Just like prices ending in .99, a significant amount of useful idiots are going to look at the word “lost” and assume it means killed.

The thing is, for the war it doesn’t really have much meaning whether the loss is through death or a serious wound.

Not true. A soldier that’s killed isn’t going back home to his family. He’ll never have kids. He’ll never contribute to the economy ever again.

Trying to say kills don’t matter in a war is retarded.

“Russia suffered x casualties in y time.”

Just like prices ending in .99, a significant amount of useful idiots are going to look at the word “lost” and assume it means killed.

That’s how propaganda works and it shouldn’t have to be spelled out for you.

These discussions never lead to anything productive.

I firmly-believe most people who engage in them are autistic.

Americans haven’t given up their consumerism, so a general strike is out of the question.

They need money for subscribing to digital entertainment they can be getting for free and to order food with delivery apps at 100% markup.

This generation sucks.

Slowly. Luigi was a good start.

If Americans want to revolt, they’ll have to do it in the shadows.

Any common man can kill a rich person. No organized resistance is required, and any organized resistance is going to be infiltrated by the FBI and shut down before anything significant happens.

It would be neat if the heroes that kill our oppressors end up getting social media famous as they do it.

and will have ideas that I disagree with.

I honestly think this is code for, “I like what they do, but I hope they don’t raise my taxes.”

Also, “There’s no way they can have solutions that are better than mine!”

Do you think AOC would have a better chance at winning than… kamala harris?

but I would like to see her take another 5-10 years to learn how to broaden her appeal.

This kind of “we’re not ready yet” mindset is what lets republicans eat our lunch again and again.

“Broadening appeal” is also dumb as fuck when the candidates that do run routinely get ~30% of the vote. They already don’t have “broad appeal.”

Stop playing into the ruling classes handbooks by giving up before we even begin.

Bernie should have won.

Fuck everyone who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary.

They need to be tarred and feathered.

Dick Durbin.

Apparently he swindled some Illinois voters into voting against their own interests.

They need to get the memo so they can prevent it from happening again.

Damn, it’s sad people can be so clueless yet still have a voice.

Gotta stop voting for him!

WHY ARE PEOPLE VOTING FOR Dick Durbin

I just did some looking into this.

Apparently defense contractors get paid twice.

1. They get paid by taxpayers when they get the contract.
2. They get paid by foreign nations when the equipment is sold.

It’s so fucked beyond belief, I hope this generation can do something about it.

Counterpoint: They know exactly why people love him and why they are hated.

It’s time for a revolution.

I think you both have a point.

Lost, huh?

Does that mean casualties? As in, not necessarily deaths?

Russia has lost 1,330 soldiers killed and wounded over the past day alone

I would assume the answer is ‘yes.’

Fuck I hate the propaganda reporting on both sides.

I always think less of people when I see them jerking themselves off over isms and sects.

Truly missing the forest for the trees.

I don’t know what you said, but I can safely assume you’ve been conditioned to believe that government is evil no matter what.

That kind of indoctrination is hard to overcome, especially when you dig your heels deeper every time you discuss it.

Try to keep in mind that you’ve been conditioned to work against your own interests by people richer than you. These people recognize the threat government poses to their wealth, so they peddle rhetoric to people like you to get you to vote against your own interests.

It’s very effective.

Libertarians that aren’t making money off of the ideology just haven’t grown up yet. Once you look at the libertarians who have renounced their libertarianism, it becomes obvious who’s a child and who’s an adult.
