The contradictions of capitalism be contradicting
Hmmm 4+ hour wait to be seen in the emergency room (luckily not me)
Good thing COVID is a thing of the past amirite?
Dread from it, run from it, enshitification still arrives
sigh
Why must people on LinkedIn be like this. A guy was just laid off because he took “too long of a medical leave” and of course he’s thanking the company.
Holy shit man, decorum and its consequences have utterly rotted the average worker’s brain. And I’m the radical one for wanting to be treated like a human and not a profit pawn.
Incredibly depressing stuff
This is a good point, kinda hard for for a US collapse to happen all at once, especially with the way the country is spread out
Also, there won’t be an apocalypse, but things will steadily get worse as the contradictions of capitalism become increasingly apparent
Lol it really is so much worse than my younger self imagined and somehow continues to get worse with each passing day
Hmm not sure I like the framing here, liberals are 100% culpable as well
I know generational warfare is reductionist, but older gen xers and boomers make it too easy by constantly poking fun at millennials for not being able to afford shit while completely ignoring how their circumstances are a result of a dumb luck.
Like, congrats on being able to afford a house in the early 2000s when interest rates were reasonable, old head. I’m sure nothing happened in 2008 that made things significantly more difficult for anyone after. The least those fuckers could do is have the slightest bit of self-awareness
Public programs are purposely underfunded to make it easy for people to point to why they don’t work (the average person doesn’t think about/care whether they get funding), making it easier to continue the process of privatizing everything.
Many conspiracy theories aren’t actually conspiracy theories but a consequence of profit-driven motives that give the illusion of a conspiracy theory.
What is this severely dysfunctional mindset that all propaganda (even if in thw best interests of the majority) is bad? Where the hell did it come from?
The reason socialism doesn’t work is because it inevitably causes people to start eating babies and smothering patients in hospital beds. It makes sense though because this is what Marx wanted. Anyone who pretends otherwise is simply unable to understand Econ 101
Remember Andrew yang’s whole math guy grift?
“😀 I’m going to show the American people how easy it is for everyone to get 1K a month by slashing other existing social safety nets”
Was recently thinking about how much of a sham that was lol a real math guy would’ve done the math on how many vacant homes to homeless people exist in the US and how much it would take to shelter/feed/support them
Also, shouldn’t conservatives want a return to the US before car companies ruined everything?
Starting to believe that “conservative” thing is a bunch of horseshit. Pure ideology.
Change I like = good
Change I don’t like = bad
They’re also the most pricey
Capitalist irony drives me bonkers
tankies will hold you captive in the vegetable section of your local grocery store if you make walkable cities happen
people have become so numb to how shit everything is, suggestions to marginally improve things are seen as utopian
Words can’t describe how much I hate it here
So many people (not all obviously) have a partner just so they are not single and monogamy has become a fucking cult
Just really goes to show that actions mean shit when you can get on a liberal’s good side with nothing but flowery words
