I just want to enjoy what time I have left on this planet. Help others where I can, but not be beholden to anyone. Credit where credit is due - capitalism has solved scarcity. There are more than enough resources to make sure every human being is fed and housed. Countless millions suffered in the process of getting there while a select few sociopaths (and their offspring) reaped the vast majority of the spoils. The only thing preventing all of humanity from sharing in those rewards are the mentally ill hoarders who feel nothing as people starve while they count their unspendable amounts of wealth.
I’m not particularly for or against any specific school of economic thought. Seems like no matter what, it’s the selfish fucks that get the rewards. So capitalism, in some form, may be our best bet. If the vaunted Invisible Hand wants to step in and do a little of that fabled self-correction, I’m here for it. But it seems more interested in giving itself a reach around while the inbred dragons play games with our lives.
Commissars and pin-striped bosses roll the dice
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price?
Sounds like we have the shared passion of wanting to tear down capitalism.
