In feudal times, the rich didn’t pay taxes and the peasants worked until they died. Now, the rich don’t pay taxes and the peasants work until they die—but at least you have Netflix!
@godpod Aw man, i don't even have netflix ;(

Ahem...your agrarian business analysis is flawed, because of these data points, pointing to where capitalism is a neat thing, and slavery is a net positive, and war makes more money for the rich, so that's cool.

Or, fuck right off.

@godpod I can’t afford Netflix :(
@godpod bread and circuses. and we've got some bad news about the bread
@godpod Netflix is the new Opium for the people
@godpod sometimes I think that the rich only gave up slavery because it was cheaper to make the poor responsible for their own food, housing, and infirmary in old age.
@godpod Now with new and improved ads! Buy before you die, and pretend you're rich! (Taxes may apply.)
@godpod Because hope for a better world only exists in fiction.
Why, O Lord, are you testing us so mercilessly?
@godpod The only difference is, that medieval peasants had a lot more spare time :D
@godpod
The greatest enemy of democracy are satisfied slaves

@godpod watching shows about how heroes fight the system!
@godpod John Lennon had something to say about that
