    Some person i knew irl has turned their Instagram into a platform to showcase their intellect on economy and capital, with a focus on design and how that will save us (guess what they do for a living)

    Anyway, one post said how when they were young they were inspired by people toppling totalitarian governments with their own hands (lol) and how moved he was by people dying for their right to blue jeans. And I'm like motherfucker how pathetic is it to sacrifice your life for fucking jeans.

        I think of all the old Boshleviks and Great Patriotic War vets and look at Russia and Eastern Europe now, and it does hurt my soul.

        Watched some guy interviewing Russians about their memories of the USSR and one guy was like "we wanted blue jeans! But we had healthcare" and the camera pans down to his jeans "you have jeans now" "yeah, but I'd prefer healthcare"
