  • Clyde, which part of…

    read this part real careful like, okay?

    …didn’t you comprehend the first time around?

    Your terminal mental incompetence notwithstanding, here is the important bit again.

    Greed is an individual characteristic - it has nothing to do with capitalism, which is a global system of ravenous and genocidal exploitation which would function in the exact way it does even if it’s main beneficiaries weren’t “greedy” in any way whatsoever.

    If you cannot understand how liberals hide the reality of a global system of ravenous and genocidal exploitation behind the (supposed) individualized “greed” of a (supposed) “few bad actors” it’s best you don’t go around feigning expertise on this stuff, okay?

    Perhaps it’s best to not go around calling people online “moron” when it’s perfectly clear that you don’t have a damn clue what it is you are talking about.




  • A free market processes information to distribute resources to the already wealthy

    FTFY.

    During its finite lifespan, it’s useful.

    Useful to whom? The enormous amounts of cheap, expendable and impoverished labor required to keep the parasites rich, perhaps?

    If you don’t like “late stage capitalism”, then you’re a free market lover at heart

    Riiiight… if I don’t like beheadings I must (somehow) also be a fan of traumatic amputations? You’re a genius, Clyde.

    It’s not all bad, though… I do like your “ashes” metaphor - it’s pretty apt to describe what capitalism has delivered onto the world.

    I don’t particularly want change. I want the current set of rights and freedoms to stay.

    I know. I also know you will happily surrender those meagre “rights and freedoms” to prevent change.

    That’s why us leftists say, “scratch a fascist and a liberal bleeds.”

    Greed is how liberals protect capitalism by pretending it’s individual behavior that is the cause of our problems and not the global system of ravenous and genocidal exploitation that it actually is.




  • Even if he could (somehow) I’d doubt it - a lot of people seem to completely ignore the fact that the far-right critters simply isn’t coming out of the woodwork for Trump now in the same way that they did in 2016. The reason for that is simple - Trump dropped them like a rotten potato the minute he walked into the Waffle House pretty much at the same time they were being beaten in the streets by antifa. They know that Trump is not their boy.

    He still has his core of MAGAs, of course - but without the neo-nazis and the KKK doing their little “sturm-und-drang” schtick for Trump in the streets, Trump is going to be less of a “Great White Hope” and more “Great Orange Farce”… and this would be far worse for Trump in 2028 than it is now.
