  • Fascism cannot exist without capitalism. Capital is what supports and strengthens fascism - the idea that business is more important than the people. This sounds like how the world has always been but it wasn't until the 60s, at least in the US, when the business leaders wanted to stop unions, make more money, stop the possibilities of environmentalists from hurting profits, etc. The pushback from the people in the 60s spawned the Civil Rights and threatened to derail the business first approach America had gotten used to from after the Depression. The war years gave too much money and power to too few people and things like the Business Plot simmered under the surface of our grandparents' generation. Two generations of propaganda that made social and community based governing sound villainous has brought us to a full on fascist revolution slow burning through wealthy democracies.

  • Yeah, but his way to relax and get away from stress was to code. Organizing game jams is a whole other world of stress. The different level of stress is like that Mitchell Hedburg joke, "You're a great chef! Can you farm?"

  • Puerto Rico has been a key location for companies that want to build in the US but pay like it's Mexico. The EPA doesn't exercise the same oversight in territories like it does in states so the people and land are taken advantage of whenever it's cheap. Here's a fun short film from MST3k and it isn't the only one. Puerto Rico has been abused by moneyed interests for a while now.
