Well, playing the same game as rich guys will result in you losing. But it's important to remember the October revolution was funded with much less.....

The problem with these counts is there is no way of making them look good, like lives saved due to "x". How many people lived because the Soviets managed to eliminate all famines in their territory after that? A huge feat given their relative frequency beforehand.

And then you can blame countless deaths on capitalism, feudalism, slavery, but then do you normalize those numbers based on total world population?

What about blaming AK-47s? The police?

My point is that it's a pointless metric that is only used to drum up support against some group of people, not a useful one for objectively understanding anything. It does away with all context, and replaces it with some inane number.

I can't fucking stand the "bOtH SidEs aRE BAd" fucking Liberal goonies Jesus Christ what in the ever loving Christ is wrong with people.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Yeah and then Israel can go back to their peaceful genocide right? I get it death is bad, but ignoring context (settler colonialism) to feel superior by saying both sides are bad is dumb. None of us can sit here and tell an oppressed people how to fight their oppressor.

That's fair, it hurts when your slaves are taken away lol.

It's crazy that a single state has that much international sway though.

Yeah the US is just butt hurt that they were so humiliated by such a small nation and now they won't let it go.

It is one of the consequences of monopolies, but monopolies are a consequence of economic competition.

The "winner" gets the losers stuff and customers (mergers for example), making the winner bigger and more able to manipulate the market to their benefit.

When there are few enough companies profits can be chased without consideration for anything else (planned obsolescence, shipping jobs outside the country, lay-offs, etc.)

So, like you said except in a for profit market, monopolies are inevitable.

Imagine thinking a few hundred people you disagree with is worse than a mega-corp manipulating information for profits.

Internet libs love to tell people how they should fight for their rights. I wonder if anyone has considered holding a bake sale in Gaza? Maybe then both sides can sit down and talk? Maybe Israel just doesn't know committing genocide is bad? Does Hamas know Israel wants to commit genocide? Does Israel know Palestinians feel pain and suffering?

It's impossible to know without DiALoGuE.

I mean, he knows loads about manipulating people and being rich. Does he bring value to society?

No.

No one should have veto power, it makes any organization extremely undemocratic. And given the American arsenal, it's already difficult to be democratic.
