      Honest smiles. I’m sure exceptions are sure to exist, but for the majority. When I’ve even been adjacent to them, they’re pretty awesome. I don’t care if it’s a wedding between two wonderful ladies or my dad getting a Russian WW2 M1891. There’s that grin, half not believing, half awe, and half pure childish glee that really can’t be beat. I stand for everyone getting that at some time.

      It’s gonna suck most of the time, and some people are gonna need a hand to get there, but damn, it’s worth it.

        Very cool.

        Very cool.

        And you can convince a few dozen Ph.Ds to give your kid a university education in exchange for honest smiles considering they have mouths to feed?

          If you truly believe that systemic critique is based merely on what is legally permissable and not based on systemic pressures and forces, then you need to do some reading.

            I know people who work for employee owned companies right now and they are making a metric shit ton of money.

            What most of the Tankies on Lemmy seem to want is to recreate the Soviets where the Government makes the decisions. That has never been anything but the easiest way to set up a dictatorship.
