Politicians being bought and sold to the highest bidder of the campaign trail.

And he'll be out bid by SuperPACs for the next corrupt mayor.

I did vote Harris but not because she'll do reform, because she is the only "not trump" I can vote for in a blue state.

Every time, without issue. "My capitalism cool because it's red!"

And Democrats will do that, right? They'll remove corporate money and superpacs and the electrical college? Abolish first past the post?

Dude I can't even get them to acknowledge China isn't a good guy in every action, don't bother.

North Korea doesn't even claim that Juche is socialism anymore.

Have you tried not repeating the same 5 talking points to anyone who doesn't want to obey a state even if it's "the people's state"?

I have, lemmy is better than most. Better than most is still annoying.

You call out Russia or China, MLs think if they regurgitate "read theory" that solves my issues with them.

You call out American liberals and how they aid fascists, you're calling a secret Trump supporter.

You say that genocide is an evil action, liberals and Tankies will defend their favorite country's actions because you're a shill for the enemy if you do.

You say America did something kinda good, you're somehow a neolib in disguise. You lightly praise the USSR, you're Stalin's second cousin as an AI.

I just don't want people harmed by a government force. Fuck me, I guess? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills for applying the same morals to every politician and country, even ones I live in or slightly like.

Edit: If someone said it was annoying being an leftist and a bunch of liberals came in exusing their actions and doubling down, everyone would be singing a different tune. Just kinda fascinating.

  • A government imposes taxation on the citizens to fund the services the citizens are required to use for daily life.

Libertarians: "GOD THIS IS AN UNJUST TYRANNY TO ME AND ONLY ME"

  • A corporation imposes a new service fee and increases the subcription charges, to fund their wallets and act like its better than it was before.

Libertarians: "This is normal and just, everyone is stupid except for me, I read Ayn Rand."

I'm down to talk out what is a just tax, what is unfair, what the taxes should go to once collected, but I think Libertarians are too hooked on think tank propaganda to decide something for themselves.
