Oh so baity!

You can remove "western democracy" there I guess.

Also nah, I can speak out against my boss, my eventual landlord and protest in the streets, because I live in France, a western democracy.

YMMW.

For the first 2 points: Don't use "Western democracies". This is a US problem. Canada has much stronger labour and home protections.

3rd point: Getting banned online is a "you" problem. Your government has nothing to do with why your shitty opinions get you banned or muted. The fact that you even have the ability to complain about your government online is a luxury many other governments don't afford to their people.

4th point: Whining about cereal variety makes the entire argument hold less water. Who the fuck cares about brands of cereal. Buy your cereal or don't, but shut the fuck up about it. This is an empty complaint about capitalism.

5th point: Fair enough.

I don't directly mean you, OP. Unless you made the meme... In which case I do mean directly you.

In the US, maybe. But that’s considered a flawed democracy and getting worse all the time. Only 8% of the nations on earth are full democracies, a number that continues to fall because of the pessimism and stupidity promulgated by authoritarian regimes.

Wait until they find out about non-American western countries

if I speak out online I could be muted or banned

Do you have any idea what social platforms look like when this is not the case?

Not solar.

Not punk.

This is grade 8 social studies.

If you think living in a non "western democracy" allows you to shit talk your boss or the government... I invite you to try.

I hope this won't be banned for wishing death on someone.

More like: I am so happy I live in america.

Everywhere else you have job protection and renters protection

Imagine being unironically anti-democracy and also claiming to be a socialist.

A lot of these comments reek of boot polish...

You live in USA, stop comparing your shit democracy with the rest of us

Yeah totally should do that in an autocratic country, lets go with Russia and lets see how long it would take before the original poster is on their way to a Siberian gulag

I like the 1 comma in that whole paragraph...

What disgusts me most about conservative voters and capitalists is most of them are so ignorant to admit that capitalism requires balance by virtue. You cannot exist in an environment where everyone is free to have money and buy things with that money and there will always ben enough supply for demand without serious guardrails to ensure it. What MAGA stands for is the idea that capitalism should be highly regulated, highly balanced, and highly fair. These people believe that to their core. They just… don’t vote that way. They’re so arrogant, so propagandized, they’ll continue to vote for the people that wish to continue destabilizing the balance.

coercive relationships are the root of evil

That’s the least this person deserves for that crime against readability.

Remember the sacred texts:

You all are making me work too hard, so I'm locking this dumpster fire and drinking my coffee.

Hmm, I've done all of these things and haven't suffered the consequences you describe. Yes, in the US.
