It is pretty funny that as advanced as our technology gets, we’re still basically just at the higher end of the “steam engine” phase.

One third don’t want it and don’t need it. Another third probably need it, but still don’t want it. And the rest are just sheep.

Well, this is definitely the right place to ask this question.
- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 1 week ago:
Short answer…no. Capitalism is never sustainable. It’s the equivalent of economic cancer.
As wealth is accumulated into fewer and fewer hands, monopolies will always emerge, effectively undermining anything resembling a “free market”. And once all that capital is concentrated into the hands of a few ultra wealthy oligarchs, they will have all the power they need to effectively capture the state…and all the rest of us with it.
The only way to prevent that system from inevitably emerging, is to prevent the accumulation of wealth in the first place. It’s fine to make money. It’s even fine to make a lot of money. But no one needs so much money, that they can effectively buy the entire government.

Never. Which is why it’s never 100% hot. At most it’s maybe 40% hot.

Mostly, yes.

That depends entirely on who you ask.

Ummm… doesn’t this description actually fit better with celsius? 0% hot is frozen. 100% hot is boiling. No?
- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 1 week ago:
Capitalism by itself, doesn’t necessarily involve direct government coordination. You have shareholders who invest capital in a business, and collect dividends from that investment, and the government has almost nothing to do with it, aside from having passive (systemic) protections in place that legitimize the exploitation of the working class.
Crony Capitalism is when Capitalists are directly coordinating with government officials in order to maximize their exploitation of the working class. It’s less passively “systemic” and more actively aggressive.

- Comment on The Amount Of Damage We Caused From COVID Policies Is Jaw Dropping 3 weeks ago:
Lol! I love articles that are chock full of links to other articles from the same website, in order to back up their claims.
Funny thing is, the one link they’re missing is the one to the so-called “study” that the article is supposed to be quoting.

Oh. Ok. That makes sense, then. I stand corrected.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. The message is spot on. Neoliberalism leads to fascism. This isn’t some crack-pot conspiracy theory…it’s a direct chain of cause and effect created by neoliberal economic policies.
When you deregulate the economy, and allow the ultra wealthy to control more and more of the market, they will eventually consolidate their holdings in the form of monopolies. This concentrates enormous amounts of capital…and all the power that comes with it…into a very small number of hands. The entire system is designed to create oligarchs.
Is it really that surprising that the very same people who ruthlessly exploit labor for their own individual benefit, would eventually attempt to seize power more directly? And why would they have any issue at all manipulating the working class into supporting them, and / or violently oppressing those that refuse?
