Someone said that in Australia, medicines cost $8, while in the US they cost $2000.
 
And then there’s the news that Pfizer and Moderna have raised the prices after more people are buying them. Whether it’s for “research” or “i n n o v a t i o n” (same excuse for patent protection garbage), I think it’s because of corporations’ obsession with money.
 
Things like these are why I hate corporations and lean a little closer to socialism. I still don’t want to be a Twitter Marxist or a communist nonetheless.

Same thing. I especially prefer one that makes corporations weaker, allowing poorer and underprivileged people to achieve better wealth and a comfortable lifestyle. And one where costs are lessened, work become less demanding, and education and jobs are more available.
 
The problem is that there might be a risk of people who will waste social benefits instead of putting it to good use.

It’s a trope, but it seems true. Some socialism can make a big difference for the better. When you’ve got corporations funneling money from dying people to Wall Street it’s hard to not yearn for a Star Trek future right now.

Just now, I was answering to some MAGAt about why he thinks the American Left wants to kill Babbitt. I wrote that it’s because she wanted to kill the senators.
 
Then, a Trumpist said that I’m stupid because Babbitt was unarmed, so she couldn’t murder the senators. Could anyone here show me any links about Babbitt’s motives? The Trumpists think that she’s just a protestor.
 
EDIT: also, socialists in the US are upset over the US nuking Japan to force it to end the Pacific War. They stated that the Japanese government already agreed to surrender because its economy was getting broken, even though opponents stated that the Japanese were too fanatical to be convinced.
 
In January 1945 — two days before Franklin Roosevelt was to meet with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in Yalta — the Japanese were offering surrender terms almost identical to what was accepted by the Americans on the USS Missouri in the Japan Bay on September 2, 1945.
The Japanese population was famished, the country’s war machine was out of gas, and the government had capitulated. The Americans were unmoved. The firebombing and the nuclear attacks were heartlessly carried out. If anyone is guilty of disregarding the “context” of the firebombing of Tokyo, it’s the sycophantic and biased American historians who deride these critical facts.

She physically broke into the Capital, trying to climb in a broken window while a line of police officers shouted at her to stop. Why do you need to know her motivation? Why are you willing to waste your time even trying to ‘prove’ her motivation when her actions say enough?

The cops had no way of knowing her motivation. They had no way of knowing whether she was armed. All they knew is that they were the last thing standing between her and the Vice President of the United States.

Trumpists will keep on saying “but she was just protesting!”. That is why, and that is what I’ve seen on Twitter.
 
Maybe I should answer the MAGAts with the actions of the other rioters: they, too, were trying to kill the senators and vandalise the Capitol. The MAGAts at the riot also threatened to hang Mike Pence. Babbitt also did the same thing, so the cops had to stop her and them.
 
As for the “kill the senators” motive, I based it from this image: https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/23841589_web1_Tsr_Capitol-standoff.jpg
 
The senators were trying to defend themselves.
 
Video footage of the shooting shows dozens of rioters on one side of a glass door, having already breached the Capitol building and trying to force their way through into the debating chamber.
The agitated rioters chant “break it down, we don’t want to hurt you”.

STOP KOSA!
So, did 4chan and 8chan play any kind of role in January 6th?
 
I kinda expected them to be some sort of ringleaders to that assault.

I bet if she had been crawling in through the freshly broken living room window in their house with a mob outside building a gallows and screaming for murder, they wouldn’t be considering whether she was ‘just protesting’.

Depends on how directly responsible you’re asking.
 
The various chans are responsible for radicalizing the Alt-Reichers. But you know, ♪Ironically♪.
 
4chan is also the birthplace and central infestation pit of QAnon.
 
Both of those were the main groups involved in the MAGA Jihad on the 6th. And I wouldn’t doubt that many of the planning even happened there.
 
So how directly the chans are responsible is debatable, but there is no question that they were one of the leading causes.
