@georgetakei Oddly enough, the solution seems to be to combine all three options
Can't we just say capitalism and be done with it?

@chema @georgetakei

We can and could, but you're going to need another system that isn't equally as flawed, or flawed in different ways to a similar extent.

That's the problem.

@Clarkeeeeee1980 @chema @georgetakei and oddly, this actually exists. It's called Social Market Economy Democracy and a lot of European nations practice it.
@tomorgel @chema @georgetakei I'd be all in favour of that, however it's still based on free market principles, which wouldn't satisfy many anti-capitalists.
@Clarkeeeeee1980 @chema @georgetakei
It still isn't ideal, but it's a step into the right direction, away from free raging capitalism.
@Clarkeeeeee1980 @chema @georgetakei for context: I was born and (partly) raised in the socialist former GDR and … no, a fully state controlled marked also doesn't work. Not with humans, I suppose. The greed, sadly, doesn't go away. People still find ways to enrich themselves on the cost of society, capitalism or not.
@georgetakei wait they are synonyms effectively right?
@georgetakei um ... all of the above George ... all of the above
@georgetakei why can I only pick one? 😂😂😂
@georgetakei they are all pretty shitty George. Can I pick all 3?
@georgetakei it’s close but billionaire man babies generally don’t have a military at their disposal
@justinsb @georgetakei proudbois and oathbreakers come close, but trumpy isn’t really a billionaire either. 🤷‍♂️
@justinsb @georgetakei but they can easily afford a malignant narcissist politician or 20.
@justinsb @georgetakei They sometimes have politicians at their disposal, though. This is a *really* tough poll.

@justinsb @georgetakei

Are you sure about that? Billionaire man babies fund political parties and have, as a result, a lot of influence on the people who do have a military.

@georgetakei
[X] all of the above
@georgetakei Billionaires (read: „Lobbyists“) are the worst, I reckon.
@georgetakei It's easy to eliminate diarrhea. (Too subtle? Maybe.)
@georgetakei For what it's worth, I think option 1 inherently makes you part of option 2 as well, LOL.
@georgetakei Oh, geez, George, they’re all my favorites.
@georgetakei I can’t choose. They’re all really terrible
@georgetakei Neither of the first 2 affect *me* directly. :-)
@georgetakei I needed two choices, George. lol
@georgetakei God that’s a tough one George.
@georgetakei it’s funny how much I’m struggling with the first two and not even considering the third.
@eleinart @georgetakei HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH get a job Ellie
@georgetakei compared the other two, explosive diarrhea has a fun side. At least theres a brief adrenaline rush.
@NBGlitterBomb @georgetakei Yes, there's at least that relief factor... the other two generally don't offer that (except, well, I guess, when they are also expelled).
@georgetakei comparing billionaire man babies and narcissistic politicians to explosive diarrhea is an insult to explosive diarrhea.

@georgetakei It’s really not fair to post a poll where Donald Trump qualifies in every category.

Well, OK, he’s not a real billionaire. But he plays one on TV.

@georgetakei @pixelscience I think he stole $1.7 billion from taxpayers while he was president, so…maybe?
@georgetakei You know that you really, really made that tough between those first two choices. I chose the top one because once you take away the power of the second they are easier to manage. The "politician" part means they still have power over others, which makes them the worst. Explosive diarrhea is just a reminder that Taco Bell is not the value that you think it is.
@georgetakei WHY ARE YOU MAKING US CHOOSE???
@georgetakei huh! First vote. Dumb luck.
@georgetakei
We can take a pill for explosive diarrhea.
@georgetakei The billionaire man babies fund and enable the malignant narcissist politicians. Fix the root problem, and kill two birds with one stone, I say.
@georgetakei why did you post a poll with three identical answers?
@georgetakei the first two options are the same people tho
@georgetakei at least with explosive diarrhea you can potentially drop a few pounds.
@georgetakei the first and second option often overlap. #SpaceKaren
@georgetakei Billionaire man babies have a tendency to become malignant politicians these days—they are the chicken before the wildly incompetent egg.
@georgetakei Hmmm...multiple choice? 🤔
@georgetakei the diarrhea can be cured with treatment.
@georgetakei That was a tough choice between 1️⃣ and 2️⃣, but I went with 1️⃣, because ultimately, they are what encouraged 2️⃣. 🤷‍♂️
The real answer, however, is 4️⃣: the voters and sycophants who support them. They are only the symptoms. The voters and sycophants are the illness.
@georgetakei Malignant narcissist politicians are pretty terrible but they would do much less damage without billionaire man babies to fund them
@georgetakei Billionaires shouldn't exist.
@georgetakei I would happily have explosive diarrhoea for life if it meant the first two options no longer existed
