Political Memes

A US politician that doesn't deepthroat coporation everytime he opens his mouth? Guard him well, these types tend to end up comitting suicide via a bullet to the back of the head.

I keep reading one or another form of "regulated capitalism is the goal" or "in small countries work" or "the problem is people". Regulated capitalism sounds great, but it is like saying "sanitised street pond". You can try and sanitise it all you want but in the end it is by its very design gonna be an undrinkable mess.

There is no great moment of the US. Even when you had wealth, it was on the backs of the rest of america, both the country's second class citizens, and the rest of the continent. You're obsessed with empires, meddling in other countries' governments, controlling resources in other countries, glorified violence, dominance, and individualist hero idealism. Even compared to other powers like China, count how many military bases you have vs the rest of the world. You've been historically bullies, obsessed with hustle, profit over life, status and personal achievement. Every time you have an increase of wealth is at the cost of someone else. The problem is you have lived so long in this bubble of entitlement that you have no idea how it impacts everything around you. Somewhere there's a totalitarian regime where they'll murder people with guillotines, and people will rush to buy stocks in companies selling sharp blades. There is no ethic in capitalism, capitalism does not care about people.

You can practically hear the phonk.

This guy fucks...

The Bourgeoisie

Capitalism requires consistent growth and most non-economists think it should be left unregulated. However I distinctly recall one person recently who pushed to add government controls and even said they didn’t care about the stock markets and what companies felt was best, and instead were doing what they felt best benefitted Americans.

So why is no one asking Trump the same question when he’s clearly going against (American) capitalism?

capitalism wouldn't be so bad without the corrupt bloated shitheel scumbag fucking christofascligarchs

It's still called capitalism, but in reality it's drifted way off course. What we've got now looks more like a corporate oligarchy. The free market only applies to small players, big banks and mega-corps get bailouts, write policy through lobbyists, and face no real consequences for failure. It's capitalism in name, but the rules are rigged. Real capitalism doesn't have a reset button for the rich and a bootstraps lecture for everyone else.

This appears to be the Mamdani interview by Erin Bernett on CNN, during which the word capitalism or capitalist was mentioned exactly zero times. EDIT: I gave up too soon, it's 8min in and I was looking at an older transcript from three days ago.

Her questions were actually pretty good because they set Mamdani up to give amazing answers, ~~instead of the stupid tribalistic bullshit in your fanfiction.~~ except for that question so dumb I thought it was bullshit.

Capitalism has created extreme wealth disparity, allowed the wealthy to buy our politicians and pass whatever legislation they want, and is quite literally killing our planet.

What a stupid fucking question.

I get that humans are too stupid to move past capitalism, but can we at the very least pull our knuckles off the ground and accept that capitalism has to be heavily regulated to reasonably function?

Omg, did you just darken his beard again? Somebody call Fox with this breaking story.
