  • Do you understand how offensive that concept is to a market capitalist?

    They don't even want to fund public schools, and they get a pre-literate workforce out of that.

    "Whats in it for me" would be our national slogan, if it wasn't already "fuck you whether or not I got mine."

  • We've been knowingly on the path to self-destruction for half a century.

    It's just become increasingly difficult to engage in self-delusion about it as the consequences become apparent.

    This is why I'm past hope.

  • That's fine. Our trajectory is pretty well set anyway. We'll keep insisting more growth/metastasis is the solution for the consequences of reckless growth/metastasis.

    Have fun blaming everything except the root cause on the way down.

    The capitalists own major media, the capitalists influence curriculum, as they've captured the state governments that set them, from K-Colleges of Economics to say "free market" capitalism is the only way kiddies. It indoctrinates millions of non-wealthy Americans to advocate against their own interests. Hi.

    They use their power over government not only to deregulate their own industries for profit, but to defund social supports and then use their media to shriek "see how government doesn't work?! Privatize everything!"

    You can sing the praises of capitalism if you want, but capitalism not straight jacketed/draconianly regulated is a social blight that removes all humanity from society. A society shouldn't be in service to an economy, an economy should be a lowly tool to distribute goods and services for the benefit of society.

  • Oh ok, so you acknowledge that humanity's footprint needs to be systematically drastically reduced for the next several generations until we reach a number this planet can sustainably support, and we need to push to end the capitalist global economy that requires infinite growth/metastasis on a finite world with finite resources immediately, in favor of an economic model that revolves around homeostasis/equilibrium, which will require necessary draconian lifestyle changes on all of our parts, right?

    For the record, I'm more than willing to. I'm hilariously outnumbered though.

    Now go ahead and talk about "baby steps" in the face of accelerating temperature increases. Baby steps are steps that could have made an impact that reverberated into today's consequences half a century ago when we knew about climate change but largely pretended we didn't.

    You call it doomerism, but I just don't believe in self-deception to feel better.

  • It's important to remember we are doing it for glorious purpose:

    From what the capitalists and their non-wealthy sycophants tell me, this is the only way, and we should stop complaining as they end the world to see who can get th highest ego score.

    Few comedians rise to the level of philosophers and notable social commentators, but I'd count Bill Hicks among them.

  • I had an aunt who told me as a small child not to feel bad or give a dollar to homeless people because they're "bad people who deserve to starve."

    She died wealthy as a former J&J executive. What a fucking train wreck of a society where monsters like that get to live a life of gluttony for their dedication to private profit and schadenfreude.

    Our values are wrong. Our values are disturbing.

  • Look at the sheer scale and number of massive, malicious mistakes that one of our billionaires makes, while having ZERO impact on their tangible quality of life or lifestyle. None. Their ego score goes down and nothing else changes. The people they laid off suffer, never them.

    Remember that when some pro-market capitalism class traitor nitwit inevitably tries to shame struggling people for daring to get a latte, eat Avacado toast, or get an education based on learning and growing as a person rather than solely insatiable greed.

    People in the little club basically have to rape dozens of people to finally be permitted to fail, like Harvey Weinstein.

    You aren't poor because of "your bad decisions," you're poor because of a relatively small, insatiably greedy, powerful group of people that demand and expect almost all of the capital value your effort produces to go directly to them.

  • China's problem is a universal problem. They're "communist" in name only. Their economy has capitalist demands for growth/metastasis, same as ours and most developed economies.

    People want to have kids when they can expect those kids to live at minimum the same quality, and preferably better quality, than they themselves did and do. That just isn't the case anymore as the global economy has run out of massive new sectors for growth/metastasis and has begun eating itself. You can see this in all the entire sectors here merging into monopolies and duopolies. Constant merging isn't a business strategy, it's just trying to buy time in a failing economic model.

    Capitalism has always been a long-term pyramid scheme to concentrate all the power/wealth/means/capital to a small owner class. The problem is, the con has run out of new places and ways to exploit people as you eventually can't squeeze more out of a fully exploited stone. No pensions, laughable pay, no future. Just expected to thanklessly generate capital for the owners in larger and larger quantities for the love of what? The nation trying to commoditize your entire life to profit the right people? Why would you bring another poor, desperate child to suffer such a world?

    Now, in their desperation, these economies that lead their societies and governments around by the nose are desperately screaming "MORE LIVESTOCK TO EXPLOIT GOD DAMN IT!" because in lieu of not being able to squeeze any harder on existing capital batteries without being correctly told to 'get fucked,' that's all they have.

    I firmly believe that is why the federalist society that runs our SCOTUS is trying to get abortion banned, as the most profitable capital batteries are desperate, poor ones. I also believe the intentional decline of our public education system is meant to address the same problem, if they can make the population stoooopid enough not to consider the lives the children of already struggling peasants would have.

    This world is finite. Its resources finite. An economic model literally based on infinite continuous growth/metastasis or die is not compatible with the world as it is. In every sense, it is killing us, whether by climate change from without, and loss of actual personal meaning within, at least for the non-winning vast majority. The goal of global economics should have been to establish a sustainable population that could find equilibrium/homeostasis with our shared, COMMUNal environment we all rely on from one breath to the next. Not a lot of room for Super Yachts and private jets in such a world though...

He betrayed their trust and destroyed their communities, all because he wanted ever mooooaaaar despite having more than most, a common diseased mindset these days. "GIMME ITS MINE" no matter the harm done to others.

    My philosophy in life isn't "treat others as you would have them treat you." In our sick world, that makes you a mark, sadly.

    My philosophy is: In a vacuum, not knowing who someone is, be kind. But once someone shows you who they are, treat others how they treat others.
