State controlled? No. Corporate controlled. The same corporate interests that control the state.

Well, yes. I dont distinguish between them in capitalism because the dont have diverging interests long term.

okay well conflating the two is a pretty arbitrary thing to do, and not really something you would want to assume everyone else does. you seem surprised that people reacted negatively to your comment... and you attribute that to us not being "anti imperialist" enough... when really you're just speaking a different language. maybe getting upset about it was your original intention?

So you're accusing me of bad intentions. This will totally make me have a meaningful discussion with you.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

discussion was over before it began man

Good you admit it. Nice life.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"ADMIT IT!!" man you are so fixated on finger pointing, that's why we can't talk to you. as if discussion is a one way street.

but I wanted to at least clarify that intending to get upset doesn't equate to bad intentions. it just doesn't make for good discussion.

Haha did i trigger you by any chance?

You're so fixated on misunderstanding me that you dont get your own mistake. I'm just not willing to help because i am over you being condescending.

Good luck with that attitude.

we moved from "ADMIT IT" to "TRIGGERED", wow. yeah, this is why I said it was over before it began.
