#hottake on #capitalist scandals, #bricksandminifigs can certainly fuck off all the way, of course nobody should ever walk into any franchise ever. But if you think the ABS in some #shit #starwars #legos is worth more than gold, you too can fuck off all the way.

What is this now?

This is very much sounding like #nazi #Germany, like actually it's right here in plan view.

This can almost as easily be used against #libraries as being 'anti capitalist' while perhaps not as vocally anti capitalist they do eat into their profits.

One thing for sure they hold an amount of books and DVDs that Christians might object to.

Should ai data centers be target by law enforcement by Trumps logic here? As much as i'm sure we'd love to see that happen there are obvious (u.s specific) law hurdles for that.

Trump can't just have #lawinforcement (physically at that) silence an anti #Christian person due to #firstamendment protections, another an anti capitalist person.

Not only that, I would argue that ai is anti #capitalist even itself.

How so: If people can't get jobs who is going to make money to actually afford the constant price hikes in the future? None of this makes sense for any ideology. It must be a personal profits motive.

People are aloud to talk trash about #capitalism in the u.s, i'm sorry.

What's even more alarming is, what could this mean for #mastodon ?

Metaphysical #materialism reinforces and grants legitimacy to ethical materialism, which is the backbone of #capitalist #consumerism. If reality truly is fundamentally mechanistic, then ultimately we are little more than cogs in the machine, and value and meaning are just lies we tell ourselves.

The way I see at this point, both Putin and Trump have failed to convince enough people to let them stay dictators. Both are bunker hunkers from now on. They can still do a lot of damage but their personal stories are ending soon.

But - the #Epstein / #Fascist / #Capitalist machine will go into overdrive to try and get a new power centre in place before they collapse. The #Zionist #Israel is not safe enough or stable enough and they are finally starting to be seen by the wider public for what they are, even if politicians and media are still playing the one (more) bad apple / terrorists / Antisemitism cards.

I see it going one of three ways now:

* Trump and/or Putin realise they are fucked and somehow manage to trigger the nukes to knock over the board because they lost the game.

* Some other project in Europe (very possibly the puppet grifter, #Farage being put in place in the UK) will keep it all going (then we start another cycle of Fascist rebuilding)

* The best case that I can see - Trump, Putin and Netenyahu collapse and their structural corruption is swept away before another power focus can be built. This could still lead to a lot of conflict but at least it is likely to be a fight (political and / or physical) rather than a slow drip of taking us all out a segment at a time in camps.

"We could then at least have an honest discussion about the role of #government in a #capitalist economy"

When did you develop that ability?

We could then at least have an honest discussion about the role of #government in a #capitalist economy, and also a discussion about the role of #religion in the #culture. We could revisit the #billofrights.

The #capitalist ruling #class is psychopathic and sociopathic, mainly driven by greed, bigotry, self interest, misogyny, racism and all other kinds of hatred. #BigTech
#oppression #exploitation #authoritarianism #genocide
We need to actively reject and fight these profoundly sick bastards, that cause immense suffering among us all. A people that’s biologically driven by an intrinsic need for #connection and #care for each other.

Pro- #capitalist working class people are suffering from Stockholm syndrome. They've become so attached to and dependent on their abuser that they no longer even know they're being abused, or if they do, they vent their resentment toward anyone but their abuser. They need help.

"Part of the pro- #capitalist psychosis is the naive assumption that the system is a perfect #meritocracy in which everyone always gets exactly what they deserve."

Another cheap strawman for the collection. I still hold out hope that some day someone who hates capitalism will do so on the basic of an honest criticism and actually understanding of what it is, not this sort of hyperbolic nonsense.

Part of the pro- #capitalist psychosis is the naive assumption that the system is a perfect #meritocracy in which everyone always gets exactly what they deserve. And this allows them conveniently to turn a blind eye toward #injustice, and go about living their lives in blissful apathy.
