This person was referencing the obtuse and infuriatingly repeated quote from Margaret Thatcher (rot in piss) “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money”.
I don’t think I need to point out exactly why this quote is stupid.
Have you considered simply not voting and then just acting like a smug douche who’s above politics when the fascists inevitably take over and march us all to the concentration camps?
The protest isn’t intended to hurt the owner class. The protest is intended to draw attention to the issue. We’re talking about it therefore it’s an effective form of protest.
Without protests like this we go about our lives worrying about bills and ignore the literal apocalyptic catastrophe we’re nose-diving into.
To quote Homer Simpson:
Lisa! If you don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.
No one’s justifying Hamas here what the fuck are you smoking??
Conservatives make the world worse, they get booted out and liberals fail to fix it, they get booted out and then people look for a “strong man” who can cut through red tape and fix things once and for all.
The far right embodies that third person. An extra bonus of a far right rule is the Overton window lurches so far to the right that the conservatives can pretend to be centrist and the liberals pretend to be left-wing.
I suspect they mean capitalism with a light sprinkle of social safety nets.
You can lose rights to your IP if you don’t take steps to enforce it.
This is oft repeated but it’s not true. Copyrights do not get revoked if you don’t enforce your exclusivity. Trademarks can be genericised but only in extreme cases (band-aid is NOT genericised for example).
Nintendo is hyper litigious but not for any legal requirement to defend their copyrights.
One thing that always jumps out to me with each of these is that these videos are all just a sequence of 3 second clips stitched together.
I know all film consists of discrete shots edited into a larger piece but there’s something mechanical about these. Like I’m watching a slide show that’s just been placed in chronological order.
