  • Trump ‘eroding’ US brand, has made the country 20% poorer, Citadel chief says

  • Right but when he’s dead it will go to charity and hopefully to far better use than giving it to the US government to waste on interest payments and military spending.

  • Gates is leaving 1% of his wealth to his kids. Rest goes to the causes you mentioned.

  • Absolutely, I just disagree with hating on some collective group instead of trying to fix the issues we have in our societies together.

  • I get your point but I don’t think that’s equates to being a bad person. At least the two folks I mentioned as examples are doing major philanthropy with their funds and I don’t think not earning the money is a bit different than just straight up calling them parasites. It’s a systemic issue that we as a society need to work on together rather than all the hate and division that has driven a lot of countries to populism.

  • I’m wondering what makes you think that becoming rich automatically makes you a parasite. No doubt many are, but even as a Linux user it’s hard to see for example Bill Gates as a parasite. Or Warren Buffett for that matter, despite his flaws.

  • Are you joking with China or am I talking with a bot?

    China is a massive massive loan shark to emerging economies and is literally one of the largest IMF backers. Although once again you’re sound very conspiracy theorist here blaming the IMF which the entire world is a member essentially. If you look at voting power China alone has more than every Nordic country combined.

    China literally exploits not only their own people but everyone who’s weaker than them. You’re seriously commenting in bad faith here.

  • Are you serious? Do you not understand the concept that you can be an employee today and business owner tomorrow? How do you not understand the irony that suddenly once you start your own business you’re an exploitative devil and as long as you stay as an employee you’re somehow a better person? Don’t you realize what moronic baiting that is? Humanity never learns from populists it seems, whether it’s Trump or Lenin, it’s all the same.

  • Right and you keep equating reading a lot of material as a basis of complexity, which it simply isn’t. The quantity of theory does not equate to quality. Once again please refer to my previous point about the Bible or the absolute plethora of religious research that mankind has produced which does not lead to any kind of truth and has lacks any kind of complexity other than God is the greatest and do as he says. One can pretend to find complexities as much as they want but the outcome is always the same, a useless fiction.

    There is nothing remarkable about Marxism other than a way to create a whole new set of problems. There is literally zero concrete evidence of the supposed benefits of Marxism other than for redistribution of power from one set of assholes to another, I think we’ve seen that enough times at this point.

  • You’re saying it’s not simplistic just because it has a lot of words. Please refer to my other post on why it’s Marxism is a ridiculous and frankly childish theory.

  • Well don’t you think it’s a bit simple to pin every single problem in the world on property rights and a conspiracy theory level class divide between proletariats and “bourgeoisie”? It’s ann exhausting ordeal to hear all these complaints when humanity has never been at a more advanced point than it is now despite all its flaws.

  • Please explain the way in which the Nordic countries are imperialist and exploitative and which country you personally look for moral guidance? And if there is none what makes you think we are capable of building a system that wouldn’t be exploitative by your grandiose unrealistic standards? Workers rights and safety nets are far beyond any other country in the world and in fact they’ve essentially never been better. The only change is that populists like you have given up on building and improving the system which in fact does require everyone to commit to improving society together, not just whining in a basement about some socialist utopia that is never going to happen.

  • What are you on about with “red scare”? You can simply look at the poor attempts made in the name of communism to see how well that idea succeeds in practice. Simple solutions to complex issues never work. Communism is an extreme ideology based on the oversimplification of complex like every other form of populism.

  • I don’t get why every Reddit alternative needs to be filled with these weird political ideas. Communism, Fascism and every other form of extremism only leads to misery.

    I’m sure capitalism is flawed, but you can make it work better. Any of the Nordic countries works as a great example. And no they aren’t perfect but nothing ever will be.

  • EU will not rip up tech rules for trade deal with Trump, senior official says

  • Excellent news here, the EU gets a lot of flak because the right choices are rarely the popular ones.

  • The United States and China are locked in a faceoff over tariffs. No one wants to blink first

    Jump

  • This is awful for the global economy and it’s definitely looking more and more like these tariff tantrums from the US is just a dying empire desperately trying to fight against its eventual demise. China has already overtaken the US in many areas and it is really showing.

  • Apple TV+ is a great service, good app interface and some decent series there too. Too bad I had to get rid of it due to the current US administration and their policies. Apart from the default apps I switched everything to European and/or non-profit open source alternatives, which was surprisingly easy.
