If you want those things then you are a republican, there’s no pretending.

If the democrats would have given them those, they’d have continued their “woke capitalism” arc…

Guys it was just a prank. I’m not really fascist, I was just pretending. I just gave money to the fascists as a joke, isn’t that funny?

Fascism and capitalism go hand-in-hand because their goals align almost exactly. I also read or heard that fascism is the enforcement arm of capitalism when the peasants become unruly (ergo regulating enterprise and the leverage of tax in the rich). I’ll see if I can find the quote or video I saw about the comparisons between capitalism and fascism. It was a really interesting read.

Do you have an example of a political system that can somehow handle “peasants” becoming unruly without turning into some sort of fascism?

OK, let me write thus out: Trump = China tariffs; Tencent = 48.4% owner in epic games; Tencent = Chinese military corp; Tim Sweeney = chinas side.

Yeah, I don’t recall ever reading a Tim Sweeney quote and thinking, “that sounds about right.”

Eh he once gave me an all you can drink pass at the after party for a gaming convention in Melbourne.

So the quote is ‘get whatever you want, drinks are on me tonight’.

Its still a complete mystery how I made it back to my hotel with no map, no local knowledge and on foot.

I don’t think he’s able to afford to kiss the ring, otherwise he would.

Why wouldn’t he be? Sweeney is a billionaire, richer than Tim Cook even.

He’s also swimming in Chinese money, so this might not be a purely altruistic statement.
