    There is no such thing as a representive democracy in capitalism. Power is not spread equally amungst each voter, your power is based off how much wealth you have. The rich class own corporate media and can shape peoples views and opinions to be comfortable with their rule. Political parties are completely reliant on funding from the rich to drive there campaigns, elected candiates are always approved by the rich class.

    The market does not represent the interests of the people. Capitalism results in unregulated monopolies or price fixing that cause companies to extract significantly more wealth from people than what is reasonable.




  • I recently decided I was going to do a bunch of research on the titanic, which then transformed into searching up how icebergs work and were they came from. I thought icebergs just get summoned in the north pole and the titanic was inside of the arctic circle. Turns out icebergs always come from glaciers, guys aren’t glaciers like so cool they are like rivers but they are frozen and absolutely massive like some of them are kilometers long, some of them are really spiky and some of them are really flat. I love going into google earth and finding glaciers. look at this one in alaska, or this amazing view of a glacier in swizterland woah look at how it is strangly bumpy but this part is really flat Ok back to icebergs I didn’t believe that over 90% of icebergs could be underwater because they look so big, how could there be so much mass underwater? I tested it out with an ice cube and it definitely makes sense, in fact it might even be more than 90%. Did you know that the biggest icebergs come from glaciers in Antarctica and they can be 10’s of km long and 100’s of km wide! that’s crazy! Also there is a place in canada off the coast of newfoundland (isn’t that a really weird name for a place btw) called iceberg ally basically where heaps of icebergs come down and you can just see them from the shore and sometimes they wash up. I think you can even get iceberg water in Newfoundland although I feel like that would be really salty, but maybe not I’m not an iceberg expert. Also the titanic sunk near Newfoundland in iceberg ally.
