    And you sound like someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly about people and you can’t comprehend someone not having a reductionist take on generalised human suffering.

    I don’t think anyone here is denying people suffer from capitalism, i think they’re just saying capitalism is a factor rather than the only cause, similar to how the Archduke’s assassination was a factor among many in starting WW1.











  • “better detailed” doesn’t necessarily mean “better art” …

    Art being fidel to reality is it’s own subset of art movement, called realism. Many people appreciate it as “wow this is so close to real life/so much effort”, but then if you ask people what they think the greatest artworks are they might bring any artist. Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Dalí, Picasso, Pollock, etc.

    So no, just because something is closer to real life does not make it “objectively the best art” in the broader sense of art. Maybe you can measure that when pit against other realism pieces, which sre not as faithful to real life.





  • That is the “legal, but with regulations, make it not bother anyone else” part.

    Illegal simply means that if you have/consume said substance, there would be legal consequences (fines, imprisonment).

    These restrictions and rules of use don’t make the drug itself illegal, they just make it illegal to use in certain scenarios.

    I mean, people can simultaneously realise the gravity of this, AND poke fun at the coincidence thst the Pope died after meeting JD Vance.

    You aren’t contributing much either by making an entire comment criticising those people. Why not ignore and move on and make an useful comment?

    It’s also okay to not have something important or ground-breaking to say. I don’t think people saying JD killing him are ruining the internet.




  • So he saw these people were transported like cattle, dehydrated and mistreated, and instead of letting them get off the planes, he’s sent them back in those same planes so he can retrieve them with normal planes?

    Unless I am missing something, I feel like you’d want those people to not fly in a plane like that again.

    Either the plane didn’t take off in the first place, case in which rejecting it would make sense.

    Or those planes landed in Colombia, then sent back so they can be brought in proper planes, extending the suffering for no reason.
