Is a frogs ass watertight?
I’m not sure but since you took the time to ask, I’d assume it’s a big fat “hell yea”
just think about this for a second,
under CAPTIALISM:
the children who will benefit the most from the war
will never fuckin ever ever ever have to fight in it
if that doesnt answer your question..
nothing will..
didnt read the article didnt feel like getting pissed off...those articles come off
as though the elite are low key throwing it in our face..
that they have us so divided and conquered and there is nothing we can do about it...
capitalism simply cannot exist without an impoverished class to capitalize off of....
which is why
under this form of gluttonous capitalism homelessness will always be a thing

I call this place The United Corporations of America
That’s all it is, and that’s all it’ll ever be.
All isms and religions place their people ahead of others, the best you can ask for is asking are their components built in that allows upward mobility. Capitalism does a decent job at this, in its purest form, but with racism and unequal education, this often becomes compromised. But all systems need checks and balances to limit corruption, in to there words no system has a monopoly on good components or bad.
yes just like as i call it the plug warz or cartel warz,,its not our war but the bullshit they create & keep up trickles down on us...
Born into a system we ain’t never ask for
Capitalism is a giant with an iron fist. The tighter it grips the more that slips through its fingers
Some of this is BS. Capitalism is a way for many of us to xhange our circumstances. Unfortunately, many of us aren't willing to learn and/ or apply what is learned to take advantage of this capitalist society.
There is zero reason anyone on this board can give for not investing and having an investment account. If you can afford to be online with a phone, laptop, or desktop, then you have the means to begin investing in some capacity.
In a capitalist society you have to put in the work.

I’ve been saying this more and more as of late. Capitalism is putting what I like to call “the squeeze” on everyone.
Prices are up. Food, gas, housing, everything.
Which in turn means mental illness is up, depression, anxiety, desperation, drugs, suicide.. all up.
Gonna be a bumpy ride for a bit.
Name one organized religion, ism, or government that this statement doesn't hold true? Fact is, anytime you organize large amount of humans there will be corruption, the challenge is how are we going to reform these institutions in ways to mitigate the inherent corruption and civil rights violation.
Interesting you say that, I learned on Reddit a month ago frogs can breath underwater through their ass Link
Hey
Capitalism is NOT really a bad thing...
its like a gun...
it can be used to do harm or it can be used to protect...
there are two forms of capitalism
Gluttonous Capitalism and Humane Capitalism.
I dont know if any of yall watch the show Billions,
but that is what they are touching on this season.
that past seasons dealt with pure wall street gluttony.
this season appears to want to go the humane capitalism route

The biggest flaw in capitalism is that it is structured to keep growing with very few components allowing it to contract. So instead of being able to grow during prosperity and shrink during recessions, it is prone to only growing and then collapsing instead of shrinking. This volatile and unstable nature of capitalism is at the front center of many military conflicts and wars, and till we find ways to stabilize it, many see this as a ticking time bomb that can destroy the world as we know it.
Exactly!
Capitalism is really just GDP worship. The higher it goes the better life is, or at least that's the theory.
The problem is that war drives GDP sky high. So do stock buy backs, food waste, drug addiction, medical debt, mindless consumerism, and many other hazardous things.
Suppose you have an 18 year old who lives in Texas and works at McDonald's for federal minimum wage. They have very limited earning and buying power so they don't raise the GDP that much.
Put that same 18-year-old on the front lines and all of a sudden they become the ultimate consumer! The uniform raises GDP. So do the weapons, the bullets, the planes trains and trucks that get them to base, food rations, etc.
The tricky part is giving that soldier enough money to make their life seem better than fry cooking, but not so much that they can get away from the military system.
However, if that 18-year-old does get past that system they become the carrot for every other 18 year old fry cook.
There’s no stabilizing it from here. The solution requires those in power to cease control and redistribute that wealth back into the world they attained it from. That’s not happening because there’s no cap on human greed. Not only should there be regulation on greed but in fact the adverse is true.
Once we allowed private banks to control our interested via inflation and deflation, the flood gates were open. They’ve squeezed the people (and are currently squeezing) into homelessness.
Agreed. It holds true in communism as well.
When you get a fixed waged in a fixed system the only way to get more is through the black market.
Suppose your job is to go door to door handing out a chicken for every pot. Suddenly you run into somebody who wants two chickens so you sell him one under the table and tell your boss that it was "spoiled goods".
Eventually you progressed to a point where you can't explain the number of missing chickens, so you pay off your boss to declare entire shipments as "spoiled goods". Maybe you start killing crows and passing it off as chicken meat. Maybe you sell chickens that are actually spoiled.
Pretty soon the Communist system itself spins the entire chicken market into unregulated hyper capitalism.
The opposite is happening in the USA. That's how the whole sharing economy came about and why companies are working so hard to crush it.
Some would argue that reforms to the stock market, which includes a.i. software, as well as controlled resets, are both devices to help stabilize the market.
But my take is, capitalism is almost too good when it comes to growth. The real problem is that we live on a finite planet where endless growth is not possible, and now that we have gotten to the point where resources are being depleted how long is it before people are going to start talking about population management/control. Everyone wants a bigger faster car, and a better cell phone for everyone, but no one realizes that the more we make, the more we sell, the more we sell the more prosperity there is, the more prosperity, the more we grow, the more we grow the more stuff we need, the more stuff we need the more we have to rape the earth to get it, the more we rape the planet the faster our demise will occur.
So even without capitalism, as long as we want bigger and better things (mass prosperity) the more we are going to have to deal with rapid growth with reduced resources.
Correct, so in essence it's not the isms, the government, or religions that are inherently evil, its people wanting prosperity, which leads to exponential growth and finally depletion of natural resources.
Keep this in mind when I explore the possibilities of psychedelics, not from a recreational drug perspective, or some hippy shit, but as a way of nullifying some of our conditioning towards over-consumerism and the need for bigger better, and more!
I believe it is the key answer to balance between prosperity and being contempt of what we have.
I will soon make a thread on the subject just to get other people's perspectives, but for now, this thread can be a precursor to understanding the importance of balance and resisting the temptation of overdevelopment and rapid growth.
Nah you're making an excuse for a system that needs the extreme poor to have the extreme rich
Funny you should mention that.
I don't do hallucinogenics very often, but three years ago I had the rare combination of free time and some decent mushrooms.
Near the end of the trip I went back to my bedroom and it almost felt like being in jail. My shelves look like bars in my possession seem like a concrete wall about the collapse.
That feeling stuck with me after the experience so I finally decided to read the Marie kondo book I downloaded off bgol. The pages spoke to me and by the end of the week roughly half of everything I own was either donated, thrown away, or given away.
Once it was gone I felt a freedom that outweighed almost anything. Even money!
3 years later it's time to do it again.
Not the mushrooms necessarily, but an interior designer who specializes in maximizing small spaces. Done all I can on my own, now it's time to call the professionals.
Then your task should be comparing it to a system that works better. Again my argument isn't capitalism is good or evil, it's capitalism that suffers from the same ill that plague all other governments, isms, and religions, that is corruption, due to greed and overconsumption. To make your hypotheses work, you should also include the things that makes only capitalism inherently evil or overly dependent on poor people.
What you say is true. But, the question is, why is capitalism the choice? Second, why not work and share all of this shit. You are born on planet earth. The basic is your human right, but with capitalism that will never happen. In 1960 we, humans, had enough technology to feed everyone on the planet three square meals a day. That is a population over what we have today. So, this is 2020, why are there still people dying from starvation? Its bullshit, its avarice, its the sociopathic motherfuckers that run this bitch. If you believe in David Icke and others, it is demons who live off your blood, sweat and tears. However you believe, you should believe that every living being on this planet has the right to be and should have a right to their birthright, free housing, free water, and electricity. Yeah, I said electricity, because as a human, and if you believe in GOD, then everything on the planet belongs to everybody. The natural resources it takes to make electricity belongs to us.
There is no comparison to communism. It's a vastly better system. We started with communilism then fuedalism and then capitalism. Capitalism helped spur technological advances but at whose expense? Socialism has worked elsewhere without Western sabotage
Because that wouldn't allow for individualism and people are greedy. Thats the system we began with. Communilism
Why do you feel communism is a better system, and can you give me some examples of this in the real world? BTW communism was not out before feudalism and capitalism, so I think you better get your facts right.
I didn't say Communism was out before them.. I said communilism.
Redistribution of wealth. Sharing in the land and production. People work and share. Nobody is working 40 hours while someone who does nothing gets rich off their labor.
Does it really though?
About 20 or 30 years ago labor activist calculated that if Michael Jordan gave up 3% of his Nike payout it would provide enough money for Nike sweatshop workers to enjoy a decent standard of living.
Assuming this is true and Michael Jordan was okay with that agreement he would still be extremely rich, but now the workers are no longer extremely poor. Replace Michael Jordan with Philip Knight and now you've solved even more problems while still keeping the private yacht industry very much in business.
I would also point out that the richest countries in Europe also have some of the lowest poverty rates despite having no shortage of millionaires.
Capitalism brought the world to the point of post scarcity. The only issue now is distribution
