Love to see technocrats and landlords taken down several pegs
Lokk at the upvotes/downvotes. Reds are getting upvoted (and those are decent scores for that sub).
The “I want my neighbour goat to die” quotation is so fucking ironic since, firstly landlords do take money away from you, so limiting rent does give you a goat. And secondly that’s the exact state of the conservative-minded people have when they see people on welfare. They just want to see those people without a goat but they will never have it for themselves (thought the billionaires in the media telling them to think like that will indeed reap a benefit)
The real funny thing is that this was used as a quote or indirect reference by the Greek PM (without the obscenity) multiple times:
-
to excuse tax cuts for himself and his buddies
-
to excuse selling out public property to foreign companies
-
to excuse his weekly midweek holidays (he works in the office maybe 3 days of the week)
-
to excuse his weekly midweek excursions during covid lockdown
-
to excuse a major corruption scandal by one of his ministers who has received massive bribes from pharmaceutical companies to provide them with massive government contracts at inflated prices (nobody has quit or been prozecuted about this. The journalists and, investigators and public prosecutors who were going after it are now being prosecuted)
-
to excuse another bug scandal were the government used covid relief funds to bribe several media companies.

Got ourselves a fighter over here. 👀
/r/sino is still good, too
I like r/sino, but sometimes it feels some users are just roleplaying, and roleplaying too hard.
What I mean by the title, is that the sub isn’t meant to be a leftist sub, but the average user there knows that neoliberalism is a sick ideology. You don’t see much praising of capitalism, and when you do, it usually triggers discussion and critique.
I haven’t noticed the roleplaying, but I also don’t read many of the comments
