Adam Smith, the father of modern capitalism, was very clear that free markets had to be well regulated by definition otherwise they would tend towards monopolies and non productive rent seeking behaviors. Only a well regulated free market can remain stable and competitive in the long run.

The capitalists aren't even playing by their own playbook anymore they just want all the money and everyone else to die I guess.

Holy shit that video is based as fuck. Watching the Democrats right now is like watching someone say "the ice cream has poison in it" and then they order a sundae.

Oh yeah, we definitely form close knit family and community units with dispersed hierarchy instead of giving all the bananas and power to a small handful of apes who can then impose their will on everyone else.....

Canadian satire to the rescue! https://www.thebeaverton.com/2025/03/zelensky-pretty-sure-disgraceful-meeting-could-have-been-disgraceful-email/

Zelensky suggested that a hypothetically efficient email could have read: “Dear Volodymyr, we are pulling all US military support for Ukraine because our administration has been personally bribed by Russian President Putin, and because Trump still wants revenge for the time you refused to open a sham investigation into Joe Biden and he got himself impeached. The End.”

“See how succinct that could’ve been?” Zelenskyy added.

What are you talking about? Conservative used to just mean people who wanted to protect and conserve the American way of life and the American political and economic systems..... Which oppress minorities and enrich the owner class lol

WAP official video isn't age restricted and this is.... Pretty telling.

Not implying anything is wrong with WAP, just comparing two explicit songs, one that calls out Elon and Palestine and one that .... doesn't.

He's a troll. All his comments have massive downvotes and he never participates in any respectful productive discussion. Downvote and move on, because engaging with trolls just gives them a chance to say more dumb shit. Like the classic "I'm not a troll, if you disagree with what I said explain how because what I said is true" or whatever other dumb shit they come up with to try to get you hooked so they can say more heinous things.

Ah, my apologies. I'll make sure to stick to one argument at a time so that you can understand.

You're a troll. You think your opinions are "enlightened" or "rational" but they're not. What you excel at is upsetting people by being abrasive. Look at your comment history and the downvotes you get on nearly every subject. When you speak, you do so in a way that's upsetting to people. It's not WHAT you say, but rather HOW you say it that creates this reaction. You're just a troll and you've somehow convinced yourself that the downvotes are proof that you're right and everyone else is wrong.

Upsetting your fellow humans is not the mark of a good person, nor is it the mark of an intelligent one.

The rare time you use your intelligence to form a coherent empathetic argument you get hundreds of people supporting you. Maybe try to build off that instead of feeling proud of your abrasive countenance.

I'm looking forward to your "honest debate" in every thread related to murder and capital punishment, but I know this is the only victim you'll be defending in the near future. While you accuse others of dishonesty, it's classic projection of your own moral fallings.

When posters say their convictions are simple "innocent until proven guilty and having the right to competent defense" they're dishonest because "this is the only thread we're in, what a coincidence /s". Why the same logic doesn't apply to you is a mystery.

Also this wasn't first degree murder in New York, that is reserved for the premeditated murder of specific classes of people such as law enforcement. If you're going to have these "clear and easy to express convictions" at least be accurate and clear about it.

I had you tagged as "conservative pseudointellectual" from previous interactions and it's been accurate EVERY TIME I run into you. You consistently defend capitalism and conservatism, and now Catholicism for some reason? Against the interestes of the population in general.

Last Trump admin the US tariffed China, China retaliated by tariffs on US ag goods. Eventually Trump caved (or genius negotiation depending on your political colour) and China lifted the tariffs. Ask American farmers if they got those contracts back once China developed relationships with Brazilian farmers instead. Look at how many small farms folded since then and have been bought by commercial interests. Think that's a coincidence? Only megacorporations can afford to wait out the consequences of these actions.

The consequences of this idiocy will last a long time.

I don't see you standing up for all murder victims. You're ONLY here in this thread defending this specific murder victim. Your dishonesty is plain as day. It's clear that you think the rich should not face the social consequences of their actions. You think that as long as someone follows the law they should be able to harm as many people as they want as long as they create shareholder value. The fact that this is the murder victim you're defending is pure coincidence! You act like you just want everyone around you to have "honest discussions" but you hide your own convictions. At least have the courage of your convictions.

I can't believe that the NDP get labeled as fiscally irresponsible for supporting increasing our healthcare and our standard of living, something that is PROVEN to be cheaper than a private market solution for healthcare and standard of living.

The conservatives have the reputation as the fiscally responsible ones. Our provincial conservatives just spent 660 million dollars, to get 24s of beer into grocery stores a year before the exclusive contract with the beer store expired. That's $50 per Ontario resident. How is that responsible?!?!?

Sure, anyone who disagrees with you is evil or dishonest. That's how you know that YOU'RE the only one engaging in honest open discussion.

The headline is "crowd raises money to defend innocent man accused of crimes".

I don't know where you're getting that we're celebrating murder. You won't even accept that you're jumping to conclusions. You've got a lot of assumptions built into that head of yours sir.

It's fucking wild to watch the Americans fuck everything up through fascism and seeing most Canadians say the same shit the Americans were saying 4 months ago about all parties being the same and that they can't vote for the "secretly corrupt" center party and that they're voting for the overtly corrupt alt-right conservatives.

The protests almost always made sure emergency vehicles made it through without delay.

This is a hilarious story and I love it.

Max Planck: I also just discovered the shortest amount of time something can last any ideas what I should name it?

Marie Planck: Planck time

Max Planck: :'(

Imagine changing the Bible version of Jesus to supply side Jesus unironically. I swear my ribs hurt from laughing at the OP and your comment, thank you, I needed that.
