They have never in my lifetime acted as friends. They have never offered so much as a kind word for anyone not in their group.
At some point, you have believe people when they show you who they are.
Yes, there is intense propaganda. Yes they are uneducated. This changes nothing of the material reality of the situation they FOUGHT FOR.
If they want to come over to my side, I would welcome them. They have to make they effort, not just whinge that their own policies are hurting them. The more they suffer from their own stupidity, the more likely they will see the light.
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.
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.
There would literally have to be many thousands of executions for this country to be trustworthy again. Anything short of that will result in the exact same shit happening again in 3 years.
Where do you think the idea of "The Fates" comes from? Or any number of other similar deities/forces in nearly every society around the world. That feeling has been with us as humans for a long, long time.
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?"
It will not keep going forever. A few decades longer at best.
The climate will end all other plans. Be sure of it.
Those plans may change to something worse, but the status quo of people being weak and complacent will end, by by force of nature. Will that mean revolution? Who cares. It will be too late. It is too late.
The Cambodians have a history of claiming thai historical sites as Cambodian and generally claiming everything to be theirs. They have been sending civilians to the border to cause problems and try to cross illegally
It is evolving in the direction that eventually ONLY companies will be people. ONLY companies will have rights.
We must dissolve every single one of them and burn their boards as an offering to the gods of nature. I am begging all of you. Look inside yourselves and help me.
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.
