Late Stage Capitalism

Yeah but in dum dum yankkkee land we have no healthcare or public transit. We got giant Hooverville everywhere.

You can not single handeely change this. They only way is to work together. If you havent already, find a group (ideally in person), and meet regularly. Find a project you can all work on together. Everyone needs to chip away at the hydra.

I killed seven obscenely wealthy people last week and ate their flesh to redistribute their wealth. Pretty sure that's how it works. Even if it isn't, it can't hurt for us to all give it our best shot.

I don't think McVeigh was a terrorist. I think he was a patriot.

I'm not condoning violence. But I want to point out that Millennials first rebelled against the fed during Occupy Wall Street, and it accomplished nothing because it was peaceful. 15 years later, no amount of peaceful attempts to change things for the better has worked.

Every time there is an attempt to form organized resistance, alphabet agencies infiltrate the movement and their favorite thing to do is have one of their undercover agents begin violent protest and that lets their goons swoop in to conduct mass arrests of all the people affiliated with the movement that weren't acting out violently. Just being associated with the violent guy (who is an undercover cop) is enough to get them arrested. I think that's exactly what they did on January 8th because a number of violent protestors walked away without charges, but a lot of people who were there and just walked into the capitol building got slapped with multiple charges and are still struggling with legal battles years later.

The intelligence agencies have cracked rule by mass psychology and the above is just one tool they use to maintain control. The American mindset that "socialism is evil and capitalism is good" is another tool they use to stifle rebellion. They no doubt have agents reading this right now and are probably adding my user account to a list.

So where do we go? JFK said if you make peaceful revolution impossible you make violent revolution inevitable. But at this point I think the CIA, NSA, and FBI have basically proven him wrong. I don't see how a revolution of any kind is able to get up and running in modern day USA.

If you're interested in learning more about how they control dissent, give this documentary a watch. It's long but is really good. https://youtu.be/eJ3RzGoQC4s

This week, each one of you has a homework assignment. You're gonna go out, you're gonna talk to a coworker about pay. You're gonna tell a coworker how much you get paid even if that's cringe.

The world needs to collectively make these people's vast accumulation of wealth and thus power illegal. Old and new money regardless of where it came from.

Japan has very little wealth inequality.

that, and none of the people who so flippantly dismiss us all as cowards have ever seriously considered the realities of spending considerable time in the American penal system, our favorite way of breaking people who color outside the lines. They're usually people from countries where prison is a place of rehabilitation and not punishment.

Everyone wants to see another Luigi, nobody wants to go through the kind of grief he is going or will go through.

Well, they've also been brainwashed into extreme individualism, "if you fail at life it's your fault" kind of thinking. The fact that losing your job means homelessness, no healthcare, and with extremely powerful corporations handling pretty much everything you do or own makes it incredibly hard to organise.

Kind of weird that it somehow made the rich richer...

Never let a good crisis go to waste they say

Man, seeing this graph that was a literal inflection point where their wealth exploded compared to a literal decade before.

You make the assumption that negative wealth is okay when you're young.

I don't agree with that.

Some say that time is wasted on the young. They have so much of it that they don't know what to do with it. I say that wealth is wasted on old people, for the same reason.

A society should invest in young people. They spend the money back into the system and shape the future they have to live in by how they spend it. Old people do none of that. They just tuck it away, and clutch their pearls.

I'm grateful to live in a society that has welfare to pay young people to study, so they don't start their lives in debt. I hardly used it myself, but I'm still happy to pay my taxes knowing that our society has raised the bar so that nobody is forced into negative wealth just to get their life started. Poverty is low, homelessness is low, education is high. This is the society that I want to live in and pay for.

Some would call it socialism. It's not really, and it isn't perfect, but whatever it is, it's surely better than a casino where the house always wins, also known as the American Dream.
