The right wing party in Australia (a few elections ago) increased retirement age but with a "rolling date". Meaning they all get to retire on time with the earlier date but the later you were born the later your retirement age. They literally set their retirement age in stone then fucked younger generations on their way out. It's still currently rolling out, recently increased to 67 in 2023.

(In more ways than one bit this one is particularly obvious and idk how they got away with it).

Weren't they going to build a 5-mile wide boat that looked like a turtle. Where's that, I'm fighting for that.

Such an old and simple antibiotic

First that shit is not something you can pop like candy, your teeth can and will fall off if you use it as a "basic" antibiotics (which you shouldn't be using as anyways without a pressing need? These things are nuclear bombs in your system, you might experience organ failure just from one pill excessive use)

Second the Chinese quality pills usage have been leading all of us to an antibiotic resistance catastrophe

Fun times when this things will be needed and they won't even work anymore thanks to overuse

Hmm but what if I want to make thousands of people work for me without giving any excess value created by their labour to anyone else?

All these pictures are from capitalist countries

No, honey, we have European Cities at home

What City is this?

Truly Managed Democracy is a mellifluous clarion, ringing throughout the galaxy

In general, I think it comes down to the fact that they all just look low effort. They’re formulaic, which to someone who puts out passionate art, it’s kind of just insulting.

And as much as I hate to say it, that’s all preference. I don’t personally think they’re “wrong” or “not art”. Just not very well done or original.

I'm not into anime but I definitely think Funko pops are hideous and not cute at all

My main problem is that they are all driven by fomo, they are ugly as sin, they are not handed over to the next generation, people don't even inpack them. All they are is future landfill.

I like to rag on funko pops AND anime poster/figure infested rooms...

But I have a keyboard problem. So I usually stay quiet.

There are many reasons to dislike the communist regimes in Eastern Europe, but these tenements are not it. Quite a lot of people prefer to buy these sorts of apartments over newer ones simply because they are built better. Keep in mind that those in these sorts of pictures haven't been properly maintained in years. They are 40-50 years old, it's normal for any building that has not been taken care of to look worn down - but if the owners of these apartments put in the effort to modernise their buildings, they are very comfortable. I live in one and it's great!

In Yugoslavia it was actually quite the opposite. Old commie blocks in Serbia all have big green spaces around them and playgrounds, while new buildings are all built on top of each other with no room to breathe and no greenery in sight.

Road of Bones:

Bro this could be literally any large east-Asian city on an overcast day, most (all?) of which have better urban planning than the rest of the world by a large margin, and most of which fall firmly on the "capitalist" side of the spectrum. "Bloc" housing (or as we call them over here, big-ass apartment buildings) aren't some communist-exclusive phenomenon.

If only there were more than these two dreary instantiations of differing economic frameworks, but as alas, I know only of these two pictures.

Not sure about this picture, but generally Soviet blocs were built with lots of surrounding green space, all the amenities you’d need within walking distance, and the rest of the city connected by public transport. Way more human-friendly than the US suburban hellscape.

That can literally be the US with roads 2 miles wide

Neighborhoods like that are not quiet and you'll be driving everywhere because there's nothing other than more houses for miles.

Plus it's not saying that houses are bad, it's saying that single family homes in exclusively residential zones are bad.

Action figures are toys that people buy for their children to play with. Funko pops represent worthless plastic trash that people buy because of marketing brainwashing.

And "old man house"? oh ok I can see I that I've wasted my time.

Why would you go immediately to communism?
