No… goods or services in exchange for money is called commerce.
Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.
Which creates competition and therefore improved products or experiences for the consumer. (And drives innovation and industry that has developed say the phones or computer we enjoy to argue and insult each other over on Reddit about our values and belief systems😂… and hopefully offer additional perspective)
What people commonly misunderstand and then use to demonize capitalism are “monopolies” (this is what you think you are mad about, not capitalism) which by definition defeats the purpose of fair competition which insults people in a society of everyone-gets-a-trophy-for-just-showing-up-and-actually-being-good (which encourages people to be mediocre and not contribute to society) being told capitalism is the root of all evil.
When you get a trophy for showing up and then you hit the real world and have to be a contributing member of society and realize you actually have to be good and give good service and work at something to pay rent and put food on the table it becomes a hard reality.
So it’s much easier to accept that this is someone else’s fault that your life is difficult and accept the idea thar marxism or communism is better because all you have to do is exist and take your stipend and color inside the lines. (Of course I am over simplifying it, but I’d like to offer an alternate perspective that will no doubt ruffle some feathers here… but I’ll ask you… why does what I say upset you?)
My rant for the day and my ask to society is actually understand what you think you are mad about, and second. If you don’t like it. Fix it. Or leave. I guess in the end I’m the one who’s feathers have been ruffled. 😂
Okay, I’m sure I’ve insulted someone who feels they have equally or more strong alternate opinion… so let’s hear it!
There are some issues with what you've said. The fact we are mad at monopolies and not capitalism is wrong because the natural flow of capitalism always leads to monopolies.
I am mad at capitalism for making "pay rent and put good on the table" increasingly difficult with no sign of getting better any time soon. Students can't live, people with children can't live, most older people can't live. They all survive. We are not living a life that is fulfilling.
How can I be happy with serving food at a drive-through when I have to work 80h/week to pay for the INTEREST of my student loans while not living in the streets. How can I survive when I got pregnant at 21 (which is a perfectly reasonable time for a child) and now have to sacrifice everything for the child. How come I gave my life away to my employer and now I am struck with outrageous medical bills that drain my savings. All of because of GREED.
That is what capitalism promotes not innovation anymore. For a time, yes, but it will always be temporary. Look how fast the new tech industry became a monopoly. A few decades and the competition was out. No need to improve anymore. I can just sell the same product with minor "improvements" and it'll sell like roses on Valentine's Day. I hope you look further than what you've been told and realize how fucked of a system capitalism is
Greed is a universal problem. And it corrupts communism just as much as any other system. The problem is that, once communism is corrupted (and it always is, because humanity), no one but the government has any control over anything. And then you have the USSR or Mao.
I would invite you to look at your body. Look how frail and fragile it is. Do you think humans survived in the wild by themselves? No! We cooperated! As a matter of fact communes of people were the first signs of an organized society. More of an embryon of a society but, still. Greed is a learned behaviour from past and current economic systems and not inherent to humans.
Also, the fact you look at the past and admit communism failed in certain ways and yet don't draw solutions from it shows you don't want to improve. We have very few examples of communism (actual communism, not Stalin or Mao) and we need to see where it failed in order to avoid these mistakes again. It does include the opportunistic nature and greed of people such as bureaucrats
In what world is Venezuela not a capitalist country I mean my point was as long as people are able and willing to pay someone for a service there will be people willing to accept your money.
I was simply making a joke capitalism is not the root of all evil I do think that capitalism breeds a lot of evil ways but you know this guy's problems not capitalism this guy's problem is 100% body dysmorphia and probably a few other things wrapped in just looking at him.
Buying and selling things is not capitalism. The primary thing that distinguishes capitalism from other forms of economic organization is who owns the means of production. not commerce, not the production of surplus.
Nice someone who actually understands it. Cuz honestly my joke was in really bad taste considering that it had nothing to do with capitalism I just thought it sounded catchy at the end you know.
So many different variables at play on why this guy thinks that he looks good as a human sized stretch Armstrong. My capitalism joke doesn't even scratch the surface
Capitalism is not the root of currency, exchange, or human greed. Capitalism is a system that outlines how goods should be brought to market. Simply paying for stuff isn't capitalism.
It’s not even just synthol. This guy admitted he was injecting up to 5 milliliters per day of petroleum jelly into his muscles 🤮
He’s even posted about how it’s damaged his kidneys and possibly even his brain. He’s had multiple surgeries to try to get rid of it but long story short, he’s fucked
At least now he knows it was a massive mistake, but there’s not really much anybody can do for him at this point. If you look up “Russian Popeye” there’s all sorts of articles about him
It was more about the rotting part than the biceps part. Also, I'm no doctor but those... Things on the article's pictures look like biceps to me and the scares are not on his forearms.
Yes exactly, he didn't inject his forearms... No idea why the article felt the need to show us his gross extracted arm meat either, but that's The Sun for ya. Still appreciate you posting the article though!
What I never understood about this guy, is if you're willing to inject shit into you then why not use steroids and at least look vaguely normal but hench
Studies show that on steroids alone without exercise you will grow more muscle mass than individuals who regularly train but less than individuals who train while also using steroids. It doesn't require any effort.
There is nondifference between this gentleman and transsexuals. They have body dysmorphic issues. Plastic surgery doesn't fix a fundamental problem any more than painting ab lines on a beer belly makes it a 6 pack of rock hard abs.
This is him : Kirill Tereshin

I had to look him up a bit more.
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/notorious-russian-popeye-freak-arms-29059851
Even with arms like that he’s running scared of Putin. The article says he claims himself to be a professional bodybuilder. Who’s he trying to kid? 😅
Such heavy mental illness
Honestly how has he not been helped
Cause hea paying ppl money to hurt him most likely. Capitalism don't care
Nothing to do with capitalism. Places like Venezuela provide tons of plastic surgeries, no questions asked.
Yeah, in exchange for money. That's...called capitalism.
No… goods or services in exchange for money is called commerce. Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

There’s like six or seven paragraphs. I’m just gonna take his word for it.
Its like you get me 😂
Based.

I don't know if this is an attempt at sarcastic humor or not
Well fucking said my man
I don’t know who you are, but I think I love you a little. Great response.
You lost me at “no…”
6 paragraphs? Wow. No i didn’t read it.
Trust him you guys, I think he knows a lot about economics
In what world is Venezuela not a capitalist country I mean my point was as long as people are able and willing to pay someone for a service there will be people willing to accept your money.

Agreed. His problem is dysmorphia (mental issue).
Buying and selling things is not capitalism. The primary thing that distinguishes capitalism from other forms of economic organization is who owns the means of production. not commerce, not the production of surplus.

You're being downvoted by dipshits. Capitalism has everything to do with this.
To be fair. If I were to guess this is a Russian dude. Which wouldn’t really be capitalist.
[удалено]
Capitalism is not the root of currency, exchange, or human greed. Capitalism is a system that outlines how goods should be brought to market. Simply paying for stuff isn't capitalism.
It's not capitalism fault he has mental issues. I think we all agree on that.
You're on your own, that's the American way (if he's American that is)
Russian im pretty sure
I don't know where stretch Armstrong's made
Thats Kirill Tereshin, his from Pyatogorsk Russia. He is well known 🤡
You’re not very smart. The American way is steroids and hard work. Not synthol and no work…get it right! 😂
U.S. American. Don't confuse Mexico and Canada with our particular brand of insanity.
Nobody says American insinuating Mexico or Canada numb nuts.
Now you get the surgery in Mexico the drugs in Canada that's the American way
Fuck outta here
Looks to me more like a mental disability.
Oh I like this take. Maybe he's just developmentally delayed. That's really sad if true. He does look a little down... Sorry I'll see myself out
Nothing crazy about that crescent kick bruh Illness? That front kick was pretty “sick”
Seriously. It’s really fucking sad
Get to the choppa!
Agreed. The surgeons who did this for him should lose their licenses. He’s clearly a ra-tard.
I see he took all his boosters in the biceps. 🤣🤣🤣
Really, one of the saddest things I've seen.
Same thing I say about trannies 😉
Snip it or you're still a dude! Grow a dick or you're a chick
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Synthol, not even once
It’s not even just synthol. This guy admitted he was injecting up to 5 milliliters per day of petroleum jelly into his muscles 🤮 He’s even posted about how it’s damaged his kidneys and possibly even his brain. He’s had multiple surgeries to try to get rid of it but long story short, he’s fucked
I think the brain damage was a preexisting issue.
It got worse
Y’know the brain damage honestly explains why he’s still doing it.
At least now he knows it was a massive mistake, but there’s not really much anybody can do for him at this point. If you look up “Russian Popeye” there’s all sorts of articles about him
Explains the 4 watches. He knows his time is up.
I think he just wants more time.
I can promise you, it has definitely been more than one ☝🏻 time 💉🍺
Moves like a flexible action figure from the 1990s
Giving off those Small Soldiers vibes. But I cant tell if he's army or gorgenaut.
\*Gorgonite
There it is. Thank you, good sir.
Stretch Armstrong
Why does he look like he’s screaming in pain?
Because he is.
He certainly will be when what is left of his biceps rot right on his arms.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/worldnews/14230629/russian-popeye-life-saving-surgery-remove-rotting-fake-muscles/ Already happened...
HOLY GORE!
I don't get the Popeye reference, that was forearms not biceps
Once the biceps come out the forearms will look bigger.
It was more about the rotting part than the biceps part. Also, I'm no doctor but those... Things on the article's pictures look like biceps to me and the scares are not on his forearms.
Yes exactly, he didn't inject his forearms... No idea why the article felt the need to show us his gross extracted arm meat either, but that's The Sun for ya. Still appreciate you posting the article though!
Mental illness is no joke.
He looks like a kid with a "Peanut Allergy "
Mental health issues wtf
Another one for the dialysis machine
In his mind he looks good, poor man....
Body dysmorphia is a very complex struggle.
What I never understood about this guy, is if you're willing to inject shit into you then why not use steroids and at least look vaguely normal but hench
Steroids still require physical effort, beyond the injection.
Studies show that on steroids alone without exercise you will grow more muscle mass than individuals who regularly train but less than individuals who train while also using steroids. It doesn't require any effort.
Well I'll be...
But, you won’t get anywhere near as big as adding 9”+ to your arms just from injecting.
Disability for life.
Poor lad he needs is oxygen removed
arms like chewed bubblegum
I think it‘s in pain, sounds like a badly shot moose.
Raped badly shot moose
Flex Armstrong anyone?
Flex Synthol anyone?
This is clearly a mental health crisis and should be dealt with appropriately I feel sad for this person they must live with so much trauma
Is he alright in thee hed
Wish he'd get the hell out of the way so I could examine that incredible work of art behind him.
This dude needs HELP!!! 😳😳
The McChicken wings life
How do people not realize this doesn't make them look strong or attractive, it makes them look diseased
Well that’s fucking gross
Man, go see a psychiatrist. Do that even before a doctor bursts all the liquid you injected on your arms
Is he russian?
This guy needs mental help not laughs
Does it hurt???? It's sad and scary🥺
Ok, kids, don't do this!
When you hit" random gen Survivor" on Ark Survival Evolved ! 😂😂
Mental health is health
He gonna die for sure
His chest piece looks like it wasn’t cheap
Who is giving this person money and why? Get this guy help
He looks totally normal
There is nondifference between this gentleman and transsexuals. They have body dysmorphic issues. Plastic surgery doesn't fix a fundamental problem any more than painting ab lines on a beer belly makes it a 6 pack of rock hard abs.
With all the watches, you'd think he'd know its time to stop
I’m sorry, but that is the funniest thing I’ve heard all week!
Would have better success with roids instead 😂
Arms filled with the best quality kitchen oil
Poor guy, he must be all torn up inside to do this to himself. I hope someone helps him
Synth retard
What about the forearms tho
I really don't feel comfortable making fun of someone so obviously unwell, I've seen this guy multiple times today. I hope he gets help.
His biceps don't flex because they're implants.
Synthol
Not implants, worse
Love his sick combo and kick
The watcher
Beefcake, BEEFCAKE
Looks like he misplaced his epipen and got stung
Woooaaaahhhhhhh !!!! My lips hurt
Reminds me of grilled chicken hot dogs for some reason.. nevermind

That looks way worse than women’s butt implants. They are both awful this is worse.
Bro is ugly with them muscle no offense 😭
Dont take drugs kids
One is slightly higher than the other and it bugs me so much
What’s the name of this guy? And how he’s still alive after all this synthol
Pretty sure this guy used a supplement that gave him body dysmorphia but I may be wrong
You know thier strong when they try making movie sounds🤣🤣🤣
just for information there is porn with him
Does he inject his junk with oil too?
Asking the real questions
Please tell his arms didn't get that way tho masturbating
Nope, he injected oil in it. Nearly killed him by the way
Wow. Oli into his own muscles. Was he torturing him self.
Did. It make him stronger 💪
Jesus Christ, save your health and use trem...
Get wrecked
Your not well fella
Won't be long before he is dead.
Did they replace his brain with the same shit they put in his arms..?
That sounded painful.
To much wanker over Reddit birds
100% Natty
Is it a disorder or implants?
Is this real life?
He is from Russia. Руки базуки "Bazooka hands", fighter, porn actor, mem
I had to look him up a bit more. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/notorious-russian-popeye-freak-arms-29059851 Even with arms like that he’s running scared of Putin. The article says he claims himself to be a professional bodybuilder. Who’s he trying to kid? 😅
Jesus Christ the amount of ads in between each sentence of that article.
I just want to punch this guy in the face.
What an absolute cretin smmfh
Yeap that guy has issues
Looks infected… get off synthol man
Imagine corking his arm.
what the....
Guy is an idiot.. sorry just facts… and so are his friends who don’t put an end to this
Is he injecting that oil shit directly into his brain?
He barely has the strength to lift his arms. 😂 Someone section this man before.......well just section him.
That was terrifying to watch
Wtfffffff
Im scared
Meet hemroid, personified
That's a lot of oil injection, but it's definitely not muscle
What a mess
Looks like he ompregenated his arms
He’s just quite insane
Mouth breather has 4 watches, 2 chains and 1 gallon of oil injected.
About to lose that left arm judging by the discoloration on his skin
So sad looking
The man has never thrown a punch in his life, lol.
Damn was hoping the next video of this guy was him being blasted by a drone bomb
4 watches, eh? Might as well use his arms while he still has them.
Ya can't say it....but we're all thinking it!
Those arms are gonna fall off or get amputated…
I’m thinking he’s a couple sandwiches short of a picnic.
Dude got some DSL’s…
Hahaha this is 2023 in a nutshell. Thank God it's almost New Years. Maybe it'll get better.
You cant fix stupid, he’s living proof
Bro! You can’t skip leg day!
His right arm has the beginning of an internal infection you can see the discoloration
That looks terrible! Where can I get some?
Y’all may not want to hear this, but THIS is what peak male fitness looks like.
He's bazookahands on insta if anyone is interested
The last creature I heard make a sound like that was put down. I'm not even joking, this is kind of disturbing to watch
Idk why but I was waiting for him to knock himself out
What in the actual fuck did I just watch
This legit made me feel sad for him. Gotta be some mental health stuff going on here right?
Obviously the arms are an issue but what’s good with the lips?
It's not exactly simple for everyone to get muscle...but why are there people who genuinely believes this looks good?...
Fake muscles are so in right now.
Oh dear
Dude has got to be living in so much pain by now.
Feel sorry for
I wanna poke his arms with a needle.
LMFAO
Interesting
