Took me the rest of the day to get this joke in its entirety. This is pretty funny.
-
@Demolishun that’s a fallacy, you are assuming since we now have a system, it is the best possible one… without diving into communism, Marxism and why the few instances we have are not statistically enough to call it a failure nor fully experimented yet, let’s just not assume we are at the end of the road and be open to possibilities (including new systems).
@arjun-123 it is not and to be able to differentiate twitter from reality is kinda important… -
@piratefox It has been tried. North Korea vs South Korea. I would rather live in South Korea. You are welcome to go there and try it out. Or head to China and try it out there.
-
@Demolishun Mhh except dictatorship != communism…
Literally the first action required by the communist manifesto is to remove the leader from the power.
Also South Korea is not that nice either… 4th country for most suicides, shitty medical system, insane school system which makes students fall sick.
China is a dictatorship, not communism and the existence of alibaba makes it kinda obvious to anyone that it’s not communism…
But in any case, you are again trying to reduce it to capitalism vs communism… -
@piratefox
I view government as to how much power it has vs how much power the people have.

Communism by this definition is the exact same as fascism, dictatorship, etc. The garbage they are currently teaching in school keep selling the lie that this shit never got tried. Well it has been tried over and over. Communism/socialism is just a new label for the same turd. Polishing it will not make it better.
Someone tries this shit in my country and people behind it will discover the "fuck around and find out" principle. -
@piratefox There is ONE type of socialism I am in favor of. Voluntary socialism. Where the individual chooses to care for their neighbors and community. There are many cultures and belief systems that espouse this type of socialism. Making this type of socialism compulsory taints it and creates problems.

@Demolishun
So basically you reject the idea beyond a form of government due to a pro-weapons pro-trump channel, distort it into another form of government to and use its idea to disprove the first idea… then you blame the educational systems set up by the form of government you root for and end up with a menace.
This is not a debate or good points of view, my friend. You are just spitting incoherences trying to say you are right instead of trying to understand together what’s right.
And yet again: you are trying to boil it down to capitalism vs communism.
But hey, keep denying we have a huge problem with our current economical system if you want, won’t change reality. -
@Demolishun ah yes the “I don’t trust other people to be altruistic on me via government, but trust me I am altruistic on others” kind of government.
Also being kind is not socialism??? -
@piratefox lol, it is true what they say about people. He lives rent free in your head. Good luck with that.
-
@Demolishun it unfortunately is… people don’t care about the truth as long as they can feed their ego and tell others are wrong.
The humility to consider our point of view may not be the correct one is a rare gift. -
arjun-123523y@piratefox I'm not talking about twitter I'm talking about my actual school. I'm fine with people correcting me about their pronouns but when they call me out and make a big deal about it it's kind of embarrassing. I've had people cry due to me misgendering them. I know this isn't reprehensive of gen z but still.
-
@arjun-123 some outliers are always there and if you didn’t misgender them on purpose yeah, it can be off putting, but keep in mind the majority of the time people don’t burst for a single instance, probably there’s something behind it (Disphoria is quite interesting when you study it… also the family situation is a probable cause), but it’s not all of gen z… I’ve seen people from my generation cry cause they didn’t get a branded pencil case, yet nobody is meming about it and if you ask me the “I cry cause I don’t have a branded pencil case” is way more memable…
-
@yehaaw the irony of asking to remain on topic on an off topic post is a way better joke than the one you posted so bravo, there’s a good joke in the thread.

It was not my purpose to offend anyone by this meme. It’s a meme. That’s all it is.
Why are you fighting over this? None of you care about other sides opinion, so what’s the point? Actually don’t answer. Not even I care. And that’s not an insult. That’s just the reality of things. A week later I and everyone else will forget that this post even existed together with your quarrel.
