially because of the lack of parental education. I am sorry you had to go through that and feel that helpless about it.

one fact I found shocking is that currently only about 30% of humans use toilet paper. And yes I am aware of bidets, but that’s not the remaining 70%, is it?
- Comment on We live wasted lives 3 weeks ago:
hell yeah brother, 30 hours a week, 4 weeks paid vacation, guaranteed and paid for further education courses, protection from being fired while pregnant/ at home with newborn, minimum wage, privacy laws and employee protection laws, unionization, multiple paid federal holidays. I fuckin love Europe.

the poorest europoor is now Hungary. What 20 years of autocrat oppression does to a nation (I really hope you can beat his party at next elections, good luck from Germany <3)

it costs coca cola more to produce those attached caps than not, are you saying coca cola was pushing for saving the environment? lol
It’s an EU regulation meant to battle bottle caps being a major problem for marine wild life, where bigger sea mammals and fish swallow them and suffocate from it. Why are you lobbying for mega corporations willingly and for free? Did you hit your head as child one time too many?

in Germany it is required by law that you have a 30 minute break if you work for 6 or more hours, and that is federal minimum. Turbo-capitalism ruins a society

crazy how quickly people come to terms with an absolutely privacy-infringing regime, that wants to control every single aspect of your life to the point where they want to guide the train of thoughts in your head as to never think a bad thought about Trumpy Dumb or his cronies

I am waiting for the GPU’s to use the rotating kinetic power of the fans to feed back into the GPU to give them ERS boost like in formula 1, when scenes become to graphically demanding. If you steal my idea that is intellectual theft and I will be sad!

- Comment on What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany 5 weeks ago:
he lost to Merkel twice, lost to Armin fuckin Laschet, lost to Scholz and was now only voted for because the alternative is even more radical conservative. We voted the lesser evil, not who is best suited for the job. He was Chairman of the Supervisory Board of BlackRock Germany, Commerzbank, Axa Versicherung, the DAX (german stock market), IVG (huge real estate group) and was chairman of many more lobbying groups and corporations. He is as corrupt as they come and has absolutely no interest in bettering the quality of life for the middle class and lower income families. He is working for billionaires, opposes immigration, hates change, calls for border checks in the Schengen-area, promotes heterosexual families, hates women (literally, he opposes a law that protects women from marital rape) and so much more. Like I wrote, give that party 5 years (especially CSU) and they will have the same demands as the AfD. After Isolation and border closing comes exit of the EU, exit of the Euro, Exit of NATO, until we are left alone and weakened enough to get pushed around again

rest now weary reader, you did good to inform some lemmists on the reality of living in a world war. Very interesting read, many thanks! also for typing it out in such length
- Comment on What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany 1 month ago:
to add to that, Merz was the chairman of a huge number of big corporations, said himself he travelled to the US over 170 times and is a “incorrigible optimist” when it comes to the USA (his words), he absolutely adores ultra-capitalism and has the exact same conservative ideas as the republican party. We sold out in order not to get the AfD elected, but elected a party that is just as extreme, just 5 years behind.
