Not at all, Marxists are quite critical of Russia

That remains to be seen. Hasn’t happened yet. But perhaps some day?

Yes, that is exactly what you did. Repeating it does also make it funnier.

It is funny because tankie thought is literal positive reaction to anything Russia and China does. Your comment shows it is also pure projection.

Yeah, Americans love to fantasise about their beloved 2nd amendment (regardless of political persuasion), but they have never ever used it for what they (falsely) claim it was intended for.

It definitely does not work in an environment where lazy aggressive apatheists will support a system they don’t like by claiming it can’t be changed.

If everyone stopped tipping tomorrow, the only people that would be hurting are the people who serve.

Who would then not want to work in those places that depends entirely of tipping. And then it hurts the owners of those places.

How are you unable to realise this? It is all connected.

Unfortunately as this very thread shows, a lot of Americans are mindbogglingly not in agreement about that. Which explains a lot about the current predicament of the country.

How long do you think that wait staff will stay in the restaurants where their wage consists of tipping which doesn’t exist?

What if everyone didn’t expect you to tip? You vehemently defending the tipping system is part of why EVERYONE expects you to tip.

That kind of aggressive apatheism is what makes the system continue.

It works both ways. If noone tips then noone will work at restaurants where their wage consists solely of tipping. That is also how capitalism works.

Changing the goalposts I see.

There is an argument to be made about that. Not a very convincing one though.
