  • It's not a contradiction at all. Yes CEOs are the main beneficiary of the system but they're still accountable to shareholders who run on pure capitalism. There's plenty of examples of CEOs trying to do the right thing only to get sued by the shareholders then kicked out of their jobs. Nothing about corporations inherently needs to be done in a capitalist way, except the fact that publicly traded companies are legally required by law to run as capitalistically as possible, and if you don't accept Venture Capital or go public, good luck getting anywhere in this system.

    Hell, basically the entire premise of syndicalism is to put workers in control of the workplace and let things naturally evolve from there. Once you remove the core pillar holding capitalism up, everything will fall down one by one like dominos. If you want to see a fraction of how that works just look at places with high unionization compared to ones without and it's like a completely different world.

  • There was a thread about this earlier on feddit de and they were acting predictably shitty about it. The English version of the thread wasn't too bad, but of course as with all things political, if you want the truth out you're going to need to translate what they say in their native tongue.

  • Even more funny that the oil companies could have transitioned into renewable and become the kings of that field, but they care more about maintaining fossil fascism than do the money so they just did greenwashing instead. Now they're going to get left completely in the dust.

  • I will add "a fucking chatroom where they ban you for political reasons and there's at least 3 accounts testing the water for how much nazism they can get away with and if you report them to the mods/admins they say they don't see it and then ban you for wasting their time."

  • Oil companies: AHA! I was greenwashing the entire time! DRILL BABY DRILL

    China: Don't care, we're rolling out renewables that will compete you out of the market

    Oil companies: [frustrated crying face] noo you cant do that what about our profits?

  • It's based in rugged hypercapitalist bootstrap thinking. If something is broken just do it yourself! Even though that's never realistic, and even if it were, no one person can or should be expected to do everything.

  • Anti-semitism is so built into German government and culture that they genuinely think they're good guys for defending Zionism.

    I'm sick of having to explain this every single time some German comes along and gets offended that I would imply the links between Zionism and Nazism, but the Nazis literally supported Zionism because to them it was a method of getting Jewish people out of the country.
