It's sinking because a billionaire super yacht rammed them. Then reversed, rammed them again. Then stole all their money. Then reversed, rammed them again. Now the billionaires are complaining their yacht has a scratch so they are sueing for 1.5bln.

Tbf they put a bulls eye on their boat and voted for the yacht to ram, rob and rape them. Leopards ate their faces
stop blaming the people, blame capitalism
Blaming things with no agency doesn't do anything. It hides the guilty parties
i worded it wrong and unprecisely. i think you should blame the people that gain from capitalism, the people that want to keep this system.
Lol yeah a human made idea of how humans should live. No way humans have power over it lol.
The planet is capitalistic, that's a lame excuse for voting for nazi populists. Nazi Germany wasn't capitalistic (also not socialistic or communistic), totalitarian authoritarianism by a ruling person or circle isn't bound to capitalism. I'd even say trump is not a capitalist any more, because that would mean he would not fuck with the markets with taxes and ego wars and let them be free. He's always only going for his own goals or those of people he thinks are his friends.
The whole world was warning them about this shouter. They've seen the clown for 4 years but not the red flags. And the people still chose him again.
But yes, it's the force, god, the universe, whatever. Never us..
im not saying capitalism is its own force or anything, im just saying that its unfair for blaming the people who are trapped in this system for voting "wrong" when there are no real options
The people is the system. It's not like they were physically forced to anything
they are being forced to participate in this system
Forced to vote for nazis and let them do nazi things? No.
There was at least 1 other option. And there still are options. But shutting the fuck up about everything and just imagining it's all lost and set in stone isn't it and the people are not forced to do so. They just adore their own arrogant narcism too much to think out of their tiny box that they think is he navel of the world.
The people are the culture and the culture causes the system. What I mean is y'all should start to think about the principle of cause and effect and your own role in there. It has to start with every single one.
Also annoy your government and everyone who could help to disempower them
I live in a capitalist country too. How should I not participate in capitalism? The only way to get rid of capitalism is a revolution. Will there be a revolution in america soon? dont think so. Americans have been so brainwashed into believing capitalism is the only way. The people who have all the wealth and power are the only ones who profit from capitalism, so of course they want to keep it. Those exact people also have the power to brainwash the population into believing that wokeness is the greatest threat to their society. I feel bad for all the american people, it doesnt matter if they voted republican or democrat.
You still focus on capitalism forcing them to keep being assholes lol. The current problem of the USA is not capitalism. It's national common assholery and nearly everyone there refuses to let it go since ever.
at this point you are just becoming racist. i wish to not further continue this conversation
How am I being racist? I was trying to explain to you that every single person effects their surroundings and the butterfly effect or so. You just don't have any argument.
I'm not saying no one over there is doing it right by trying to change attitudes. But the totality of the people doesn't even really want to become better
Well, decisions have consequences, and the current situation is simply the result of a whole chain of decisions made by U.S. citizens. Above all, the decision to simply accept everything that is clearly making their lives worse and worse.
It’s certainly not the case that the current administration single-handedly ensured that the most serious crimes go unpunished. They’re just exploiting the existing system in a particularly shameless way. So shameless, in fact, that even those Americans who previously did nothing but wave their Stars and Stripes while rubber-stamping one neoliberal "reform" after another are now feeling a bit downcast as they realize that the U.S. is actually an absolute hellhole where only the rich enjoy a comfortable life.
Things will continue just as they are, and will even get worse, because no one is holding the "elites" in check. U.S. citizens will just accept this and keep saying that there’s nothing they can do about it. They’ll even continue to reject anyone who points out that they could fight back, because that person supposedly doesn’t understand the situation anyway and shows no sympathy for their oh-so-hopeless predicament...
Well, it’s about time people realized that the American Dream is a nightmare. Unfortunately, I don’t think they’ll draw any conclusions from this, even now.
I imagine there's someone drowning inside because they lacked the fitness and motivation to get up and these two are Alaska and Hawaii doing their best to be picked up by a rescue nation.
