Canada. Pure capitalism sucks. Socializing things that you can't place a value on (like human life) is the way to go. 2/2
But that's just not true. Capitalism combined with socialism is practiced in a LOT of successful western countries like Sweden and 1/?
My point of view is simply that a 100% free market doesn't work, especially when. It needs regulatory oversight or it fails.
Forever than listen to his twisted views on how it's okay to bully people because you don't like their genitals. 2/2
All that man does is bully people and pretend that makes him a "protector of freedom of speech". I'd rather stay at minimum wage 1/?
And my mom is the queen of England. 2/2
Jordan Peterson? That asshole is a prof at my university lmao, I don't need to watch or hear him anymore than I do. And 1% ahahahahah 1/?
Workers rights in the west are better precisely BECAUSE of the things I mentioned...
Industrial revolution, and democratic socialism never rose to counter the growing threat of "free market" greed, right? 2/2
"Capitalism will actually work more than bitching"... yes... that's why the west has always had perfect workers rights since the 1/?
Of using buzzwords masquerading as insight. 3/3
