Our global Market Capitalist system is wholly incompatible with "We all benefit when we all succeed." It punishes that and rewards the opposite by design.

Our global economy is about getting mooooaaaaar than the person/nation on the other side of the table, and about exploiting people.

The core principle of market capitalism is to give the people hoarding capital most new capital that is generated, while separating the people that generate that capital from the capital they generate. It's a vicious cycle meant to keep power, which capital is, safe from the unwashed masses/capital livestock.

Mutual benefit is what market capitalism is designed to prevent.

He's not even the founder.

Not to mention that billionaires are fancy lads and lasses expecting to be waited on hand and foot. When their operations and Security people, people much more generally competent then them in every conceivable real world way, no longer has use for them or their paychecks, they will become their bunkers very, very quickly, especially because wealthy people don't know how to share and will treat them as staff and not people, let alone friends.

I can't imagine them finding security that meets their standards for employment that also lacks opportunism. You don't agree to protect Bezos from the hoards of Bezos' victims without being selfish to begin with.

Literally me at company meetings.

They're really comfortable telling me to shut up at them. I consider it victory.

Market Capitalism has poisoned the very core of humanity, civilization, and literally the COMMUNal environment we all rely on from one breath to the next.

Good thing the market capitalists are so fucking confident that the solution is... going harder on market capitalism. We'll just merge, monopolize, and lay off our way into human happiness and equilibrium, won't we?

That's why the owners propagating this system are building luxury bunker compounds in places like New Zealand, because they're planning to clean up their mess and have confidence in a bright future!

A non-profit in the same way OpenAI is a non-profit.

"Buy me senpai!"

Hard pass from Musk to be sure.

As someone who would be open to modifying my mind, not with shitty Musk tech. Not with cars rated like his and rockets that fail regularly.

Their business was to to make robotic cleaners, not to get swallowed by a conglomerate. Like so many other businesses and entire economic sectors, it's more important to increase short term profit through economic schemes than by delivering a product or service, and the customers and employees suffer for it.

Market Capitalism is eating itself.

Im all for fighting if you still have some. I hope I'm wrong and I'll be there in the streets supporting your movement and glad for it if I am.

The narrative of power is that there isn't a problem at all/there isn't a problem caused by the current rigged market capitalist system that said system isn't the best candidate to solve. And it's defended by victims of it so far into the sunk cost fallacy of it they'll fight to defend that false narrative. That's where we're at.

I primaried and phone banked for Sanders twice, to nothing but ridicule from regular Americans for calling him too extreme and unrealistic. I supported Occupy Wall Street which was also met by little more than ridicule by those that should have joined.

It's not their fault, we've all been propagandized from birth through the curriculum the oligarchs inform from K-Colleges of economics, and the media they own to claim "the free (unregulated, rigged) market is self-correcting and virtuous, and anyone who doesn't thrive under it deserves their suffering." But the fact remains, the victims of this system are also its most numerous blind defenders.

I'm not sure how reframing would change this reality. In my experience, the more informed about the situation, the more hopeless one recognizes it is. But as I said, Rome always falls in the end, and even the 3,000 billionaires on Earth can't prevent entropy with their propaganda.

It's a tragedy, and it's sad to watch though.

Slaves. These people are slaves.

The US competes only with China on how many prisoners we have in the world. And we blow every other nation on Earth away including China in per capita prisoners. Land of the "free," lol.

Who would have thought for profit prisons and legal slavery could cause such a thing?! Everyone. Everyone with 2+ brain cells to rub together, the politicians and lobbying companies knew exactly what they were doing in the 80s and 90s, they just didn't care about the ethics of it, only the profit projections.

There is no depth to the capitalist's depravity in pursuit of mooooaaaar profit. Don't let the expensive suits meant to imply refinement and civility fool you, they are single minded, insatiable beasts, ravenous for the taste of blood capital.

This is what the US does to heros that speak truth against the owner class.

The only person to pay for the Panama Papers and the global oligarch's financial tax schemes they revealed was the lead journalist who broke it, and She paid with her life in a violent, sending a message to others who would cross the global oligarchs way.

We have no power unless we rebel as entire economic classes, and there's too many self hating, true believer, "love me senpai oligarch" class traitors for that to ever happen.

That said, collapse is inevitable, entropy is absolute, and Rome always falls under the weight of its own corruption in the end. The snake of capitalism is choking on its own tail with no new room to grow/metastasize, which is the crux of their entire rigged con-game, and my only hope is that something better is made out of the ruins. Even that is a faint hope though. For every kind, empathetic person, there seems to be a sociopath opportunist that wants to manipulate and enslave them out of material selfishness.
