  • Honestly, this is better.

    Corporations, especially publicly traded corporations are amoral. Sociopaths. If they could make moar money murdering you painfully, they would every time.

    When they give to charity, they donate 100k to the charity and spend 3 million advertising they gave 100k to charity, as it's a marketing ploy.

    They don't see poors as human, regardless of identity, you are livestock to them. I like my sociopath capitalists out in the open. They're even more dangerous when they convince you they have basic decency. They don't. Sell your products and services, if I absolutely need it, I'll buy it, if I don't I won't.

    But we're half a century past the point of pretending the relationship between the oligarch capitalists and their labor consumers is a cordial, or even respectful one. I've long considered these campaigns to be patronizing to a cartoonish degree. They never gave a shit about trans or LGBT who aren't also affluent. They also don't care about the hate speech they're condoning, they just put on whatever false face they believe will maximize profit.

    It doesn't have to be like this, but this is what our economy rewards, sociopathic greed. We'd have to change the shape and priorities of our economy to reward prosocial behaviors and vocations, and punish individualistic greed based vocations, if we wanted that to change. That would require painful revolution as our government is completely captured, and we're sadly too chickenshit.

  • Nah, they need brood mares. Once they come for the other scapegoat groups in order of size from smallest to largest, then they'll take the women's autonomy, demote their tokens back to nothing, and make women second class citizens again, treated as children under the "care" of their fathers, husbands, and brothers.

    That's the fascist playbook, you don't start with half the population, too much pushback. You pick off any potential resistance in order of the weakest, smallest groups first. It warms up their lynch mob and gets them into "git em" training with those that mob is least likely to have an "well I know some good ones I'm out" reaction.

  • If Republicans had their way, she'd be making the men in her party sandwiches and otherwise staying silent.

    Women, racial minorities, and log cabin Republicans are a special kind of "do you know who you're standing with?" oddity.

    But then again Jews for Nazism(Association of German National Jews) were a thing too, until they'd outlived their usefulness as misleading tokens and it was their turn for a train ride and suddenly they weren't.

  • Never let the capitalists convince you they're in favor of competition.

  • I think the endgame is for the oligarchs to somehow have an economy where they profit without having to pay wages at all.

    To which I say fine, so long as humans can form a socialist economy they are banned from participating in, just like a cheater in an online game. Let their hallucinating LLMs agents design, sell, and buy their products and leave humanity alone, antisocial greedy fucks.

  • Which is proof they're lobotomized by corporate culture and effectively dead inside.

    Husks.

  • The mental patients both own and run the asylum.

  • The kids of parents who actually tried to fight to give them a decent future and world to live in:

    "My parents died in prison. They committed suicide in their cells by shooting themselves in the back of their heads somehow."

  • A type, true believer office people.

    It's all laid out, you have at most 100 years and 50ish healthy ones if you're extremely lucky, and you want to spend more energy then you absolutely have to... micromanaging others and bragging about maximizing your office work output as you eek out a living?

    I genuinely find the coworkers that try to drown themselves in corpo kool-aid disturbing. Soulless. I find them as sad and pathetic as they probably find me for my half hearted, clearly mocking impression of corpo culture, as I don't show my true self at work.

    Like just.. Why? It's a job. The owner truly doesn't care if you live or die. Stop bragging that you canceled on your family yet again in favor of your "work family."🤮 They think they're setting an example for their coworkers to follow, but I'm just sitting there pitying them.

  • "If you're looking for self-help, why would you read a book written by somebody else? That's not self-help... that's help. There's no such thing as self-help. If you did it yourself you didn't need help. Try to pay attention to the language we've all agreed on. "

  • Find something to hate all you want, but the major Bethesda releases into today with a bunch of mod profiles could keep me in offline paradise for decades.

    And it's a bitch to get working right, and takes mods to do so, but you get Skyrim VR the working properly, and you won't miss any of the modern live service bullshit.

  • Thank you sincerely!

    When one of your hobbies becomes finding new and interesting ways to make the same points at clouds and brick walls on the internet, as mine has, you come to find efficiency in eloquence.

    It helps me to at least feel like I'm holding onto my sanity in insane times.

  • I never didn't when I reached the age of reason and saw the social tolerance celebration worship of unchecked avarice as the core rot in our civilization for what it is.

    Im glad so many are finally overcoming their capitalist "greed is rational and your lessers have to lose for you to win" programming, even at this late hour as the capitalists burn the very world under our feet... and your grandmother who needs a hip replacement or chemotherapy alive... for another nickel on their sociopath hoards.

    Do we want a society... And all the benefits that being an actual society with a functioning social contract entails? Or do we want to continue to be a bunch of temporarily embarrassed millionaires pathetic mark suckers at each other's throats tearing eachother down over scraps and false promises (hard work will be rewarded! Consumption will make you feel better! The odds are ever in your favor!) so we never look up at our owners?

  • Also, only about 28,000 hundred-million-plus-inaires on Earth.

    For perspective, significantly more Palestinians have already been casually genocided by our bestie trade partner in that current conflict.

    The blight upon our civilization of billions is not that large.

    I'm not even suggesting they be adjusted, because I'm not a sociopath like they are. Use an economic guillotine, confiscate their exploitation gotten hoards for the commons(yes nationalize essential industries like utilities and Healthcare so they're owned by society), reshape the economy to stop rewarding speculative gambling with exploitation gotten chips over honest labor and vocations like teachers that keep civilization running, obviously institute a maximum wealth cap as other people live in this society going forward to prevent recurrance, bring their ego scores to zero for their murderous greed, let them keep $20 and give each of them a set of literal, cheap bootstraps, and let them get a real job.

    Bar them from forming any kind of corporate entities or investing in anything other than a standard savings account for life, just as people convicted of computer crimes are sometimes barred from operating computers as they've proven they're a danger to others with them.

    I'd be shocked if half of them didn't take themselves out of the equation suddenly being subject to the same reality as their current livestock.

  • Yeah sorry, didn't proofread well. Fixing thanks.
