Because Americans are selfish and entitled. We think 'one day, that'll be us'. But that's statistically very slim.
Proud Masshole thriving in South Estonia. Nature-based solutions, blue-collar union supporter, queer hockey player, and more. My dad always taught me to be "a lova, not a fighta." Turns out I'm both — let's reshape USA.

It's weird hearing Trump voters and supporters use capitalist examples to explain why communism doesn't work. "They will make you work long hours for little money." That's how capitalism works. You capitalize on exploitative practices that are technically legal, but morally objectionable.

Now that I'm back in Boston, all I hear anyone talk about is the #KarenRead trial. The insidiously opaque political implications are more disturbing to me than the death itself. Your legal critiques and commentary came to mind immediately, @msolurin.bsky.social. Are you familiar with the case?

I’m a bit upset that more Irish Americans haven’t spoken out against the hypocritical double standards and racism from the Trump admin. They remove Black History Month, but celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. A disgusting mockery of what the actual Saint stood for. He drove the SNAKES out of Ireland.

Unfortunately, capitalists made sure the left ceased to exist in politics. 99% of Americans are NOT capitalists. Many want to be, but majority will never be actual capitalists. They use corporations to buy politicians, so both parties benefit ($$$) from demonizing anything not pro-capitalism.
