syria was an imperialist colony and they were doing fantastic before their civil war <:GWcfcThonk:357907199928041473>

phillipines

indonesia

vietnam

all ex-colonies

the empire did nothing wrong

@M4Gunner oh...sorry for a sec there I thought you were going to go on a rant about trans women

IDK what terf means actually I just find this meme kinda funny

Mostly cus I posted it in a feminist server an they exploded

the meme with terfs is kinda funny

and American capitalism is fucking the environment hard

but elsewhere in the world mostly europe capitalism profits off of being environmentally concerned

and ovepropulation is absolutely fucking everything even remotely connected to the environment in places like China

re: that meme

how dare capitalism allow so many people to not starve

@obrallaghan actually it causes people to starve

actually it doesn't

It dose..but it's meme time so we'll talk about this later

there's no objective metric by which you could make that claim

eh if you'Re talking about pure capitalism

people would starve to death left and right

but we don't live in hardcore ancap capitalism

socialist policies keep us from starving when we lost our job m8 <:GWcfcThonk:357907199928041473>

no they wouldn't, as a very small portion of the population maybe gets like an aditional 500 to maybe 1000 calories paid for by social services

you'd find most on welfare are actually overweight anyways

food was never an issue

that's not an accurate metric, there are other differences between true capitalism and actually doable capitalism that prevent people from starving <:GWcfcThonk:357907199928041473>

true capitalism would just me that I personally would have more in my bank account at the end of the month

therefore more food for me and less social services

the west is "true capitalism" with socialist systems leaching on top of it

I don't think you realise just how much was changed from the original idea of capitalism until it could actually sensibly work <:GWcfcThonk:357907199928041473>

excluding everything that you call socialist even <:GWcfcThonk:357907199928041473>

you'd have to explain to me how my company paying me a nice wage for my productivity so that they can make even more money themselves isn't "true capitalism"

bruh that's over 9000 on the simplification scale

no it isn't

the company started from nothing
