I got used to living minimally when I was a student and while I’m more financially secure now, I actually enjoy not owning a lot of junk/treats/knickknacks. Obviously that doesn’t mean it’s fine for people to be poor; the difference is I’m not on the verge of homelessness and under-purchasing out of fear, I’m more economically stable and living more minimally by choice without that fear. Connecting more with nature is a big part of it.

The US military budget is $842 billion. The 2008 bailouts cost $700 billion. Corporate profits in the US are $2.7 TRILLION per year. You’re talking chump change. Do better.

OP be like: “Yes, I’m a socialist. No, I’ve never read Marx nor Engels, I get my ideas from CNN. Why do you ask?”

He was so effective at leading that the borders of Germany went from a Europe-spanning empire to a single bunker in Berlin in the span of just four years. So effective that he shot himself just to prove how effective he was. His military leadership was so good that Germany lost every major battle he directed, and his economic leadership was so good that German people went without food and his combat forces could not replenish their losses. His social leadership was so good that Germans hatched plots to assassinate him. So effective!

Hexbear user here. No, it isn’t Russian propaganda. Joe Biden himself said in 1997, six years after the collapse of the USSR, that if anything would provoke Russia into war it would be Western military expansion into countries bordering Russia. 25 years later, that same Joe Biden became president of the US and had NATO break the Minsk agreements that would have prevented the Donbas conflict from escalating into all out war. Exactly what Joe Biden said on camera would happen 25 years earlier. Unless you consider Joe Biden himself to be a Russian propagandist, it’s wrong to say what you said. Respectfully, I strongly suggest you read up on the Minsk agreements and Joe Biden’s political history prior to 2008. As was the norm to say in leftist communities before 2022, NATO and its expansion is in fact a bad thing.

Edit: want to add an edit to say that while hexbear users are notorious for shit posting we are also happy to discuss things amicably on your platforms. I don’t see why we shouldn’t be able to discuss areas where we disagree. I’m sure we all have a lot to learn, and I don’t really want to live in an echo chamber like patriots.win or some shit.
