  • There's a significant difference between recognizing the irredeemable, systemic corruption of this economy, and believing no society or economy should exist ever.

    The former wants a just, equitable society, and recognizes this is the opposite of that, and the latter just openly wishes they could shoot their way through life with impunity.

  • Without considering how your free use however you want effects others?

    Absolutely.

    Humans are social animals, hyper-individualism is antisocial.

    Contrary to what the oligarchs tell you, greed and selfishness are character deficits and personal failings.

    Not that they haven't spent the last century propagandizing attempting to rebrand them into virtues like the Orwellian rational self-interest.

  • Honestly currency is fine, but not bastardized by the real villain: capital markets. It has made our currency representative of backwards, antisocial values, and in great quantities, proof of how good one is at extracting value from their fellow humans.

    Capital markets have gone from supposedly a means for seed funding for businesses to the final word, despite contributing NO LABOR to the products or services they take almost all the produced profit from. And in our terminal state market capitalism, they're eating one another and playing economic tricks for short term cash grabs they enforce on companies through threats of lawsuit, breaking entire economic sector's ability to make the products/services they literally existed to provide in the process. LABOR makes the world run, grows the food, makes the discoveries, capital investment just takes all the fruits and leaves a few crumbs.

    We're going to collapse, but if we cared, we'd remake our economy that rewards cooperatives and punishes corporations, and capital investment would receive a small fraction of what labor produces instead of the opposite as it is today.

    And yes, going back to a barter system would be better than this. We might even still be able to breathe above ground in 50 years.

    Oh sure, but for a billionaire humanity will comb the oceans to rescue the goo that's left of them from trying to show off.

  • A) That would take tax revenue for people that most voters sadly have almost no empathy for, despite most prisoners being products and victims of their society that were disenfranchised and driven into illegal activity out of desperation.

    B) Voters largely, maliciously love the suffering of prison populations, because it provides the sweet, sweet dopamine drip of schadenfreude. Most people see schadenfreude about prisoners as entirely guilt free, even if they avoid feeling pleasure at the suffering of the poor and homeless.

    People by and large fucking suck. They see prisoners as the "other," despite them being desperate, struggling human beings and countrymen that usually needed help but received the opposite before having little to nothing left to lose.

    Few other issues put the unvarnished cruelty of mankind on display like discussing how we should treat our prisoners. For every benevolent, enlightened person calling for mercy, compassion, and rehabilitation, there's 10 bloodthirsty people screaming to turn the fucking screws on those BAAAAAAD people.

  • Right, but at cost to others, and attempting to minimize the cost to others trying to rationalize it. That's the point. Call it winning, call it succeeding, call it whatever you like, its me over us. The idea of accepting your benefit at the loss of numerous others tears people en masse down. Maybe another branch would become as popular, maybe not, but such choices are presented frequently in our civilization, and the choice is usually to take the win at other's expense.

    Regardless, we are what we are and on a long enough time scale what we are will destroy us. That's not as sad to me as all the other creatures we'll take with us, but even we won't be able to sterilize all terran life, so the Earth will recover from us. Life will go on after we successfully fuck ourselves trying to fuck one another. I find solace in that.

  • and with enough money I don't care.

    Most people are like you.

    Which is precisely why humanity will be just another of many dead end evolutionary cul-de-sacs in Earth's natural history.

    I've come to peace with that, but this is a nice microcosm of the core reason. We can do better, we know better, but at the end of the day, almost all of us will just take the animalistic dopamine rush of winning.

    Live together or die alone. We choose the second one like breathing.

    If most humans were like Kempf (we're not), we'd actually have a chance.

  • Not to mention that billionaires are fancy lads and lasses expecting to be waited on hand and foot. When their operations and Security people, people much more generally competent then them in every conceivable real world way, no longer has use for them or their paychecks, they will become their bunkers very, very quickly, especially because wealthy people don't know how to share and will treat them as staff and not people, let alone friends.

    I can't imagine them finding security that meets their standards for employment that also lacks opportunism. You don't agree to protect Bezos from the hoards of Bezos' victims without being selfish to begin with.

  • Market Capitalism has poisoned the very core of humanity, civilization, and literally the COMMUNal environment we all rely on from one breath to the next.

    Good thing the market capitalists are so fucking confident that the solution is... going harder on market capitalism. We'll just merge, monopolize, and lay off our way into human happiness and equilibrium, won't we?

    That's why the owners propagating this system are building luxury bunker compounds in places like New Zealand, because they're planning to clean up their mess and have confidence in a bright future!
