    It is mistaken to blame that on "capitalism. " That's your precious central authority, just executing it's will in a way you don't agree with. If all you want is a dictatorship guided only by YOUR opinions, you're done before you start.

    You people all have the power to deprive shareholders of that value. You're just unwilling to consider anything that jeopardizes your comfort or convenience.

    And who is that “central authority”? People? People who were bribed to write and pass laws? Yes, we (Americans) have allowed this to happen. That doesn’t make it unchangeable. It could still be fixed. You know, if it weren’t for people who insist on keeping an economic system that works only for those who want to remain in power.

    But, hey, capitalism is great.

    Now apply the same thought process towards why Russia, etc are not "socialism".

    I mean, I'm being charitable in assuming it's a thought process as opposed to a Pavlovian bell-ring with you whenever capitalism is challenged. but give it a go.

    Strawman. I take no position on your suffering unless you are burdening me with the solution. It shouldn't matter how you think I have turned out unless you are planning to fuck with me somehow.

    Absolutely they should.

    What should NOT be included in the lesson is any variation of ".....and it is partly your fault" or "....and you were born into the obligation to compensate for it."

    Not a real thing that's happening in this dimension.
    Listen to the testimony of David Pecker.
    If you think all right-wing propaganda doesn't have the same kind of cynical strategy meetings as The National Enquirer, you really are too far gone.

    Bullshit. White privilege and reparations are absolutely a rallying cry for the left.

    Those are things.
    Whether they're conspiracies to come into your house and eat your eyeballs is for you and UA to prove.
    You've done a piss poor job of doing so.

    White privilege isn't a rallying cry, it's a fact.

    Whether that fact hurts your delicate little feelings or not.

    It's a fact you have to prove at the individual level. Assuming it by default is some lazy, mindless horse shit used to push the agenda of perpetual victimhood.

    If you're pretending it doesn't happen, you should have no issue with excluding it.
