I want to believe that the kids mentioned in posts like this are playing along with their parents’ delusions so they don’t have to sit through another lecture about how the Federal Reserve is a Ponzi scheme and they’re chemtrailing us with fluoride.
I wanted to dismantle the state for a socialist ideal in at least middle school. I didn’t like punk until freshmen year of high school though, so we all go through changes even if my politics have mostly stayed the same.
Edit: thinking back on it I remember having an anticapitalist moment in 5th grade, Miss Hill’s class so we’ll scale that back to elementary school.
I have a similar story. I’m glad you grew up, and I hope adulthood is treating you well!
I mean technically the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme they charge interest on money printed requiring more money to be paid back than they printed. Ergo there isn’t enough print money in existence to pay them back.
Regular economic thinking doesn’t work on the scale of nations. Just like a family having debt is not the same thing as a country having debt.
Pretty much everyone in the world has no full idea how an economy works and how to best stimulate it. It’s like a trillion moving parts and smart asses always go “yea this pin over here? That’s the one that’s the problem / solution”
Pretty much no-one knows. We have ideas what’s better / worse but anyone who tells you they’ve got it figured out, is lying.
Rice confirmed sentient and sapient. Vegans everywhere are in tears. International governments are drafting a Bill of Rice to ensure the rights of these beings. Churches are redirecting rice purchased for weddings to be given directly to their missionaries. Little do we know, the grains will soon band together and revolt, and the Rice War will be upon us.
Oh man we’d be so fucked if all plants were sentient. We’d still eat, but we’d be doomed to commit plant war crimes to live
The hate jar has visible condensation. The moisture probably is driving the mold growth.
And this is how you fail in teaching your children science.
One, day… some adult is going to think “that fucking cunt ass bitch lied to me about the rice”.
