  • because capitalism is not about the workers, not about the quality of the product, and not about helping anyone. It doesn't give a shit about anyone except whichever monkey is on top, and would argue vehemently against the suggestion that it should.

    I'd go so far as to say that what it IS about, is not being human. Perhaps it's about becoming a dragon? but even that implies some degree of personality. Capitalism is unrelenting, banal evil, for the sake of being evil, with an endless litany of specious lies to justify its utterly retarded bullshit.

  • it's hilarious the way they all get bugs up their asses about irrelevant problems and then dream up these punitive solutions that wind up killing their business, because they're autist morons. The executive class is the biggest single problem in capitalism - the idea that one supergenius exists who knows best how to run your special little snowflake? It's pathetic.

  • This is it. The stock market is pretty much the reason everything goes to shit. It's run in rampantly criminal fashion in the first place, just a meat grinder for money, and if our legal system weren't run in such a fast and loose, revolving-door echo chamber fashion, someone would have clamped down on it years ago. Why this isn't more obvious to people is stunning to me.

    It's like religion. It corrupts you, makes you angry, sanctimonious and blind, and hence stupid. Avoid it like the plague it is.

  • I mean, there's a real point there, but it's expressed feebly, and by a simpleton - or at least through a language barrier. When you perceive anything, it's through your biological filters; we do not see what is "really there" but only what is relevant to our reality. The same is true of cameras - they're designed to capture a similar range to what our nervous system sees. But to say "there is no real picture" is to import philosophical concepts which are not appropriate to the discussion of photography, which presumes a pristine state to be captured and recorded. You stop playing the "photography" game when you drag in concepts that you can't simply "point" at and "shoot".
