Turns out if you're a rich country and don't spend trillions on war and financing terrorists, you can achieve great stuff for yourself and the whole world, but who will think about the poor MIC executives? They have families to feed you know.

Everybody to the left of biden is considered a tankie nowdays, and I'm proud of being to the left of (and opposed to) genocide enablers.
The "economy" in question:
Meanwhile salaries are stagnant π
Nuclear is actually the solution, trap every billionaire in a nuclear waste barrel and bury them in a cave 1km deep forever

That's not what I said at all. Read again. It was still unrelated to the community.
I say it's related, you say it's unrelated, no point arguing.
Yes, I'm am very certain you're very not mad
Did you read the comments (both mine and of others?) we are just chatting, no salt down here. You think I'm salty, I think I'm not.
My post won't be reinstated, but we had a cheap laugh at the expense of your mod and had some sane discussions between ourselves, as far as I'm concerned this is a net win for me. You'll think we are all just a bunch of salty lunatics and that's your opinion.
There's no point arguing when both sides have unreconcilable viewpoints, our conversation ends here. Disengage.
Same thing here, publishers use the same blanket pricing for all the EU although the average wage in Italy is half the average wage in Germany or in France, when piracy was rampant a decade and a half ago we had most games (at least the AAA ones) fully dubbed and localized, low prices and everything. Now we have the same β¬60 price that Germany has although due to an average wage of around 25k vs 50k you're effectively paying an AAA game 120β¬
plus 90% of the games don't get dubbed and like 30% aren't even subtitled (speaking of big games, not games from indipendent publishers who may not afford to do so)
I, for one, only buy good games (and in these times the good games are usually from indipendent/small devs) expecially when they have tons of mods (modding a pirated game is tedious) everything else? π΄ββ οΈ
Also I believe it is a moral duty to pirate textbooks, research papers, courses and news articles. Knowledge should be free π
What a time to be alive when even the half-neolib half-neofascist lapdog of the US empire manages to be more reasonable than the "necessary evil" that could have been "pushed left" (lmao)
I would argue a peace talk is just common sense at this point - and two thirds of the world agree - but obviously the US needs its forever wars.
iPad kids are a product of capitalism; ergo we should hate capitalism (shock revelation)
Normalize using pirated proprietary software for professional workπ
Which clown comrade? Did the mods already nuke it? If so good job.
Also wish Ukraine became communist again π’ it's so sad seeing the poverty of post-socialist countries
This isnt as expansive of a post as the last one, just wanted to showcase a cool coin, as is tradition, I own one but I'm on vacation right now (returning today!) and, also as is tradition, the reverse is more interesting than the obverse. As is common with coins from this age.

Also a Ukrainian communist i know confirmed it's true
As for the previous post, I own a couple, but I'm on vacation right now, so have some stock photos from numista.
This coin is very interesting because in some sense it isn't just an Italian coin, it's a French coin, a Russian coin, a Spanish coin, a Dutch coin, a Greek coin and much more.
What am I talking about? Well, I'm talking about the Latin monetary union, a monetary standard in use between 1865 and 1927 (but that de facto died during world war 1) and that entailed that:
Every coin from every member state could circulate freely with no tariffs (ex: you could buy something that had a cost of 5 lire paying with 5 francs)
Every coin of the "5" denomination should contain 25 grams of .900 silver, or 1.61 grams of .900 gold
Every coin, from the 0,20 to the 200 denomination had it's precise amount of gold or silver it should contain, to be legal in the union. This is a map of the countries that took part in the pact.

And this is the front of the coin, courtesy of numista.
The 5 lire coin from Vittorio Emanuele II is my, and many Italian's favorite way of stacking silver, since the premiums aren't quite high, a coin in F/VF, when not a key date, costs about 25/30 euros.
Edit: for more info about the Latin monetary union, here's the Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Monetary_Union
Edit2(this is becoming reddit): if you live in a country on that map, it's rare but not impossible your grand grand fathers have some coins from some other countries on that map, Ive heard of a story of a man in Italy who found a 5 francs coin in his grandfather's drawer, after learning about the Latin monetary union it all becomes clear, those coins circulated freely. You could buy a meal with 2 Lire or with 2 francs, you could buy a hat with 5 Drachmas or with 5 Rubles.
and so it's Uncommon but not impossible to find some coins from foreign Latin countries of that period in old houses.
A favorite of mine, I own one but unfortunately I'm on vacation and don't have any pictures, so have a stock photo from numista.
It's a copper Commemorative coin weighting about 5 grams, with a diameter of 25mm, a face value of 0.05 Italian Lire.
A 1908 specimen in VF costs about 40 euros, when bought with warranty from a coin shop and directly in Italy.
