“Frame” the US Army…? Bro the great satan doesn’t need any framing, its sins are dripping from its fangs and claws.

I was being pedantic. There is no such thing as Stalinism, that article is a joke. Stalin was just a Marxist Leninist.
What’s Stalinism 🤔
The real rich don’t pay any income tax tho? Not sure what you mean. Sure the high-income developers and engineers and lawyers etc. would become a richer, but they are not the rich, are they? The owners of the businesses they work at are. And they don’t pay income taxes.
They elected Zelensky then immediately outlawed all communist parties, outlawed protesting, outlawed strikes, postponed elections… real democracy vibes.
Inshallah
Sorry I would rather not :/
For my city, just for a very specific example, it takes less than one afternoon and 80 bucks total (no fees and almost no capital fund requirements) to open a corporation. It takes weeks if not months to open a coop and it costs 2500 bucks PER member.
I don’t know the specifics of all cities and states everywhere in the world. But the system is built to benefit private corporations much more, as it’s a capitalist system where owning capital equals power, and workers are a commodity.
Like the literal law. In most places it’s a much more involved and expensive process to even open a coop compared to a traditional private company. It takes more paperwork, more fees, more capital funds etc. Also, getting investors in (when they can’t own the coop, as they are not workers) or even loans from private or state banks/institutions is much harder. There are several programs incentivising people to open private companies, giving them tax credits, making the application and approval process easier, giving access to funds and education etc. How many there are for coops? In most places around the world there are 0. In what ways does it appear the opposite to you…? Like this all seems very self-evident to me.
The system literally disincentives and makes coops less competitive.
Opening a coop is harder, more expensive, have less subsidies or tax benefits, less opportunities for investments/loans etc.
And all of this makes running coops more expensive, thus less competitive, thus the ones that do manage to open either can’t grow or die.
You just don’t understand how you still parrot lies from the Empire. Condemning Hamas and Gaddafi…
They control the user data, but not the algorithm and the moneys…
They are angry teens are getting radicalised by leftist anti-imperialist content, and they are jealous the new biggest thing is not owned by an American oligarch.
But they are doing something about it it seems 🤷♂️
The sampling bias makes sense actually… I bet it’s even more of a thing in India than most places.
Fucking scary seeing almost 80% of Indians believe they’re going in the right direction, ngl
They do control TikTok data (in the US): https://www.mintpressnews.com/tiktok-chinese-trojan-horse-run-former-cia/286780/
They don’t control the algorithm tho, and TikTok is acting as a powerful tool against state propaganda in the west. Also, it’s a Chinese app that is more successful than the American ones, that’s scary for the US.
Lmao South China Morning Post and Radio Free Asia are literally propaganda mouthpieces for the CIA
But using a VPN is not illegal in China… why would you even have to explain why you’re using one?
I challenge you to look up any of those “ghost cities” now. Literally all are filling up. People really don’t understand planning and building for the future?
Idgaf, death to America
