    Houthis: “Now that’ll show them”, followed with a big self-righteous nod.

    Or to go back a little further:

    But you get to the place
    Where the real slave-drivers live
    It's walled off by the riot squad aiming guns right at your head
    So you turn right around
    And play right into their hands
    And set your own neighborhood
    Burning to the ground instead
          - Dead Kennedys

    Surprised this thread isn’t full of the Houthi supporters yet. Sure are plenty of them around here.

    I find it comforting to know that capitalism puts us in a position where a single sunken cargo ship can cause an ecological disaster and contaminate the water supply of millions.

    It’s not like ships would ever sink or be the target of an attack.

      Tbh how is capitalism to blame in this one?

      Socialism would still need to transfer fertilizer and other hazardous materials somewhere
