I came here to make this joke, but I would have gone with something like:
“He’s not that epic of a CEO 🙄”

Yeah, should be 0.(6).

That can’t be it, cause then that’s all 4/4 horsemen of 3/4 present.

Where did I say “government does stuff”? If a service is provided not for profit, funded by the community and is otherwise not privately owned, it’s socialist. It needs to be for-profit and/or privately owned to be capitalist.

Arguably, The US does have several socialist policies, albeit implemented very badly. For instance, public education. Does capitalism stick its grubby fingers into it from every possible angle? Yes. But at its core it has collective funding through taxes (therefore owned/controlled by the state), universal access, and the prioritization of public welfare over profit (at least on paper). Those principles are strictly socialist and not capitalist.

It’s not about strictly “owning”, it’s about controlling. Control can be achieved in many different ways, including, but not limited to regulations. Socialism is an economic system, of which you can implements certain parts.
I didn’t say “social policies”. Socialist policies are a more specific subset of social policies, so all socialist policies are social policies, but not all social policies are socialist.
Regarding the European countries’ degree of being socialist, it of course depends on the country. But on average, you might be right, and perhaps using “equally” was an exaggeration.

Lots of people on Lemmy forget that the choice between Capitalism and Socialism isn’t binary. Country picks individual policies that are capitalist or socialist in nature. All of the modern countries are a combination of both. Even USA has certain socialist policies. Most of Europe is roughly equally capitalist and socialist.
It’s just making a character build and picking perks. Capitalist policies aren’t bad (for the general public) by default. Depending on how and which ones are implemented, they can be beneficial to everybody.

Excluding moves just because they are not very good goes completely against the spirit of this post.

In that case it’s quintuple fork, cause 2 pawns are threatened.

Are there actually people complaining that she’s ugly…? She literally looks like a model, just with some scars.

Biggus Dickus is next in line.

Cloudy, with a chance of bourgeoisie heads?

Idk, it’s usually much faster than busses.

Me: - Even Bernie?!
Garak: - Especially Bernie.

But are you Kenough?

Really? Somehow it appears unchanged on my end. And the last edit is before my comment. Lemmy bug?

I think it makes more sense to use the 🤏 emoji in that context, rather than the Italian gesture.
