I agree! Let me know when you find an uncorrupt government or uncorrupt corporation.

middle class is an illusion
I'm actually very centrist; I don't want to eat the rich.
After all, I'm a vegan and think that anyone involved in the meat industry should be put in jail.
So, dead center. That's me.
There is not such thing as middle class, pure sophistic. There are ~~only~~ 2 classes, proletariat and bourgeoisie.
All great social media does. The secret is that reality favors the progressive left
It's weird. It's almost like educated people skew left. So very weird...
My experience has been the opposite. I've found that the majority of users tend to lean towards neoliberal and center-right ideologies. I guess most of them are probably American, so their warped worldview has them considering these ideologies as 'left-wing' instead 🙃
I thought left also meant protection against unregulated markets? Without regulations it is just going to be capitalismplusplus.
capitalismplusplus
Ah yes, my favourite programming language!
C++ checks out
The statement in the image is just loaded with terminology that comes with a lot of baggae. It's no surprise people tear into it. Can't speak to whether that makes them leftist or just poly sci students.
"Uncorrupt" misunderstands the nature of corruption. How do you envision resolving the interests of the forces that give validity to said government while still keeping a capitalist structure?
"Generate wealth" presupposes a specific kind of wealth created by the government and given validity by the capitalist structure. You win at the rules of the game you made up. "Middle class" has a similar problem. "Prosperity" to a nation starving under the global capitalist regime might look quite different. Why use one benchmark over the other? Because of the game you want to choose.
"uncorrupt government"
😂😂😂
Why should some people be allowed to be rich but not most people?
I hadn't experienced hexbear (literally) shitting up the place yet, has a way to block entire instances been implemented or do I gotta find a new one that isn't federated with them?
if you're incapable of seeing perspectives outside the mainstream I hear Reddit is nice this time of year
I can tune out tankie nonsense (not accusing everyone at hexbear of being tankies, but you guys sure do hang out with a lot of them) pretty easily, it's the 20 full pages of literal pig shit I'm talking about
"Uncorrupt government"
This is as delusional as anyone can get.
A wise man said it all once: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
