America isn’t a democracy. It’s a Republic. Try again with Europe or other democratic nations.

:chefs-kiss: a bonafide classic, the yankee liberal's ultimate retreat-and-defend move

Albert Einstein agreed and he seemed like a pretty smart dude:

Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

slam dunking on your own team's basket like

parentis_shotgun is such a great username

It's so funny seeing goat post the most based shit I've ever seen as some sort of gotcha

if they want they can fork lemmy and do their own thing. heck who tf cares if lemmy has a communist dev, you can selfhost it ffs. no one fucking cares.

The server returned this error: couldnt_find_post.

Fucking loser deleted the post. Moron probably realized how stupid this shit is, maybe I really should make an account on lemmy.ml or something so I can bully them (or they stop being a coward and make an account in an instance that doesn't defed lemmygrad would also work )

(also yes I checked, they deleted it, not SJW admins):

Edit: they found this post lmao

So they dug through literal years of posts and comments to find something to shit on?

mods mods mods developer set off independant thought alarm! defederate, fork, do something!

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett "Capitalism is democratic in a sense of one man = one vote. The boss is that one man"

include me in the screenshot goat, you whiny lifeless fuck

the comments on that community are pure

Capitalism is fully democratic for the bourgeoisie. Liberal democracy was conceived as a means of self-rule for the emerging bourgeois class. It’s a mechanism for resolving intra-class conflict. In the US, the inclusion of proletarians, POC, and non-men are completely incidental results of class war, allowing political mechanisms to take a hit in lieu of economic mechanisms.

It would be unironically funny if goat eventually converts into a "tankie" after having to dig through years of GenZhou archival material.

1 capital = 1 vote, the most democratic political system

It rules so much that the Lemmy creator is a comrade. His essays on GitHub helped radicalize me six years ago. Brilliant man.

@goat@sh.itjust.works I think you should come talk to us, you have been at this for a while. Make a lemm.ee alt and post a thread here. This is getting silly.

we should just have a bot that screenshots every goat post and posts it here with titles like "lmao" and "cope" and "this is epic" and also tags him.
