Where's do you live that you have a pension and free healthcare?

That bad apple has long since ruined the bunch

Tie it to inflation and end taxes on individuals... It makes no sense to distribute UBI and then tax it. Just tax the whole bill for society to the corporations. That incentivizes corporations to put pressure on each other to keep prices down and make products that last. There are definitely some industries that should be owned by the state though.

Also a vassal state of the US

You're correct, pedophilia is a mental illness. A very tragic one since there is no hope and no cure. They can't even ask for help because everyone will automatically assume they are also child molesters. Which is what you're describing, but not all child molesters are pedophiles, and most pedophiles will never become child molesters... Like you said, some people just get off on exploiting the power dynamic and aren't necessarily sexually attracted to children. Those people are the real danger.

If that 6% is someone believing the billionaires and fascists are NOT the enemies, then that's a pretty significant 6%... But otherwise, yeah, the rest we can work on

Dad owns the bucket and you get 1 piece for every 1000 you collect. Sure Dad's gonna take 99.9% of the candy, and working together we'd end up each taking home way more candy, but then I'd have to work collectively with "they"! No thanks. /s

What really makes me apathetic and not want to bother voting is every time someone puts pressure on Biden to be better, they're met with bullshit like this instead of "yeah, your right, let's keep the pressure up so he'll be even better next time"... You know what REALLY turns people off? Being dismissed and not feeling heard or validated

Wes4Humanity ,

Probably not a great argument for getting people to vote... Let alone vote the way you'd like them to

What if instead of a bunch of companies all at once, we just got a few million people to join a "strategic boycott club" or whatever we'd call it, and just go one company at a time, just for a month... Like, okay June 1st 100 million Americans say they are going to not buy anything from McDonald's for a month unless McDonald's immediately does xyz... I bet just the threat would tank their stocks. It's easier for the average person to just think about and execute on one thing at a time. Then once McDonald's gets the message, move on to the next company

I'm sure they were able to pick themselves up by the bootstraps right?

They arise because there will always be a small percentage of humans who are sociopaths. Simplified, this means they are willing to harm others, not just because they are starving and NEED to harm someone to get their basic needs met (which I'd argue most people are capable of), but even to take things they don't actually need. Since most people are not willing to hurt others to take things they don't actually need (usually even willing to bend rather than fight), sociopaths have a leg up on the rest of us. They were able to rise to power way back when the first cities were being built, and have maintained a sociopathic society ever since. Sociopathic tendencies are lauded amongst the corporate elites, and without them it is unlikely one will make it in the corporate world.
