I joined Reddit during the digg exodus. Before digg I was into fark and before fark, something awful.
It's good that things die. it's where new mediums come from. It also keeps the power with the user. It's an important part of the internet life cycle.
Welfare programs in capitalist countries can be socialism.
NATO members in general are too comfortable relying too much much on the U.S. defense umbrella. It is something the U.S. has been warning NATO members about for a long time. It’s meant to be a collective defense. What’s happening in Ukraine should be a loud wakeup call.
I'm fine with NATO members relying on the US defense budget as long as they spend their money on socialist programs at home. The US could provide the best socialist safety net on the planet, and still outspend the rest of the world 40:1 on defense if it would just tax the rich. Tax capitol gains like income as well, and 80% tax on everything over 20 million a year, 95% tax on everything over 200 million a year, and 99% tax on everything over 1 billion a year.
Boom now we can do the best socialized medicine on the plan and have enough left over to build a couple hundred new NATO bases where ever member states want them.
Bro I been growing edamame. Holy fucking shit. You'll fucking cum.
