They’re very consistent about this. It’s logically impossible for them to care less about the plight of the people. They’ve likely never cared to begin with or had conditioning over time to cease caring. No, their only concern is the continued profitability of their donors. No matter how many people that kills.

E-cigs and legal weed could be competitors to legal cigarettes. You know the abhorrent fucking things so bad they’ve “banned” them from advertising but would you look at that, they’re allowed to air PSAs about how bad they are… and make them so “incompetently” that they serve as advertisements for their vile product.

They never have and never will care about us. So, why the fuck do we tolerate them?

These people weather intentionally or not are just advocates for Human suffering. The more this goes on and the more blatant it becomes the less inclined I am to believe that they’re useful idiots, rather that they are willing accomplices.

On so many levels everything about our society needs to be burnt out. No one should tolerate our openly sadistic society.

Yeah,

I’ve taken to saying that we don’t live in a great country, nor a good one, or even an acceptable one. No, what we have is one that should be put out of our collective misery.

Just did some quick checking… it looks like the War on Terror as a whole averages well below the automotive catastrophe annually if we’re looking at even the broad anti-terrorism coalition.

• Everyone comes out to 45k
• Everyone but terrorist combatants cuts that to 30.5k
• Cutting terrorist combatants and civilians brings that to 10k

Brown University, death toll of the War on Terror

Fuck decorum. I give negative damns about it given the extensive history of it being used as a shield to protect the facilitation of what amounts to mass murder. If dark skinned foreigners did ten percent the damage cars do we’d have used some of the nuclear arsenal but because it’s fucking profitable innocent people die every day and little, if anything, is done about its root causes.

Okay, so you’ve got one criteria: Socialized Medicine, care to list out the rest of them for how you determine if something is socialism?

Oct 1, 1949. Communist Party of China establishes the People’s Republic of China.

Then there’s the question of ‘Is China still socialist?’ which depends on what qualifies as socialist.

Thanks. That’s unfortunate. Not sure which to go with, I’m kind-of set up. Got communities for most of what I used Reddit for and the remainder I’m not sure if an appropriate Lemmy community has been made yet.

Alright. Thanks for letting me know 'bout Photon as well.
