Yes.

The biggest problem in American politics is we only have two parties who can win that don’t represent the true majority but the most vocal minorities, the rich and the bean counters.

After this last election I’m starting to hate the Dems as much as reps. Yes they’re better on a mathematical level but most of them don’t listen when the people don’t want what the party wants and are too weak and unlikable to stand up for democracy when faced with a charismatic tyrant.

Getting there. That 4chan leak… oof.

For some reason I read that as autocratic asphyxiation.

It’s like he’s pissed off everyone.

I like theory of the leisure class myself.

Every time it’s gotten to this point in the past, I’ve regretted having the convo and felt dumber for getting bogged down in it.

I could use a refresh as while I went to college for politics, I started smoking weed because of how viciously Bernie was shit on and how that directly led to a Trump win. Everything political since then has been a brown haze of shit.

Ironic

Fair

Not all officials but some.

Right now, I’m not because I don’t want to and you can research it too.

Lords of the Fallen and Death Stranding which oddly enough, feel similar because of the ghosts and hands.

Highly recommend these games. DS is getting a sequel and gets better and better the more you play. LotF may as well be Dark Souls 4 with the 2.0 update.

No it’s like saying CEOs set their own salaries.

When it’s not well regulated yes. When it is, it lets people own things and the wealth distribution isn’t fucked.

No, it makes dollars!

It would be, but like, manhattan.

Since Tiananmen Square.

Awesome. Thanks!

“Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.“

Google.

While capitalism can be used for evil, it can also be used for good.

Bigger text doesn’t make your point look better it makes it look obnoxious, but there is a lot of truth in that.

Our problem is we’ve grown so big because we’ve had more nature to conquer and now we’ve conquered the land, we only have each other left to conquer unless we figure out a way to conquer more nature.

There are no capitalists in China, China itself is the capitalist.

The gov officials set their own salaries and control the means of production. In that way it seems capitalist but in a way where everyone decides to become a single capitalist collectively rather than having individual capitalists wielding disproportionate power.
