I think one of the main flaws of socialism and planned economies in general is not accounting for supply and demand. In a capitalist society, if you don’t want something, you don’t buy it, whereas under a planned economy you’re stuck with it because that’s what the state decided to make. Case in point the coffee shortages in east Germany when it was controlled by the soviets. The people were extremely unhappy to the point of rioting.

ooooooooooooooh the coffee

As opposed to our famously robust capitalist economy which never has shortages and efficiently allocates resources to the most critical needs, of course.

While the liberals that come out of the humanities can be insufferable, the liberals (and chuds) that come out of engineering are full on hypersus.

I remember hearing engineering students complain about having too many humanities courses. It couldn't have been more than like 5 courses over the whole degree. Some of them were ECON.

Brother, long time BLM supporter and left wing progressive here. Have to say the idea that you don’t want people seeing this film is a bit sus. We’re talking about an order of magnitude intentional barbarism way worse than tragic inadvertent loss of life.

chefs-kiss "Order of magnitude worse" literally describes Palestinian casualties. Not even, it might be two orders of magnitude in terms of innocent civilians. Wild having a worldview built from pure vibes and wonder woman's fake propaganda film.

nerd "Israel only accidentally commits genocide and ethnic cleansing. Hamas deliberately killed soldiers and settlers!"

"What did you think would happen?"

Fucking blood boiling. Saying "of course Israel was going to commit genocide, what did you expect?" as if that's a criticism of Hamas and not Israel's insane racism and bloodthirst.

I feel like a while ago support for Palestine was a bare minimum bar even most liberals could clear. It seems you can't even expect that much. Seen a switch flip in so many liberals, the textbook about-face when they see the oppressed actually start fighting back. Unless, the oppressed people aren't particularly oppressed and wear Nazi symbols, I guess.

death to america

That thing where communists explain how the world works and then liberals say "no no no it works like this" and explain the exact same thing again. Only louder, and they say it like it's a good thing.
