that’s also likely a good defense against stagflation, which the USD (and probably the EUR) are likely to see soon

Money can exist without states - but likewise, most states existed without money, at least internally. Graebers Debt is all about this.

Where is the capital flying to?

Now do stockholders and stock options

Yeah - now, the downsides of this are well covered, especially by Corey Doctrow, in that once the users are locked into the platform, Amazon decreases the actual benefits - and then starts chisling the sellers as well.

But to fix that, you do need to do something besides just scold the customers.

And most Amazon customers have prime, meaning they’ve prepaid shipping already.

It’s not just books. Amazon offers many more goods, and locks people in with Prime.

I don’t like it, but just claiming it as a sign of virtue won’t change that.

It’s generally not the search, it’s the payment and shipping

Can’t even get a geometry joke. Pathetic.

funny, your mom thinks I’m acute

So, as suspected, “tankie” means any communist you didn’t make up.

Thanks for showing your opinion is meaningless.

You’re still failing to name any.

Uh huh. So, again, which actual communists are not tankies?

Yeah, and that’s why this is nonsense. “All things are only good or bad, and anything that is bad and communist is tankie. And, funny enough, I don’t seem to mind bad when it’s not communist”

It’s not whataboutism when people are making false equivalencies.

What is “unapologetic”? Like pointing out that the US is constantly is launching wars of aggression, while China hasn’t been in a war since the 70s?

There’s a big false equivalence that liberals want to make between the US and other large powers, that if ores the scope and frequency of US lawlessness.

OK chief, let’s try it easier. What actual communists that have existed are not tankies, according to you?

Because my library socialist/ Titoist ass is called one constantly for saying such radical things as “the US shouldn’t be excused for their constant war crimes”.

no, I was referring to who you were responding to

It’s just coincidence that it’s used against all communists then?
