Haha absolutely, I’m also one of the people who always said all this rainbow and green washing is bullshit. As if they ever cared for anything.

Capitalism has no values, except for one: shareholder value. Yesterday they help sending people to concentration camps, today they help saving the world and increasing diversity, yeah, totally convincing.

There is one thing to rely on with capitalism - if you convince people you can make good money with it or it is good for the brand, they will jump onto it and squeeze the shit out of it. An abstract, amoral force, made from a large number of concrete shitty people.

Yes, exactly. To make America great again, Americans first have to take their country back from the oligarchs that are destroying it and sucking it dry. Noone else can or will do it for them.

How many are you?

Fridays for Future mobilized hundreds of thousands to demonstrate for action against climate change.

I can’t imagine they could suppress such demonstrations.

Just genuinely curious - is it like, thousands? Tens of thousands? And why is it not more? And are you saying the media are already so much under control like in Russia or China that any movement can be extinguished before it even can grow ?

It’s just like Russia, only that the official main public TV channel is Fox News, and all the others are too.

Guess which US channel is the only one Russian TV ever cites in their propaganda against the democratic West ?

Exactly. Fox News.

Luckily I was only born in that shithole, my family emigrated 30 years ago, when I was a kid. Still, half of them are brainwashed and watch that crap all day. Kremlin TV. It’s all the same bullshit. Hate, cynicism, making fun of liberal values, playing the victim.

Truth is, USA and Russia are two hateful siblings who usually fought but actually are pretty much the same. Cold war was never truly about systems, it was about who is the top dog. Now they realized they can just work together and divide the cake.

I always hated Europe being so under US influence, but it seemed like the lesser evil because Europe also profited from it, cannot deny that.

But now there’s Russia on the right, and Russia on the left. And China can just relax and wait until the dust settles and collect the pieces.

Hugs from Germany. It must be painful to watch this unfold. Now everybody can see live how it all happened in Germany. And it is still possible that the fascist wave will roll again over Europe too. I hope we don’t, as usual, copy every trend from the US with a few years delay…
