@chartier BWAHAHAHAHA...Oh, dear sweet naive child. In some economic systems just COMPLAINING that they were being fed spoiled food measurably could kill them faster than the tainted goods themselves. You think it's capitalism forcing one quarter of north korea to starve to death? Capitalism that created the Holodomor?
Become a better student of history. Regulations in many nations were ENTIRELY because it's ruling class enjoyed them was standard faire across the world until the late 1800's.
@Beggarmidas @chartier yeah sorry you have been endoctrinatef by the retarded us departement of education.
@joel_falcou @chartier ....If you only knew even a fraction of how badly off base you are....I didnt have academic opportunities. I didn't even have a real chance to graduate from high school. I had to get my GED at 17. Why? Because i was randomly singled out for special abuse during the satanicpanic by hysterical zealots staffing PUHSD.
Now i'm not a man given to wantonly hurt, but if you'd said such a thing to my face at any point after age 15 you'd shortly be finding yourself spitting teeth.
@joel_falcou @chartier I am what I am DESPITE a public school system wanting me dead. I educated myself as I travelled the world on the survival skills I was forced to perfect just to survive those years. I always had 2-3 college textbooks in my duffel to read filling dead time between gigs.
I don't let SM OP-ED bug me. But you've unintentionally stumbled into a minefeild because of all the lost life opportunities I might have had if it were even remotely true. knowing that now, care to reframe?
@Beggarmidas @chartier I don't recall asking for your sob stories. Those tired argument about "but the soviet union" are tiring. Usa style capitalism is a piece of shit that is killing the planet. But keep being a boomer
