It wasn’t a nazi salute, he was just waving

Well, why don’t the 250 million Americans who didn’t vote for trump just also move to Canada???

We’re in end-stage capitalism now, not even the longevity of a business matters next to shareholder profits.

I don’t know what it’s like in the states, but here in Australia taxis just can’t compete because of the massive licensing fees they have to pay to cover taxi zones and such. I’m not pro or anti taxi or uber, but there are loads of stories here of people who have paid well into 6 figures for taxi licenses right before uber came along and blew them out of the water. I do feel bad for them.

For a while now I’ve been pushing to abandon the term late stage capitalism in favor of this. I think trump’s swearing in for his second term really established that we’re in the end game now.

Is it though?

Don’t worry, if the US ever gets a real president again I doubt they’ll set foot on this middle finger to the country.

Speaking of wasted bytes…

Pretty huge problem I’d say. Ethical behavior is clearly the most valued characteristic in trumps government.

The small amount of comprehension you showed in the last paragraph made the entire soap box unnecessary. Context is important here. The entire point is that Melania has never wanted sex with trump, and has never enjoyed it, but just allows it to happen under certain circumstances. It’s the entire theme of the mockery.

I can’t spread anything on Reddit - lifetime ban for hurting maga feelings.

100% agree. I blame entitled billionaires kids for just about all our problems and would love to see a 100% estate tax on any amount over say 10 million.

I’m Australian, living in Australia, but spent 10 years living in the US and have an American wife, and I’m constantly shocked by how little Americans accept for their taxes.

Here, I pay 2.5% of my income so that everyone can get health care when they need it. Not only am I fine with that, but I’d happily pay twice that if they throw in dental as well. But we also give billions in tax breaks to foreign mining companies to come and dig up our minerals and ship them overseas so that my kids and I get nothing from them.

I’m not anti tax, I’m more than happy to pay for healthcare, education, food, housing and more so that everyone has a decent standard of living. But I despise putting a single dollar in the pocket of anyone who is already independently wealthy.

This is where the argument always gets muddy. The whole point of government and taxes is that we all chip in to pay for things that benefit everyone, and the government administers it. In the US, especially now, this system has become so perverted that the job of the government has become funneling all that money to the richest people while convincing the general population that what’s happening is to their benefit.

True, true…

The term “other individuals” term in there tells you everything you need to know. Right wing militias will be lining up.

Thank you! I must have saved this video on Reddit a dozen times to show my wife, but it keeps getting deleted before I can.

Why do they insist on including the failed USA in this? They immediately destroy their own credibility because putin knows the US won’t back them.

Dark times are already here.

Well yeah, but if we had a system of equitable sharing of resources, how would the oligarchs hoard more wealth and power?

I’m really really sorry, now that the leopards are eating my face…
