- Comment on Trump Is in Open Revolt Against the Constitution 2 days ago:
It never actually existed as the US government was designed from the start to thwart Democracy. It was always a convenient lie like liberty.
Some more people are starting to catch on so they are trying to grift as much as they can before the house of cards comes tumbling down. And by that I mean the current con comes to and end with the next one waiting to take over.

- Comment on Groceries are expensive and they're too busy talking about culture war 1 week ago:
Fair enough, I see what is happening pretty clearly. The wealthy, and their proxies the corporation, have captured the regulatory bodies of the US. They then use propaganda to blame the government for burdensome regulations meanwhile passing additional regulations to benefit them and removing regulations to also benefit them.
The average person thinks it is government versus corporation but that is not at all what is happening. With all the conflicting propaganda we are fed it is a wonder that anyone can figure out what is going on.

You are so fucking wrong it isn’t funny. Please tell me your made up definition as you act like an ecotardburger.
- Comment on New Delhi - during lockdown vs now 1 week ago:
I am glad you clarified that. Thank you. At first it felt like you were saying that inversion layers don’t hold pollution.
Obviously inversion exists without humans, but if humans are present it will trap their pollution locally until it goes away.
- Comment on New Delhi - during lockdown vs now 1 week ago:
Yeah, you definitely don’t know what that word means.
Also, try telling the civilization of Easter Island overpopulation isn’t a problem. Did you know the Middle East used to be a forest?
No ecofascists here, but I am starting to suspect someone is an ecotard.
- Comment on New Delhi - during lockdown vs now 1 week ago:
Where in the fuck do you get ecofascism from!? Do you even know what the word means.
"Ecofascism is a political ideology that blends environmental protection with extreme racism, white supremacy, and violence against marginalized groups. "

Hmm having lived on an inversion area I am going to have to ask what do you think is “in” an inversion!?
- Comment on Groceries are expensive and they're too busy talking about culture war 1 week ago:
It does matter if it gets to the policy level. Most of the time, it is just lip service to get elected though.
You certainly have a large part of the population that is clueless to important concepts such as regulatory capture. The government is no longer functioning as anything else than a mouthpiece for corporations.
Liberty is for the wealthy and their corporations by extension. Anything else is just propaganda that props up a system where your value is only determined by the wealth you have. This means the majority of people have no value in the current system.

Politics are so broken you can just say whatever and it doesn’t matter anymore in the US.
You are completely right about being the problem and a pretend solution. The conservatives love to do this with the deficit. Run it up and ignore it completely and then start screaming about it when the other party takes over.

Everytime I have the displeasure a logging into Windows I am hit with ads. If it isn’t Microsoft trying to get me to log into my account or getting me to setup my PC for the tenth time it is adobe or some other software installed pushing notifications. It is fucking bonkers now.

It is because it is to entice you to spend more money not save more money. I am sure it amounts to about 10% off most of these services when it is all said and done.

Also, even with countries that have a public option private insurance is usually still allowed. There are zero good arguments against it and a lot of superfluous nonsense meant to muddy the waters.

- Comment on Corporate media, owned by billionaires, refuse to recognize the wave of democratic socialism 2 weeks ago:
Currently socialism to these guys = Not having a corrupt government ran by special interest.
This is what they are afraid of. Not socialism coming to town but a government that actually works. The corrupt media is pushing bullshit to benefit the wealthy class so the people don’t come for their golden goose.

This is a bad thing. Stock buybacks are driving this round of stock market excess. Basically the wealthy are no longer betting on the future by investing money to grow business. Instead they are pumping up their stocks value so they can check out.

Every country has bribery and many countries, like the US, formalize a bribery system into law by putting in limitations and adding recording requirements.
I think you point out correctly that powerful special interests use things like lobbying and regulatory capture to control government policy.
The cause is the real issue that no one wants to talk about because it means taking a cold hard look at ourselves and behavior. I would argue it is ultimately a cultural issue so fixing our policies will not be enough to affect change.
