I genuinely don’t give a shit about your “opinions”.

You’re literally defending trillion dollar companies while implying they’re essentially socialists.

You say Walmart profit margin is at most 4% and directly connect “money supply grow by 8% a year” to it HEAVILY implying those should be the SAME value thus implying that Walmart is essentially giving to charity because the profit margins don’t equal the number that money supply gross annually.

It’s the same shit as measuring your leg and pretending it has something to do with IQ.

You’re so disingenuous that I don’t believe it’s on accident. I refuse to believe someone like you is actually that dumb and not just pretendin.

Why are you genuinely disregarding everything I say about your points? Feels like you’re being disingenuous.

You showcase that profits are 4%, but growth of money supply is 8%, and then heavily imply those can be directly compared, meaning that Walmart is actually losing money with 4% profits when they “should” have that number at the 8%, even when those figures don’t correlate at all.

It’s like saying that since my shoe size is 44 that my IQ must be X or Y. Shoe size has nothing to do with IQ, even if IQ was objective and good enough to be valuable.

Because that’s how economies of scale work; you say a bigger number happens in another process, which implies that 4% profits are actually 4% socialist.

#/S

Man, I really didn’t think you were going for the “Walmart is actually socialist” - bit, I thought it’s beyond exaggerated comedy for me to even suggest you’d be dumb enough to argue that… yet here we are. Lol.

You’re comparing two completely different things; profitability per dollar vs. absolute growth of business.

They’re not the only one to blame, no.

The system is propped up by everyone simultaneously. Especially when there’s people like you defending giant corporations like Walmart.

Also I’m not American

Oh no, not less than 4%, that makes it all alright, because economies of scale for a trillion-dollar company definitely don’t make 4% a figure anyone could even think about protesting against.

Nooo, Walmart is practically socialist, because the profit margins are single percentages. That’s definitely how this works.

Walmarts margins are ass,

It’s literally a trillion-dollar company.

Why do you deep-throat capitalism so?

He did write “the” correctly. He didn’t write “are” correctly.

You however wrote “how much of a cringe child your made yourself look like by writing it”.

Which is… sort of ironic.

Yeah they could’ve. And they groomed hundreds of others, obviously. Not to the same extent. But as long as you throw enough shit on the wall, something sticks. They got lucky with Trump, although it took a long time

But yeah, Russia is good at that shit

What did I just about the strawmen?

Trump is not a sleeper of any sort. Well except in the “napping grandpa” way.

Read the article, maybe?

#The “Kyiv Independent” published an explosive interview on February 26 that torched any lingering doubt about President Donald Trump’s deep ties to Russian intelligence.

Veteran journalist Craig Unger has tracked Trump’s relationships with Moscow for years He laid out evidence that Trump was carefully groomed as a Russian asset beginning in the 1980s. Less than a week after the bombshell report, Trump used his platform at the United Nations to dismiss Ukraine’s pleas and embrace Vladimir Putin’s narrative on Eastern Europe.

His statements cemented the idea that a decades-long foreign plot had successfully infiltrated the Oval Office, transforming the United States into a vessel for Moscow’s ambitions.

Many Americans once dismissed reports of Trump’s ties to Russian intelligence as wild conspiracy theories. Yet Unger’s findings, presented in his books “House of Trump, House of Putin” and “American Kompromat,” outline a consistent chain of events stretching back more than 40 years.

Soviet operatives, later replaced by Russian oligarchs, funneled suspicious cash into Trump’s real estate deals and played upon his narcissistic vanity. Over time, the strategy shaped Trump’s worldview to align seamlessly with the Kremlin’s long-term interests. Today, Russia reaps enormous gains as the White House methodically undermines Western unity, weakening NATO, and eroding confidence among America’s most vital allies.

The pattern was on full display during Trump’s U.N. address, where he castigated Ukraine for “bringing its troubles on itself” and chided Europe for failing to “handle its own backyard.”

In those remarks, he reversed decades of bipartisan consensus that the United States should confront unprovoked aggression in Europe. Instead of backing a nation under siege, Trump effectively blamed Kyiv’s government for the devastation wrought by Russian firepower.

Putin’s state media wasted no time broadcasting those segments, painting the U.S. president as an enlightened leader who recognizes the Kremlin’s alleged right to expand its sphere of influence.

Unger’s new revelations sent shockwaves through Washington circles. Once portrayed by supporters as a patriotic firebrand, Trump now looks more like a Trojan horse carefully cultivated by Russian intelligence. The journalist’s interview with the Kyiv Independent highlighted key phases of infiltration: financial bailouts for Trump when U.S. banks shunned him, orchestrated praise from Russian figures, and direct contact with individuals linked to the KGB’s successor services.

The result, Unger insisted, was a president whose foreign policy systematically furthers Moscow’s objectives — even if he never receives direct orders. In intelligence parlance, that is the very definition of an “asset.”

Strawmen.

“Uh you’re saying Russia has completely controlled the US for several decades.”

No I didn’t lol, learn 2 read a bit.

Challenge the facts instead pushing your childish whatabout strawmen.

“Your problems”

Roflmao illiterate bro. Too illiterate. I’m not American in the slightest. I could drive to St Petersburg in a matter of hours.

Challenge the facts.

A Russian asset: Trump’s policy behavior confirms evidence he was groomed by the Kremlin since the 1980s

Found the guy who bought into the propaganda.

The evidence is all right there. Do you think Putin is the leader of Russia because of honest elections and he’s just the best candidate and Russian democracy works?

Cmon man. Russians have bought celebrities from the US for longer than either of us has been alive. There’s a reason the most chess GM’s come from Russia. They play the long game.

They’re terrifyingly good at spycraft.

Sure yeah I. Don’t disagree too much with anything you’ve said there.

I just think Trumps skills at war is less than Putin’s skill at spycraft.

Culmination? Nah. Just a step in a game.

But yeah, Trump is very clearly a Russian shill. Where have you been living for the past 10 years?

It’s so obvious that anyone actually arguing Trump isn’t a Russian shill is almost definitely a Russian shill themselves.

Huh. I haven’t seen Enemy at the Gates in a long time, guess I should rewatch.

But yeah I post that pic pretty frequently on Lemmy weird you haven’t seen it before but I guess Fediverse is wider than I think.

They don’t know if the US is lying or not because trust in the US is at an all time low.

Yup.

I wonder why.

Oh right because the US commander-in-queef is a Russian shill because Russia managed to influence the US enough to make the whole country cognitively challenged through environmental lead (more of an accident than anything purposefully neurotoxic but anyway) and the destruction of the US education system.
