@rodroidrx @yogthos if we're saying USSR becoming isolated was bad, shouldn't we examine why capitalist states worked so hard to isolate or even eradicate them? What you said might well be true, but capitalist hegemony literally doesn't allow alternatives to even exist, never mind succeed.

@Maholmire @eob why are you offering your take on an issue that you openly admit you know nothing about? Why did you feel the need to downplay the actions of the US government, and the experience of OP, by highlighting the atrocities committed by other nations?

@AlexanderKingsbury @peteriskrisjanis @hugh @HeavenlyPossum @breadandcircuses @mcv if you told me this was a parody account I'd believe you. This is so intensely naive and myopic. It speaks so much to how the US is the most propagandised populace in the world.

@AlexanderKingsbury @peteriskrisjanis @hugh @HeavenlyPossum @breadandcircuses @mcv I am not disagreeing with you, I'm saying you haven't even fathomed what you're talking about. Americans are not overweight because there's an excess of "high quality food". While there may be a waste of high quality food, one of the major reasons people are overweight is because they can't access that food. Your pointing to Venezuela is so telling that you've just taken on the propaganda and actually have no understanding of the subject you're discussing. I have no doubt in my mind you know nothing about whatever you think the issues might be in Venezuela. You clearly know even less about the people suffering poverty in the US.

@AlexanderKingsbury @peteriskrisjanis @hugh @HeavenlyPossum @breadandcircuses @mcv do you think that's how learning works? You just change the topic being discussed until you find one simple enough that you can say whatever is already in your head, and if no one challenges you, then you've won?

@AlexanderKingsbury @peteriskrisjanis @hugh @HeavenlyPossum @breadandcircuses @mcv ridiculous statement. You know that's not true, and you know that's not the point you were challenged on.

@AlexanderKingsbury @peteriskrisjanis @hugh @HeavenlyPossum @breadandcircuses @mcv my dude, have eyes, I can look through the thread. No one is trying to convince you that people are overweight for reasons unrelated to caloric intake. You're conflating calories with nutrition. Someone having an excessive caloric intake does not mean they can't simultaneously be malnourished, as many people are in the USA.

@AlexanderKingsbury @peteriskrisjanis @hugh @HeavenlyPossum @breadandcircuses @mcv yeah, that was my point. I had a typo.If you know that, then why are you arguing against inequality in the US by pointing to obesity rates?

@AlexanderKingsbury @peteriskrisjanis @hugh @HeavenlyPossum @breadandcircuses @mcv do you even know what your point is? You're arguing that capitalism is good because it makes so much food that we can have a lot of overweight people while simultaneously having them be undernourished and others be starving.

@AlexanderKingsbury @peteriskrisjanis @hugh @HeavenlyPossum @breadandcircuses @mcv that a system has abundant capacity does not in any way imply it has any possible mechanism or realistic capability to provide for everyone.It's been centuries. If capitalism were going to be able to provide for everyone... when are we going to see it mature to that state? How come it's always, always, always prevented from providing for everyone by people who produce and consume more than they could ever need in multiple lifetimes? Given that this has been a core feature of capitalism from day one, what makes you think it's ever going to change?
