Late-stage capitalism? That was last week. Welcome to extinction-stage capitalism.
@aral Not going to start a huge debate here, I just have to get something off my chest. My personal emotion, not saying others have to agree, but here goes:
"Late-stage capitalism _fill_in_gripe_" looks, to me, just like rubber-necking at a highway pile-up. A lot of the world, including all the *isms seem a bit "late stage" these days. Changing the course of our societies does not hang on any *ism, or "system". It all boils down to bad faith actors (people and decision-making bodies)1/*

@hakona

When I see comments like this ("it's not any 'ism', the system isn't the problem, it's just bad people") I assume the poster knows next to nothing about actual #capitalism

Am I wrong?

@aral

@hakona

Great, I'd like to hear what you know about capitalism and why you think it's not a problem.

@aral

@RD4Anarchy @aral Sorry, I'm not up for that right now, I just wanted to get off my chest a feeling of despair I get when I hear "system" or "(commu-/social-/capital-)ism".
Fascism/Nazism is another thing. They definitely need to be diagnosed and rooted out
