I wouldn’t even call it a mall. It’s a shopping district.

I thought conventional wisdom was that fettuccine Alfredo was the best food to gorge on during a long run.

I amend my request to include countries which don’t recognize the term “economy” as well.

How are the non-capitalist societies doing in this front? I don’t mean uncontacted indigenous tribes that are too small to make a difference. I mean large nations of millions of people that function with non-capitalist economies.

If we narrow down to only the countries who have successfully implemented democratically controlled production, what is their carbon footprint like? Then we can extrapolate from those model nations to determine how it would impact the globe as a whole.

Big tits.

That wasn’t the best video to highlight the horrific abuses. Can you link the other ones?

That’s IDF propaganda. Oh, what? It’s what the Palestinians are reporting? Should be taken at face value, then.

Who’s deflecting? Your claim went beyond that Israel is arming factions in Gaza which oppose Hamas. You claimed there is no civil war. That claim presupposes that the current fighting is only between Israel and Gaza, not between factions within Gaza.

My position is that outside groups are funding sides in the civil conflict, but those conflicts transcend a battle of Israel vs. Iran.

The racist side is the one that thinks Palestinians all think the same way, and that only Israelis are the source of any conflicts between Palestinians.

And Iran backs Hamas. That doesn’t mean there aren’t disagreements amongst Palestinians that lead to Arab on Arab violence. They do have free will over there, too.

Do you realize that Palestinians are not a monolith with no disagreements? Yet you expect the Israelis (including Arab Israelis, apparently) are behind the in-fighting. I suppose Israel promoted the Hamas takeover of Gaza too.

The Jews are behind everything!

She and I started dating, and she’s had a lot less time for making Fediverse friends since starting her new job.

That was supposed to read “mime” instead of “mine.” Thanks, autocorrect.

Mime is money.

This is a legal insurrection.

According to a moron on oxy.

It’s good to see Fediverse people actually supporting paying for something. Sometimes I think they want everything for free.

Two kingdoms of life vs. one species.

15% of Earth’s biomass vs. 0.01%.

It’s odd to call it a peace agreement. You’d think it was between India and Pakistan with that terminology.

Under capitalism, companies do what their owners want them to do. The owners can choose to try to grow, to shrink, to sell, or to close.

Publicly owned companies have shareholders, and the shareholders usually want the company to grow so their investment grows. Shareholders can have other values, but anyone can become a shareholder.

Under non-capitalist systems, the government might own some or all companies. Then the companies do whatever the party in power wants. The party in power probably doesn’t have time to run all the companies, so they give some level of independence. They can reign that back whenever they like.

The most common motivation in non-capitalist systems is probably greed and growing personal wealth of party leaders via corruption under that system. Luckily, the people can vote in a different party and/or protest against party corruption except in all real-world cases, where that is banned or suppressed.
