Remember when planes and hospitals had smoking sections? (Probably a lot of you do not).
  • I think the world is better off with the decline of tobacco but I used to spend time in East Germany and they used to have cigarette machines right on the street. My Oma would send me down with 5 marks to pick her up a pack.

  • Capitalism
  • I see you're picking and choosing what to try and call out here, but you dont have any clear call to action. You're just being obtuse. If I'm wrong, by all means, spell it out, but otherwise it's not particularly helpful.

  • Capitalism
  • I appreciate the perspective but nothing here says we can't be coscerbed by both positions (or all sides) of power.

    I don't want kings or monopolies, or either by any other name. No need to split hairs on it.

    I would also argue that "we hand powers over to modern capitalist institutions without a second thought" is a pretty loaded sentence. Who's doing that? Me? You? It's not like someone asked us. Sounds pretty dismissive to assume people are acting outside of their better interest.

  • Supreme Court Justice warns Americans: "The president is now a king".
  • See we use something called "context" to make sense of the things being explained as sometimes words can be interpreted differently or literally.

    In this case, the "context" of the ruling surrounds actions that Donald Trump took while president. It's because of this "context" that he is, in fact, the one in the illustration.

    It wouldn't really make sense for Biden to be here in the "context" of the article, but I'm sure that it wouldn't literally be incorrect.

    Does that help?

    Nice to know there's more of us.

    It's not a total surprise to constantly see the glorification of conservatives and Trump in UFC events, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one with a bad taste in my mouth. I enjoy MMA, have participated and been a fan for a while, and interestingly enough it's one of the spaces where I think politics make everything worse, especially as polarized as people are these days.
