    Joseph Stiglitz is an American economist, not a dictatorship, and he’s advocating for better capitalism.

      I wasn’t calling Joseph Stiglitz a dictatorship, I was calling Russia and China dictatorships and they often use the same words to different ends. The fact that this is crossposted to Hexbear and lemmy ML isn’t doing the post any favors, either, those places are flowing with pro-CCP propoganda.

      As much as this can be a productive conversation analyzing the faults of the system we live in to reform and fix it, it can also be used as justification for voting against our interests, violence, and subterfuge. It’s unfortunate, but that is our context.

        This is not an article about communism or socialism or dictatorships or any of the other things you’re talking about.

        kill enough people, eventually you’ll get a genuine piece of shit who deserved to die.

        similarly, if you talk enough shit (and they do), you’ll eventually be right. kind of like a stopped clock, you know? shitty people can be right about things, and that doesn’t make them any less shitty. arguably doesn’t even make them right.
