Capitalism = dildo gets used on you for money until you save up enough to buy your own.
I regretted believing in the likes of Sargon of Akkad and Stefan Molyneux about Hilary and Trump.
I'm not at the point where I regret my 2016 vote. But I am at the point where I'm more likely to spoil my ballot when it comes to the presidential election than I am to vote for Trump.
Not that it matters much. He will win my state regardless.
Capitalism = dildo gets used on you for money while promising that if you take work that dildo hard enough, you can one day buy your own.
Alright, my turn
Capitalism: You dont get your turn on the dildo until you worked hard enough (inside joke: you can never work hard enough. We already took them all away because their ours. You all can share this one banana, though.)
Capitalism: Entrepreneurs have a monopoly on dildos and rent them out to the lower and middle classes with applicable fees. Some restrictions may apply. Dildo lender is not liable if the dildo consumer feels sore and unsatisfied. Also the dildo is mining your data.
I think you need to put something in there about how one set of dildos is definitely NOT available for the 'general public.'
Also, data mining is used to force general public into accepting more dildos

Hold up, you want to jerk the dildo? Cuz that comes with a surcharge.
See, says so right here in the fine print in the agreement for which we reserved the right to arbitrarily change.
Ok I just want ask a question and I am so sorry if I sound rude as hell but HOW!?!.
Well I still had my doubts about Trump, as in I didn't want him to be President over other candidates. But I kinda bought into the Anti-Hilary rhetoric that was going on.
Not the Pizza Gate thing, but more the DNC throwing Bernie Sanders under the bus, and Hilary probably going to be a hawkish Warmonger. Something about "If Russia hacks the US, we go to war with them"
That's all I even remember because I kinda forgotten what exactly those guys said since then I have stopped watching them all together and I have found other videos showing how awful Trump really is and how wrong these youtubers are.
That may have something to do with the fact that they never actually present cogent arguments for any of their claims and instead focus on trying to discredit everyone who disagrees with them.

That's the thing that no one really thinks about, we actually need a much harsher stance on all the computer shit Russia is doing to us. Like, if you have been paying attention to all the ransomware lately, its a huge issue and a pretty easy way for hackers to make a lot of money since now even backups aren't safe and hackers are also threatening to release data into the wild if the ransoms aren't payed.
I'm not particularly concerned about Russia for the most part. It only really has two things in its favour, fossil fuels and an army. What does Russia give the world (except border incursions and organised crime)? Nothing, really.
Russia is a crypto-autocracy; a sclerotic state groaning under a corrupt and clumsy bureaucracy and economy that is scraping the barrel of past glories. It sells its long-term future for short term, nationalist pride: deluding itself that hastening its own irrelevance is winning. Its population is surprisingly modest (<150M); it is in decline by birth rate and maintained only by immigration of ethnic Russians from other ex-Soviet states, which gradually saps its influence over its old imperial territories. In 1990, Russia had a GDP/capita twice that of Poland; now its 2/3rds of Poland, and growing more slowly. In fact, it's growing slightly slower than the USA and about the same as the EU, and will shortly be overtaken by China... it's falling behind. Its influence over Europe has already collapsed (only Belarus and maybe Serbia remain faithful), and China is consuming its old central Asian influence.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine was symptomatic of its weakness. It wanted to keep these border states in its zone of influence, and the only way it had to do so was by military action, because it had nothing else: cultural ties, economy, political pressure... not enough. Russia's strutting around in places like Syria, needling of and interference in the West is all very showy. Superficially, it makes Russia look strong and Putin look like some sort of geopolitical master, mostly to conceal that the underlying fundamentals for Russia look almost uniformly grim.
Sure, we need to firewall our societies from Russian IT arsery, but otherwise we can just leave the place to sink into a mire of its own making.
Which even if true would be a self-inflicted wound for Sanders, as he's not a registered Democrat and the party didn't have to give him the time of day, let alone a spot.
We can't even get people to agree on vote by mail(something something voter fraud something something). Digital is a pipe dream for the foreseeable future.
