This grosses me out the most. He isn't even having romantic relationships with the mothers where a spell of passion ends up with children. No, in a few cases, he literal went up to his own employees offering to pay them to be single mothers for his own demonic ego.

Wealth cannot be detangled from power, so yeah, this is dead on.

We can have democracy or we can have billionaires, we cannot have both

I know why they did it, because it was the only way to ensure that the tsar dynasty wasn't reinstalled... But killing innocent kids will never sit right with me.

Too true. Queue meme:
"Capitalism Horrors persist, but so do I"

I pray they do so peacefully, or if they refuse, that we can do what we must without losing our humanity.

The Soviets are a cautionary tale: they were forced to slay monsters and demons to gain their freedom, but somewhere in the process of slaying monsters they became monsterous themselves. That isn't a critique of communism, but rather that war can turn men into demons.

Their lawyers, no joke, argues that "the public can see the lake. That's access". They even have a fucking stone plaque that says "private lake, stay on the sidewalk" at the adjacent park.

Hypothetically, if someone were writing a fictional story about a Luigi type of hero in that situation, what would be the quickest and fastest way to destroy that stone plaque?

I'm not wasting my mental energy to create more profit for the shareholders if I'm not directly incentivised to do so.

Especially when those very same capitalists use their wealth and power to attack democracy and public institutions! Every dollar of profit I make for a modern day (wage) slaver does harm to my soul.

Anarchism is never an answer, it's usually willful ignorance about there being any problems.

AnCaps drive me nuts. They want to dismantle democratic institutions while simultaneously licking the boots of unelected institutions.

No, we cannot think like that. It is true that fascism cannot be beat peacefully, but we should never want them to suffer. We should always strive to crush their fascist oligarchy with as little suffering ss possible.

"Whoever would be a slayer of monsters must take heed, or they may become the very monsters they slay... For when one peers into the abyss, the abyss peers back into thee" -FN

LLMs can be great for translating pseudo code into real code or creating boiler plate or automating tedious stuff, but ChatGPT is terrible at actual software engineering.

She's a lawyer, so you won't see her advocating for a violent uprising

Ah, yes, because the Nazis were famously beaten by lawyers...

We know from history that fascism cannot be beaten peacefully. We cannot appease or argue our way out of this problem.

Luigi did something. We need more Luigis, but I fear we will get peasant-brain brown shirts instead

Exactly. Republicans don't have a filibuster proof super majority in the Senate so Dems could filibuster the Senate to death to block Trump appointments from being voted on like Republicans did to Dems, but no, rich white liberals aren't hurt by Trump's fascism so they don't care

Like Peasant-brains defending oligarch billionaires or attacking socialists who try to help them

Iterate. After some operations, you have five chimps who are ready to punch any chimp who would dare touch the stepladder (or curse Henry Symeonis) -- and none of them knows why.

Super interesting. Is this why peasant-brains defend capitalism, our undemocratic two party system, and the oligarchy so intensely?

Decide what service and/or goods you want to sell, start a business, calculate costs, sell your products, make a profit or hopefully at least break even.

You described markets, not capitalism. You can have markets without capitalism such as worker co-ops or publicly owned companies. Both of which are examples of market socialism

Only 28% of American adults voted for this. I voted against fascist every chance I could over the last 8 years and now I am trying to move my family out of the US to escape this neonazi dumpster fire.... So please don't hate us all

Rude. You're not wrong, but insulting us doesn't help.

Does managing those problems improve the material conditions of the planet and humanity? If not, then I am not sure you can say it produces value. If you work for a company owned by the 0.1% then your labor does the opposite, the more wealth you create for the oligarchs the more power they have to destroy the planet and democracy
