Do they ask you to claim you've used it? Then absolutely no.
If they are ok with you saying "this video is sponsored by" but never mentioning your personal endorsement then it can be acceptable. We all need to make a living somehow.

Some overlap? It's like 90%

So she didn't object to killing cows? The problem was the bell making noise? Ok, denial justified.

You also seem to have American thoughts in the background

Makes the problems of capitalism even worse. Instead of the owner class you get an even smaller political class controlling all means of production - the party leadership. It becomes even more prone to corruption than capitalism.

Adding to problems is the planned economy - it always results in misaligned incentives, bad allocation of resources, constant shortages...

Third, possibly the worst, is the constant insistence on ideological purity and severe punishment of "thought crimes". Or as they like to call it "counterrevolutionary activity".

Even though it was created out of good intentions, I don't believe a lot positive aspects can be salvaged.

If it wasn't for the culture wars, it would be another Oscar Pistorius situation. Not the murder, the prosthetics.

For those who don't know this guy was a runner whose legs were amputated, and he got replacement prosthetics that made him as good if not better than runners with natural legs. There was some debate if his disability actually gives him an advantage, if it should be allowed at all.

The best propaganda is to show the enemy as powerful and brave but misguided. That way your own victory seems more impressive.

They also have a trans railway in Siberia. Only trans people are allowed to use it.

Let's see what new and original ways he'll find to fuck up Bolivia.
Socialists had their run, and they did fuck it up majorly. But now it's time for new kind of mistakes.

everyone should. less people actually do care, but still many people care

why do they care? because they care about living their own life. if you spend your life making someone else well off, what's even the point of living
