If I live in 90% of the US, something like $150k would buy me a very comfortable life. If I was in the major cities, I would say $300k would be enough for me to not worry about finances.
Fairly simple, I’m not retarded. Being a Marxist in the 21st century is an actual embarrassment. You probably either hide your disgusting views in public, or most likely, you don’t even leave your house to understand what reality is like.
Lol you’re so retarded you unironically believe that a failed murderous ideology that has led to nothing but poverty, famine, tyranny, violence, and eventually collapse is going to totally work this time despite the mountains of evidence that it is a failure in both theory and practice. The history books are crystal clear about. You can use all the whataboutism fallacies with capitalism and no true fallacies about how it wasn’t REAL Marxism on every single attempt in history, you’re not fooling anyone. The current systems are flawed, but a parasitic ideology that’s just as bad, if not worse, than fascism is not and will never be an acceptable solution. There’s a reason why brainless morons cower together in some no name echo chamber like this and larp about revolutionaries. You’ll never see the light of day.
No, Americans are just as prone as the other anglo countries, there’s just more of them. If we start delving into other languages, then things immediately go downhill. For example, I speak Arabic and I would say that at least 80% believe in at least 1 batshit crazy conspiracy theory. Why? It’s because the vast majority of Arabs consume their information from Facebook and a good chunk of that information comes from state owned propaganda outlets. Just a 2 minute scroll on my father’s Facebook, I saw the following conspiracies:
Israel is created by the kufar to sin against allah
India is on the brink of becoming majority muslim
Incest, pedophilia, and zoophilia are common in the West because they don’t have islamic morals
Russia is fighting NATO and winning
Hamas is beating Israel so bad that Israel is on the brink of collapse

Bananas are ridiculously cheap even up here in Canada, and they aren’t grown anywhere near here. Yet a banana can grow, be harvested, be shipped, be stocked, and then be purchased by me for less than it’d cost to mail a letter across town. (Well, if I could buy a single banana maybe…or maybe that’s not the best...
Dumb take, the housing prices isn’t caused by the free market, it’s caused by the lack of it. There’s a huge demand for new houses in this country, but developers literally cannot build them because of our shitty zoning and some of our brain dead regulations.
What salary do you think would make you happy?
Piers Morgan gets owned (lemmy.world)
What do you think of sports analysts ?
Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?
It’s wild.
What are some food items that cost less than what they "should"?
