Deepseek is pretty good tbh. The answers sometimes leave out information in a way that is misleading, but targeted follow up questions can clarify.

Voting is the least we can do BUT… do not expect systematic change (that helps the working class) to come from the top down. Both parties agree on legal bribery, insider trading, “good billionaires”, the voting system, and the two party system. Meaningful change is going to require more effort: i.e., grass roots organizing from the bottom up. Start in your own community and the change will grow organically.

The problem–for the U.S. anyway–is the meat lobby influences how the meat industry is regulated. They would slap a label on pork and beef and raise the price 100% while the animals are still being mistreated. The government would need to step in (like in France and Germany) to regulate labels and ensure better conditions for animals.

Feel like it’s too arduous to pirate music these days

edit: Thank you guys for all the suggestions

We had a strict no-candy policy in my elementary school. So I ended up selling candy between classes for the local candy man. Teacher found out and gave me a slap on the wrist.

Where the hell are the clothes folding robots??

I’m hoping someone who has read more theory can answer this question. Because I don’t see why religious affiliation should conflict with class solidarity and the abolition of private property.

I’d put that shit on my wall like Mr. Krab’s first dollar

Everybody is looking at each other wondering who will start the revolution

You should write on an unsettled question that interests you enough to keep your interest for a long time. If you don’t have a clue what this is, then I recommend you do some literature review. Research is not done in a vacuum. Once you know what conversations people are having, then you can see where your perspective can make a valuable contribution.

Creating a third party is self-sabotage. Here’s a short CGP Grey video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo

The scary part is they did.

Kinda hard to tell because its a common misconception (for people who just read the first book). I hear what you’re sayin though

Someone didn’t finish the series lol

I am your father… you piece of shit

Complaining about the rules is, ironically, against the rules. I found that out the hard way.

I never said we should have zero debt, that’s a strawman. Most economist recommend a moderate amount of debt due to various positive effects (some of which you mention). So the real disagreement comes here:

It’s all connected and that’s why running a deficit, a (relatively) small one, is a good thing.

The implication being that you think the U.S. has a (relatively) small amount of debt. Now, I am willing to be convinced otherwise, but I do not think that the U.S. currently has a small amount of debt. Our debt to GDP ratio is higher than other developed nations, which is concerning.

I do concede that we aren’t in danger of a debt crisis on the scale of Greece or Sri Lanka. But ~$34 Trillion in debt needs to be part of the discussion when we keep praising the economy.

Damn, TIL “Typoglycaemia”.

That is either a miniature keyboard or a massive bug
