That’s the idea behind mutuals and mutual insurance. It’s an older idea than you may imagine

This reads like AI content on an astroturfed site… Which is to say I, at least, am not finding it compelling.

Ok, TIL. Ew. Will definitely keep that in mind

Sorry about sourcing

Why? What’s wrong with Politico? They’re better than most

I hate that I’m on the same side as this chuckle fuck on literally anything but also I’m glad he’s saying it, even if I think he’s just acting on Russia’s behalf to destabilize the union

Being in an echo chamber is bad. Utilizing RT, Breitbart, OAN, or Truth Social does not improve the situation, though, and probably makes you even less informed due to disinformation than the echo chamber. If your diet is impoverished, eating more twinkies will not improve your health.

Lol, why all of this Russian state media garbage being posted lately? RT is bullshit 😂

Anybody have an archived link or some other way to get past the paywall?

EDIT: archived link

Lol, just as there is no version of reality where Trump is a good guy, there’s no reality where Putin is a good guy

Just to show either how transparent you are or how much of a fool you are, let me duckduckgo “concern troll” for you.

Again, [EDIT: kindly shove off]. You’re either one of those tools who wants to both sides [EDIT: freakin’] fascism or you’re a genuine paid opposition troll. Either way I don’t have any more time for you.

They’re literally doing that right now, though

Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say “hallmark”? Hope that doesn’t cause you to stumble. “Stumble” means to trip while walking; in this case it’s a metaphor for thinking.

Hope that was clear enough for you.

Nice strawman argument

Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don’t know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.

So nice self-contradiction I guess?

Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn’t a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions

Respecting democratic norms is very important. That said, I don’t know that citing US imperialist clout is the best way to get the so-called American “left” behind the incumbent administration if said voter were already looking elsewhere or not planning to vote

Is there any indication that this desperate ploy to reframe any criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza or recognition of innocent Palestinians’ basic humanity and rights as purely foreign propaganda is working at all? It’s absolutely craven
