Try thinking on longer timescales. Even if you're resigned to the fact things aren't going to get better in your lifetime, it might bring you some comfort to know that possibilities remain for a brighter future. Even if all of civilization collapses and humanity is reduced to a few survivors struggling in a few isolated regions, that can grow into something beautiful. Acknowledging that also means acknowledging that what you do in the present might contribute to the survival of a group of people, a way of life, a wealth of knowledge, or anything that is important to you.
You know vaccines work by stimulating your immune system, right? If you actually take the time and effort to try and understand something, you don't have to trust the government fully to come to the conclusion that the vaccine is safe.
It's just too bad you all facilitate the weak to reproduce. There's a lot of blood on your hands.
Are you suggesting we're all bad people for not engaging in eugenics?
Anti-Jewish sentiment was and is never justified, but anti-zionist sentiment certainly was and still is. I don't doubt that xenophobia played a role in this protest, but it is inappropriate to say that it was purely motivated by xenophobia.
The revolution was justified, the subsequent oppression was not. Both were done in the name of communism but the revolution failed to achieve it and the state never actually meant it.
I changed "freedom and liberty" to "democracy" in my comment above to make my point more clear. While democracy is a political system and not an economic one, it does require the previous system to die in order to be established.
The US invaded Iraq for the sake of "democracy," in their own words. Did "democracy" kill all those Iraqis, or did the US government?
Edit: changed "freedom and liberty" to "democracy" for better clarity and accuracy.
regardless, these states[emphasis mine] did engage in genocide against dissidents and minorities, which you cannot deny.
I don't deny it, I just disagree that those actions are attributable to the economic system. The economic system of communism is fine, it's the marxist conception of the intelligentsia seizing the state and establishing a "dictatorship of the proletariat" that leads to problems. The responsible party for genocide is the state that carried it out, not communism. If not in the name of communism, they would have done so in the name of some other belief system.
Are you seriously suggesting that all it should take to become rich is to do freelance work?
The way people actually get rich is by exploiting the labor of others. Freelance work is only practical in very specific niches, and even then you'll be forced to compete with conglomerates that have far greater resources.
It is inadequate.
*Half of what is left after the CEO and shareholders take their cut. Taxes are a drop in the ocean compared to the excess labor value that is extracted before you even see a penny.
making sure there aren't as much illegal immigrants.
We can do that by legalizing them.
Sovcits are almost certainly under studied, but if I took enough time I'm sure I could find some research showing that less educated people are more likely to fall for scams.
Be right back...
Edit: Here you go
More pictures available if needed. I broke a few open that were in rougher shape and they are solid white and spongy all the way through. Found in open woods in West Kentucky.
Thinking about frying these up and seeing how they taste but want a bit more assurance that I'm not taking a huge risk doing so. I couldn't find these in my National Audubon Society Field Guide so I'm a bit reluctant to take the chance.

The underside instantly darkens when scratched.
It's a very vibrant red underneath, I'm too curious not to try and narrow down the species.
More angles here:
I think it might be a green-spored parasol which is poisonous, but it's hard to tell at this stage. Was hoping it's something edible because there's lots of them and they're massive.
In many places in North America field garlic (which is very similar to green onions) grows voraciously in people's yards in the Spring. Leave a small patch of yard unmowed and you'll have more than you know what to do with. Just be careful not to mistake it for death camas.
