    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism

    Corporatism developed during the 1850s in response to the rise of classical liberalism and Marxism, as it advocated cooperation between the classes instead of class conflict. Corporatism became one of the main tenets of fascism, and Benito Mussolini's fascist regime in Italy advocated the total integration of divergent interests into the state for the common good;[4] however, the more democratic neo-corporatism often embraced tripartism.[5][6]

  • If you know any history involving US activity across the planet, you'd know that being a genocide embracing war criminal comes with being a US president, it's part of the job.

    Climate Safe Pensions

    With more than $46 Trillion in assets worldwide, pension funds are one of the largest institutional investors in fossil fuels.

    Given the growing financial risk facing fossil fuel companies, it is no longer a responsible investment to put our hard earned pension dollars into an industry that is wreaking havoc on our planet and frontline communities. Nearly 30% of fossil fuel industry shares are held by pension funds – with as much financial power as pension funds hold, they could be a force to reckon with in the battle to address the climate crisis.

  • "I hate taking the stairs 4 floors down. I guess I could try jumping down from a window!"

  • it just turns the cosmos inside out like a sock . Don't do it.

  • No, especially not the ones who need to (Americans).

  • The capitalism part is culture too. You're just describing the traditional capitalist practices of treating women like commodities to use as a type of fuckable home appliance. You're using cultural language to describe commodity trade, inheritance, reproduction of human capital, property ownership, and the fact that only men were "real people" who could own capital.

  • The rich: dodges taxes like the Olympic gold medalists of dodging taxes

  • Human meat is unsustainable even if it could be allowed like some muscle donation. Adding in capitalist incentives would make "human trafficking" reach new levels horror.

  • The horror that is factory farming only exists because of profit motives. Remove the profit motive and whole thing comes tumbling down (because it’s just unsustainable).

    Nope. The horror of factory farming exists because herding/ranching exists. It's the descendant, the result of the transition from extensive herding (which is also horrible) to intensive herding (which is obviously horrible). The CAFOs are the ones making profits by economies of scale. Most of the animal products are from CAFOs. End those and it's going to get really surprising :)

    Profits existed way before, with pastoralism. The "livestock" or "living capital" is a form of primitive accumulation, part of the formation of capitalism. The profit incentive and the GROWTH incentive goes deep in pastoralist culture. The notion that it's in any sense non-profit is absolutely incorrect.

  • The problem with meat is not that we eat it, but that we eat too much of it.

    This isn't how it works. Consuming meat and cheese and butter and other animal products has been made into a conspicuous consumption deal for a long time, it's a status symbol, obviously important to pastoralist cultures and their industrial descendants (like The West).

    You can't do "low meat" without first attacking the status power of meat.

    People would go crazy and riot over reducing it, as it would most likely manifest as:

    1. Rationing of meat (I've lived in this, in Romania, a long time ago) - possible, but hard, not really something that works in capitalist market economics.
    2. Raising the prices (which is something that the animal farmers would love) - which would cause all sorts of ..."so meat is only for rich people? FUCK THAT!" reactions.

    If you don't do those, it's just going to be imported.

    If you ban imports, you're going to get a meat mafia. Meat bootleggers. The "leather underground" mafia and terrorist organization.

    You may actually get to see this, since the prices are destined to shoot up eventually, since it's so unsustainable.

  • it's called grocery bag fission

  • The term is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadgetbahn

    Gadgetbahn is a neologism that refers to a public transport concept or implementation that is touted by its developers and supporters as futuristic or innovative, but in practice is less feasible, reliable, and more expensive than traditional modes such as buses, trams and trains. It is a portmanteau of the English word "gadget" and the German word Bahn, meaning "train" or "railway".[2][3]
