  • Just look at the people in charge of the Democratic party. Especially the ones who are planning to die in office to leave behind a legacy.

    They’re just conservatives in sheep’s clothing. They’ve done the bare minimum to seem left leaning, but they’re currently clinging to power and are refusing anyone with “socialist” views to get any power. They’ve been blocking Bernie for over a decade, they’re making sure AOC doesn’t make big tweets that would overshadow their Newsom puppet, the DNC changed their rules to prevent new blood, etc.

    None of the documentation or statements by US officials are consistent, and appear to include a bit of lying. So people are leaning towards him being at least partially correct in his accusations.

    In short, they saw the picture and then began an extended interview where they made a bunch of false claims, and used made up reasons to deny him. Then later claimed they used more reasonable argument, which also doesn’t really hold water.










  • It’s not about shortages, it’s about labor. They’re bringing back the “company store”, they’ll get import excemptions and similar and force people to them and lock them into a system they can’t escape.

    It makes it so people can’t save money, can’t move, can’t rise in the class system, etc… They can only work.


    Edit for clarification: Around the 1900s and earlier, some companies would pay salaries in company credit, not cash. The credits could only be used in the company store, not the general store, or other company stores. So they were literally unable to save up any money or do anything but keep working for the same company until they died. And this would be easily implemented now, by giving company stores special benefits in terms of tariffs and regulations. Forcing less fortunate people into was if effectively servitude.
