These guys don’t really deal with who you’re talking about…but here’s a great podcast worth boosting…

Not sure what you mean.

I’m saying it not at all clear Maduro is illegitimate. Trump certainly has no high ground to unilaterally decide who is and who isn’t.

It’s unclear that they’re illegitimate.

Yes, they certainly manipulated an election.

…but “the west” was manipulating the same election.

There’s also a massive fraud behind the fraud: there was a huge fake polling and disinformation campaign designed to make it look like there’s more support for the capitalists and right wingers than there is. Like…yes…the election was fake…but where the fuck are these 80% support for his opponent numbers coming from? None of these numbers match what’s on the street.

If you dig through the bullshit…elections would be close…far from the landslides either side promise.

All that we’ve learned here is that in Latin America the USA really really doesn’t like losing its investments. A lesson we already learned 20 times. Soon most of it will just be Puero Rico with less influence.

Maybe rephrase? That didn’t help.

I don’t get care whether or not you like a word, it’s the appropriate one.

I said South Korea is a model for depopulation. Respond to what I say instead of what you want to be angry about, please.

They have low birth rates because they’re a wealthy country. Wealth is the most simple indicator of birth rate. Projecting your weird Asian stereotypes onto South Korea is…odd.

No, Sourh Korea isn’t “dying”. That’s the neoliberal framing. It remains to be seen how they deal with a low birth rate…and we should be watching because the phenomenon is going to happen in more and more places. My country, Canada, contracted in the last quarter, for example.

Neoliberals are scrambling everywhere because they used to love immigration, legal or otherwise, but they brought in so many immigrants to ensure growth that they created a fascist black lash and are now fighting over “preferred” immigrants (which will result in population loss).

The fuck are you talking about?

It’s not just one reason…I’m speaking broadly.

…but you can basically graph birth rates inversely with wealth.

No there won’t. The reason their birth rates are low is because they are so wealthy.

Low birth rates are sold to us as bad by neoliberals/capitalists because they believe that growth is the only way out of every problem. Unlimited growth is a terrible blunt instrument that’s basically created the unsustainable and unequal monster we live in today in the west.

Fact is that depopulation is the reality of the future and we should keep and eye on South Korea so we can learn from what they do.

It’s a neoliberal myth that your society needs to constantly be growing…ie there need to be more younger people than older people.

Be careful you’re not thinking like a neoliberal (endless growth) when you look at South Korea. In my opinion they’re a model, and we should be looking at depopulation everywhere.

No complaints, and thank you very much for making it.

The only thing I can think of is when I open the app I’ll sometimes see a post I’m interested in…but the feed will refresh, and I can’t find the post again. It’s not common the first post is one I’m interested in, I just don’t always remember to not look before it refreshes - so it’s mildly annoying. Not a huge deal.

Impossible question to answer:

Costs are so out of whack right now because wealth concentrate at the top.

At the end of the day we’d need a lot less money if money was more aligned with how much work we put in, instead of this “trickle up” society we’ve designed.

Was it a crass joke?

You’re the one trying to be funny on this thread. I’m not funny, and I don’t try to be.

The episode came out like 20 years ago.

It’s always good to have an opinion about something you don’t know about.

? Are you familiar with the point of the South Park episode?

Don’t assign so much meaning to a single word from somebody you don’t know.

Nope. Did you watch the South Park episode?

You might want to consider less virtue signalling.

I’m just quoting South Park.
