    Capitalism has robbed us of more than we could ever even imagine. To the point where most people don’t even realize they’ve been robbed. It’s tragic.

    We live in a society where amoral, faceless corporations are more valued than actual human life. And those corporations have so much power over people, and their cognition, that the majority have been tricked into consenting to this perverted system against all of their interests. And I would love for someone to explain to me why there should ever be a distinction between the people producing something, and the people/corporations that own the means of that production. Why should these be two different groups, and why in the FUCK would the class that doesn’t do any actual goddamn work, make 300x more money? It’s fucking disgusting.

    But on the other hand, they said they were going to lower taxes. And also, trans people exist, so…

      Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it’s the reason our standard of living is higher than ever. Every time we try anything else, millions of people die. I’m not sure how many more people need to die for people like you to accept reality. We need to improve capitalism, not turn to authoritarianism.
