Totally, we can see socialist systems that work well alongside the free market, most of Scandinavia, Australia, Czech Republic, etc We’ve got the answers, we should just aspire to implement similar policies that actually work

I understand what they’re trying to do, and I’m sympathetic to the idea of wanting a well-intentioned authoritarian after decades of failing capitalist democracies, but freedom and individual rights are so hard to gain and so easy to lose and I believe they’re worth fighting for.

I can’t imagine that many twins fuck. It’s still incest, there’s probably genetic factors that stop them being into that

The political left and authoritarianism are not contradictory. Leftists are not always Libertarians, and many of them will and do trade freedom for safety regularly.

What you think the site should be like “Congratulations, you’re a retard”

At least I’ll be able to say I never voted for conservatives or fascists
- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 2 months ago:
Yeah to stand up against blatant fascism is cool. But if Trump has made me realize anything it’s that the US has been an evil country for a long time…
- Comment on Anon is terminally lonely 2 months ago:
28 year old here, depressed since 14, nearly kms at 18 and then stayed suicidal till 26.
It do get better. I got a job, bought a house, got a gf, started practicing hobbies, socializing more and working on self discipline (But not self degradation)
Now instead of being consistently 2-3/10 I’m about 5.5/10. Still not a full blown optimist but I don’t want to die anymore.

It’s rude to down syndrome people to compare them to Trump.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 4 months ago:
Then why do you need to engage in having debt and using credit cards to have a good score? If having no credit score is nearly as bad as having a bad credit score then something is wrong.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 5 months ago:
I’m Australian, and this post prompted me to research the US Social Credit system. The score can determine whether or not you’re accepted for home rentals, and even determine whether or not you qualify for medical treatments
You need to engage in having debt and credit in order to appease the score.
I bought an apartment recently, and I’ve never had a credit card or debt of any variety. When I was younger my bank would dip into negatives or reject a payment fairly regularly. In the US that could probably cost me a place to live.
And apparently the entire credit score is built up and perpetrated by these massive corporations? Like Credit Score is not even anything to do with the government, and yet it has such a pervasive effect on people’s lives and their behavior.
It’s straight up creepy. Dystopian vibes. How do Americans tolerate this?

You need to engage in having debt and credit in order to please the score.

What kind of miserable shithole would make it against the law to own chickens?
- Comment on Whatever happened to the days when shit just...worked? 5 months ago:
It’s crazy to me these days how much work I have to do to do such simple things on Windows now. I wanted to auto-hide the task bar the other day and instead of just right clicking on the taskbar like I used to I have to crawl through pages of poorly organized settings in the new ugly fucking block format.
I just buy old shit now. Old TVs, old stereos, old fridges. Anything that doesn’t need modern features doesn’t need to be modern.

Comparing Jordan Peterson to Hitler… What a retard. 🤦🏻
- Comment on Anon is forever alone 7 months ago:
I know he’s a right-wing nut job now but I found Jordan Peterson really helpful in my youth. “Clean up your room”, “dress like the person you went to be”, “happiness is fleeting, and suffering requires constant meaning”.
His old stuff was simple and straight forward, good lessons for a lost young man
