The point of animal farm is “Communists are so shit, they’re almost as bad as capitalists”. Suggesting that Orwell wouldn’t prefer communism to capitalism is simply false.

Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who was worse, George W. Bush or Donald Trump?1·2 years agoI usually use half a million, as that’s the undisputed number. I agree though that it’s most likely a full million. Why would you believe anything trump says? And Trump’s response to COVID is not nearly as bad as what bush did in Iraq.
Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who was worse, George W. Bush or Donald Trump?910·2 years agoAnyone who says trump was worse should not be taken seriously about politics, all they care about is feeling good about their country and being able to ignore politics. Bush killed half a million Iraqis in service of oil company quarterly earnings, it’s not even close.
Look, capitalism clearly does not work. Everything Marx and Lenin ever wrote about capitalism has come true. It is destroying our world more and more every day. Whatever you might say about communism, we do not know for a fact that it will ruin the lives of everybody, involved or not. No matter how bad you might claim communism is, it isn’t the thing that’s currently destroying our societies. So it is by definition better than capitalism.

Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.worksto Memes@lemmy.ml•The race for "Worst Dumpster Fire" is heating up. Everyone place your bets!11·2 years agoHow is buying oil from Russia remotely similar to that? America actually does do that, btw, by supplying the Saudis with the weapons they need to genocide Yemen.
Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.worksto Memes@lemmy.ml•The race for "Worst Dumpster Fire" is heating up. Everyone place your bets!1·2 years agoNo, it doesn’t. Taiwan seceded from them, they aren’t trying to colonize it. America bombing Iraq and destabilizing SA governments is killing for oil. Buying oil from Russia is not that.
Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.worksto Memes@lemmy.ml•The race for "Worst Dumpster Fire" is heating up. Everyone place your bets!21·2 years agoLiterally none of that is true. If it is, provide a source. Who has China gone to full scale war with for their oil? Genocide was made up by a far right grifter named Adrian zenz. You’ve fallen hardcore American propaganda bro.
Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.worksto Memes@lemmy.ml•The race for "Worst Dumpster Fire" is heating up. Everyone place your bets!11·2 years agoRight, that would make a lot of sense to do about the country that’s openly hostile to you. Oh, China has territory disputes with neighbors? The US will literally fucking bomb you to nothing for your oil, and/or stage a false flag coup to overthrow your government if they won’t sell them oil. We have also used corporate espionage to rewrite the laws of several South American countries into ineffectiveness, for the benefit of a fruit company. The two are not remotely comparable on foreign policy.
Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.worksto Memes@lemmy.ml•The race for "Worst Dumpster Fire" is heating up. Everyone place your bets!2·2 years agoChina isn’t hostile, afaik only the US has been hostile. And claiming that tiktok did that is equivalent to saying random American company is responsible for bombing Iraq

Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Couples, what secret language do you use to tell each other details that the company you're in doesn't understand or notice?21·2 years agoSo you keep a bud light lime on you at all times, just in case? Wont that simply result in your GF ignoring the sign, since you always have one on you?
Russia isnt doing a genocide, they’re just Fighting a war over land. You can tell by the fact that Putin speaks about Crimeans as if they’re equivalent to Russians, while Israel has made it clear they consider all Palestinians to be animals.
