I consider myself to be pretty tough

You didn’t live through the Soviet Union so it probs wasn’t too hard

My brother lives in Russia

it was pretty shitty

He loves it

most of my childhood friends are heroin users

or dead

mostly from alcohol abuse

sorry to hear that

Damn I feel for you. That’s so common where I’m from too

yea thanks, I understand there's a similar problem in large swathes of rural America

Yeah it’s an epidemic that’s going unchecked

its weird... i live in one of the affected states but because my neighborhood is wealthy its like we're totally insulated from it... we just hear about the numbers

its rare for anyone to OD

problems of a democracy

It still happens a lot. Plus even if they don’t OD their life is still ruined

Every day I believe in democracy less

marxists like to claim we're experiencing problems of "late stage capitalism", but in reality we're in a late stage democracy

242 years of "progress"

Bring back feudalism

Quote from wiki from first paragraph of the Classical Liberalism article: "It drew on the classical economic ideas espoused by Adam Smith in Book One of The Wealth of Nations and on a belief in natural law, utilitarianism and *progress.*"

America was founded as a progressive liberal country and it has definitely progressed over the centuries. Read progress as in the way cancer progresses.

Communism would only be sweet if we were in Native war tribes

Irony bro tribal tattoos

One ball says “Weekly”
