  • he uses AI to homeschool. The same AI that is wrong 70% of the time and deludes facts more often than that? America, please for the love for your children, introduce MANDATORY schooling!!! So many dumb parents, often massively religious, who teach their children anything besides factbased science… I feel so sorry everytime I watch a video of a homeschooled kid who struggles to multiply 5 with 5.





  • I get your point, but capitalism wasn’t always the norm. If you say corps control everything, it’s partially due to a faulty political system and a lack of interest in politics. And for that apathy, the citizens can absolutely be blamed. And again, if there wasn’t a superficial culture in the US where you HAVE to wear brands and drive european cars to not be ousted, there wouldnt be as much consumption. If you treat school like a cat walk, prepare to pay for designer clothes. The parent in the original post blames Nike for marketing. Yes, but if the kids around their kid weren’t pointing and laughing, this kid would feel very confortable to continue to wear sketchers. Kids are a product of their environment, bring them up in a ultra-capitalist environment and all they care about growing up is money and status. And it starts in school already. Group thinking is hugely problematic and not even thematized yet. This ousting because your parents can’t afford G-Star Raw is the only reason I would advocate for school uniforms. Something has to change but just pointing and assigning blame isn’t helping anyone and especially not the kid crying.


  • dont blame nike, blame the over-consumption introduced by unchecked capitalism. Comparing yourself to your surround has become the norm, leading to an increase in depression and, like you wrote, consuming too much. Americans on average buy 68 new clothing items PER YEAR, PER PERSON!! Maybe dont blame the kids, they are a product of their surrounding. Blame politics, and blame yourself if you have done too little politics in the last decades










  • he lost to Merkel twice, lost to Armin fuckin Laschet, lost to Scholz and was now only voted for because the alternative is even more radical conservative. We voted the lesser evil, not who is best suited for the job. He was Chairman of the Supervisory Board of BlackRock Germany, Commerzbank, Axa Versicherung, the DAX (german stock market), IVG (huge real estate group) and was chairman of many more lobbying groups and corporations. He is as corrupt as they come and has absolutely no interest in bettering the quality of life for the middle class and lower income families. He is working for billionaires, opposes immigration, hates change, calls for border checks in the Schengen-area, promotes heterosexual families, hates women (literally, he opposes a law that protects women from marital rape) and so much more. Like I wrote, give that party 5 years (especially CSU) and they will have the same demands as the AfD. After Isolation and border closing comes exit of the EU, exit of the Euro, Exit of NATO, until we are left alone and weakened enough to get pushed around again
