  • I’m not sure if you’re American but I’m English, we were educated on the great depression in the US but also, for example on our industrial revolution and how mass protest and strikes (mostly focused on the UK) have improved laws, working conditions and so on, how the suffragettes fought for women’s rights etc. We weren’t taught that capitalism is the only option - though we weren’t given too much on communism I don’t think we have the same mass hysteria about communism or socialism as seems usual in the US.

    I think that billionaires could build these places… They have the money. Towns maybe. In the UK businesses already built towns, eg Saltaire. Cults build towns, don’t they? They could entice, bribe, threaten enough people to live there, but it wouldn’t work in the end. They do build or at least grow company towns - look at Microsoft or the big tech firms in silicon valley. A country/state can’t be run like a company in the long run so its doomed to failure, but they could absolutely do it or pay others to do it and make it look good for a while.











  • Reminded me of an abusive parent.

    ‘After everything I’ve done for you!’

    Trump must have been convinced that Zelensky owed him so much and was so desperate that he could say and make him do whatever he wanted.

    But no you orange asswipe, Zelensky is a man (by the most complementary definition).

    Trump got showed up as a bullying whiner - a shrew who tries to berate people into giving him respect that he hasn’t earned and doesn’t deserve.

    Edit: Adding this to help Ukraine >>

    If, like me, anyone wants to show their feelings this is a great time to donate to Zelensky’s fund to help Ukraine.

    I hope it blows up and next time he’s at the white house Zelensky can use his time in front of the media to thank us for donating huge amounts… biggest donations ever seen… Lol
