Yes, but people acting for their own livelihoods don't follow the same patterns as people acting to maximize wealth. This is a systemic problem, not (or at least not necessarily) a human nature problem.
That's because Starbucks is a corporation; they only care about making their number go up. People don't really behave like that.
Aren't those mostly a Russian thing?
I mean it's been a year, Project 2025 is half complete and America is closer to a fascist dictatorship than ever before. There are two realistic conclusions from here on out: Either Trump keeps his hold on power through the midterms (either by winning or launching a coup, probably the latter)—in which case it's game over—or the Dems win a Congressional majority, in which case protests will have amounted to exactly nothing. There's no universe in which Trump sees people holding signs on weekends and is like "oh I'm sorry for trying to become a fascist dictator." You can't appeal to slow progress either, because the GOP isn't going to wait for you to slowly progress yourself out of fascism. What do you envision as the result of protests "working?" How would that look like?
It's not clear. There are two IS groups in Nigeria, Boko Haram and IS-West Africa Province. The former are the murderous rapist scum, the latter still scummy but the more respectable of the two. Either way it doesn't matter because imperialism is bad, but the memo doesn't specify which one he's talking about.
Counterpoints: It is, in the present tense, not working.
I'm sorry for your loss.
They're both the billionaire party; one is the KKK billionaire party while the other is the rainbow billionaire party.
There are plenty of leftist populists elected in South America, yet those countries stay poor and crime-ridden.
Not exactly South America, but Mexico disagrees. Bolivia too. Leftist populists aren't miracle workers, but they do have a pretty good track record.
Not even a mammal.
