I remember seeing film of the huge queues for bread as the Soviet Union was falling apart, and feeling sad.
Great to see how much the world has improved now that Capitalism has won.

Er, there were huge queues long before it started falling apart, communism failed for a reason.

Sorry. You are right! I should have given a full history of the USSR.

You were clearly implying the queues were a result of the collapse of communism and that capitalism revels in creating queues. Such intellectual dishonesty can not go unchallenged. You are Ken Livingstone AICMFP.

It was mainly because of those huge queues communism fell apart
except they were for essentials like food and clothes
The irony isn't lost though

What irony? Queueing for an essential dietary staple cannot be compared to queuing for a luxury that is literally not needed at all as all those cunts already have a phone. There is a world of difference between HAVING to queue to obtain basic sustenance and CHOOSING to queue because you're a sad twat.

Oh there is something ironic in a queue like that
for an utterly meaningless upgrade to some electric object probably in all their pockets, simply because this is the clone and sheep affluence has made of them; selling the need to stand about waiting to part with their money for something none of them needs, as opposed to what happened the other side of the iron curtain in the eighties for stuff you actually needed to survive

I could understand a long queue to buy tickets to see a band, you can connect emotionally with music, or maybe to meet a movie star, even though I couldn't relate to that, and maybe even for a computer game if I really ramp up the empathy (and I don't really play computer games). But for a phone? The functionality of which is improved only marginally or barely perceptibly? Facebook won't be better on it, nor Angry Birds. It's a bizarre fetishisation that will forever remain beyond my ken. Like those vigils for Jobs when his untreated cancer did for him, it's a cult I tell you.

I guess the irony is that both Communism and Capitalism ended up with huge queues
Question; If something ironic implies irony, does something moronic imply...morony? If so I'll be using that word a lot more in the future.
