We distribute our wealth to billionaires, not the common people.


Rich people like Elon musk, Bill Gates or Trump won their money fair and square. They played the capitalism game and the market chose them as the winner.

Putin is rich too, and he got his money by being a ruler and his position aren't given by the market. Seems way less fair to me to get rich this way.

Everyone can participate in capitalism game but not everyone can be a dictator, and you die if you challenge a dictator if you want to have their position. I would rather play the capitalism game.

I'm going to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism.

For reminding him that a woman is being sexually assaulted in his city every hour on average? Kinda *** up if you ask me.

"Rape reported every hour in London"

London has a population of 8.8 million. NYC has a population of 8.2 million and there were 1455 reports, 4 per day. This is a lot lower than 24 per day (the equivalent of "one reported every hour")


You might want to sit this one out.

Londo gun crimes 2021 - 1071

I think people were just fed up. It really dawned on me how incredible it was that they literally had every celebrity shill in their pocket, parroting the same talking points and reading from scripts. Jennifer Lopez, Oprah, Taylor Swift, Cardi B and so on and none of it helped them, none.

People are all just tired of the hand outs and getting beat down at every step, and if they say something they are labeled everything under the sun. People are so radical now they saved the debates for the polls. Growing up in the school systems here where everyone is indoctrinated to the left, once you start working on your own and having to deal with things like tax's and life, the ideals they have just seem like words. For me most changed after the pandemic and those riots, I think it took people another admin to see things aren't working with them.

I would bet those missing votes are just people who didn't like the choices and what it meant for the next 4 years. I couldn't imagine another 4 years with those policies continuing, seemed disastrous. Most people couldn't give two shits about overseas issues when they are struggling right now, most can't even point out where Ukraine is lol. The issue w immigration is also something that is so obvious to anyone and even worse now in states like NY. Rent at an all time high, groceries and monthly costs skyrocketing... yet they are handing out debit cards to anyone that crosses the invisible border. Free luxury hotels and hand outs while everyone else struggles, and this admin intended to continue everything as normal if she won.

Context, dude. Afania tried to state that the US could not have been prosperous without democracy. Those countries are pretty clear indicators that you can be prosperous without democracy. I didn't tell you to pack your bags and move there.

How about this.....

Let's use examples that has more similarities region/culture wise, so oil and other factors don't play a role?

Like Democratic People's Republic of Korea v.s Republic Korea. People's republic of China v.s Republic of China. German Democratic Republic v.s Federal Republic of Germany. Democratic Republic of Vietnam v.s Republic of Vietnam.

Those are examples of people in the same region that walked a different "path" when it comes to making choices for social and economic system at one point of the history. And the one who chose America's system ended up being more prosperous when the war stopped.

(Though South Vietnam's economy tanked at one point because of war, I think they are overalls more prosperous.)

I think the examples above shows an explanation why people adore America's system so much, to the point that they are willing to sacrifice lives to ensure their future generation live under such system.

Europe is rich and Russia is poor, even before the war. It's 100% human nature to see the development of Europe and wanting to join them. Calling people wanting to join western bloc "brainwashed" or "puppet government" isn't really fair.

I don't mind people choose money in their pocket over a foreigner's money in their pocket. It is 100% human nature.

But justifying such choices by calling people fighting for freedom and western system "brainwashed" or "puppet government" is another issue. It's not being "brainwashed" to want to have freedom on making choices.
