Appropriately? 500 million € seems a bit low.

Yeah, no need to censor the word “asshole”.

Goddamn it, I thought this was The Onion.

I don’t think there are any ICE agents on Lemmy, nor do I think they’re the kind of people who think about consequences.

Better yet, abolish nation-states altogether and have small, peaceful, cooperative, ruler-less communities instead.

Don’t forget the tax writeoffs!

Even Hitler in that photo doesn’t look nearly as sinister as Trump in his new portrait.

Yeah… about that…

Trump would bring back slavery if he could. He doesn’t give a shit about immigrants, only profit. He only hires immigrants because he can pay them less.

Oh, he did that thing that he said he was going to do months ago? If only there were preventative measures taken, not that this administration cares about the justice system.

What do you mean “get here”? He hates immigrants.

Follow the money. It’s almost a universal truth that there is no war but class war.

I mean, it really started with the founding of the country, leaving wealthy people in control of everything by having capitalism be the system of economics, but a more recent date can be 1973, when the Heritage Foundation was founded.

I mean, .reg files are pretty idiot-proof, but can also contain something malicious if you don’t read them.

And Apple, with people replacing traditional computers with Android and iOS devices.

I might start eating Doritos with a fork and knife just to be extra “civilized”.

Maybe Trump thought she was Hannibal Lector.

It is theorized by anthropologists that for most of humanity’s existence (almost 200,000 years), humans operated on gift economies, without keeping any ledgers or IOUs, and also not bartering.

Humanity mostly beat out (kind of, not really, humans mated/bred with neanderthals) neanderthals as a species in evolution because humans cooperated with each other, whereas neanderthals were more individualistic (also not a universal truth).

Greed and profit seeking are a direct result of forming massive civilizations with defined leaders and the possibility to gain power over other people. There are ideas for new economic systems that will eliminate this hierarchal structure, namely anarchism and some other socialist idiologies like forcing all corporations to be worker-owned coops (not all of them).

Here’s a playlist that’s a good introduction to anarchism: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8V0LbSKRwxqBt2Odrl_Yp_SlEVrv-w9G

And here is an intro to a worker coop focused economic system and modern Marxism (the non-authoritarian type): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Whccunka4

Capitalism was the system of economics from the get go. This allows people who want power (money) to be able to obtain it ad infinitum, which leads to corruption being possible since politicians can be bought.

Only when it’s a Republican president.
