I am constantly bewildered by you people who act like these things are separate, unrelated ideas.
What do you fucking mean I’m criticizing government and not capitalism? Is regulation of the economy unrelated to the economic system? Does that economic system not impact the effectiveness of various methods of regulation? Why do you feel you can just sidestep questions and claim it’s unrelated?
Explain how to prevent capital from interbreeding with regulation. Tell me how a government could definitely prevent that.
Also my comment discussed the societal impacts of capitalism. The exhalation of greed has effects on the society which by it’s very nature decrease interest in strong regulation. Greedy people don’t like regulations even if they are never affected by them.
Maybe we are focusing on the wrong places. Maybe we should be burning down schools of economics. Burn down every building that teaches it. Maybe that would help.
It was regulated. They captured the regulators. That’s the whole point. It could never have gone any other way. Capitalism breeds greed. In everyone. And when a greedy person sees another person doing something highly immoral and abusive to their customers, they don’t think, “my God! We have to stop it!”
They think, “that’s a good idea. How can I get MINE?”
According to a study, the lower top 10% accounts for something like 68% of cash flow in the economy. Us plebs are being cut out all together.
That being said, I think if people can’t afford to eat, things might bet bad. We will probably end up a kept population in these ghouls fever dreams.
Edit: I’m an idiot.
My sweet summer child… We missed our chance. The revolution isn’t coming. Or maybe it will happen and then we will die anyways. The climate is fucked. There is no unfucking it. We can fuck it a little less than we currently are every year, but that isn’t going to save us.
The effects of this will rival the Permian extinction in the near term and in the long term, barring a miraculous turnaround through geological processes after a few thousand years, it will certainly be worse.
For reference, the Permian extinction wiped out 90% of ALL LIFE. Like 75% of land based life and 95% of all sea life (of which there was considerably more) at the time died out. It was caused by a sudden and severe increase in atmospheric greenhouse gasses over the course of several thousand years. We are outpacing that by orders of magnitude. So we could quite conceivably reach the levels seen during that time and we could do it much faster, giving all life even less time to adapt to the worst catastrophy in the history of life.
We’re boned, my dude.
So: when in danger, we need deadly force. When not in danger, we don’t.
Crazy.
Can we all get together across the country and burn down as many data centers as humanly possible? Seriously, just a wave of wires across the country.
We need to stop defaulting to “of course rich people won’t personally go to prison.” It only helps enable that in the courts. We need to be furiously protesting these courts and their decisions. Enforce EQUALITY in the court systems.
Only 37%*
We’re all so fucked if nothing changes. We’re currently fucked but will be in the future too.
I really don’t understand your comment. Are you implying that I will have children and sell them out despite my claim?
I would rather eat my own children than sell them out to the future the banks have in mind.
These people have abandoned humanity.
They know EXACTLY what they are doing. They KNOW that we will be pissed at being swindled and RAPED by these crooks but now they have tons of armed guards.
Sure would be a shame if a crowd of several thousand people rounded up every politician into the streets for a little discussion. remind them of who they work for.
He only organized it and voted against it to save face. Totally innocent.
Fuck Schumer into his grave.
All religions and anyone religious should be banned from politics. I’m tired of these delusional freaks shaming us for not living by their hyper strict punishments for existing.
Idk I feel like the first one would be a bit more difficult. You’d get a LOT of fan mail and it would be difficult to sort through. Constant interview requests…
This could easily be me. I live with that terror every single day. That terror intentionally inflicted upon me by the right. Gleefully done. Boastfully done.
Let these ghoul’s bodies rot in the streets for their fellows to admire.
That is just literally not true. There was never any grand consensus. There was religious persecution.
My claim is that capitalism is not only an economic system as it will eventually replace the government as well. I feel like you enjoy talking down to people who don’t have a degree in the fantasy world of economics. The entire field is nonsense building off of nonsense.
