If they haven't done all this until now, what makes you think they'll do it then?

The rich will get off unscathed with a blank canvas to work on, and the poor will pay the price, just like with every other market crash.

Is this suddenly a teenager platform whenever you want to infantilize the ones you disagree with?

But, you know, after the economy revives by state simping for the private banks, maybe we'll discuss it then

I wish there was infrastructure for them where I live, I hate driving and I like cycling

This is like suggesting that emptying a round of an AK on someone that punched you is somehow "walking into a trap"

Does it make sense or is it justified?

There's quite a difference

I guess I skipped a few years but I also was a liberal before and slowly but surely went full ML

If you can blame him for anything, you can say that he couldn't imagine just how bad late stage capitalism could get.

Though I'm not sure if that takes away from his other arguments or makes them all the more prevalent.

I'm from Greece.

30 years ago people were still living the dream which was all a house of cards called loans. Then the market crisis happened and we got fucked unable to get new ones and pay off the old ones.

After that, we kept getting blackmailed by the Eurozone and the IMF so that we would get the loans we needed to fix our country, but under harsh conditions that basically sustain our poverty instead of fixing it in any way. We signed away the people's livelihoods so that we could be Europe's economic lab rat and slave, all to their benefit.

Our current government is as liberal capitalist as it gets, privatizing everything and making life crap for the poor (who are becoming more and more as time passes). Fascism is also on the rise, following the theme of Europe and the US.

The government owns almost all the media and most other parties in the parliament are also aligned with the ruling one. Climate change is beggining to hit hard, every time revealing the cheap infrastructure and postponed plans by contractors.

Instead of hiring more firemen, our government continues to allocate way too much money on cops, riot control, and the media it bribes.

Maybe the EU's fucking around ends up with a communist revolution, I bet they won't be too happy about it then.

I'm from Greece, I hope things get better for you

Marx was right and it's getting obscenely obvious

If you thought any measures taken for Ukraine were because of morals you're very mistaken
