I drink your milkshake! a metaphor for capitalism

[rickyb]

If you can't identify and accurately define the problems, you can't come up with good solutions. That is the drawback of collectivist groupthink. The fact that incompetent people can thrive and attain positions of power is a human issue, distinct from any particular economic structure. Capitalism is as prone, maybe even more so due to how easy it makes it for everyone to survive, to this problem as any other system. Communism/socialism has proven to make it easy for incompetent and malicious people to attain power, which is why that system fails much more quickly.

they have identify the problem but you keep saying no.

they have identify the problem but you keep saying no.

Saying capitalism is imploding is a neither precise or accurate enough to qualify as a definition of a problem that you could make meaningful solutions to. If anything, it deflects from the real problems, and gets people to focus their attention on made up nonsense so they'll ignore the real problems.

We have a sustainable economy, but what we also have is people who are very good at gaming the system, and no good strategies from preventing them from doing so. It won't matter what economic system we come up with, because there will always be people who figure out ways to take more than they contribute. Capitalism accounts, to some degree, for human nature. The alternatives we have come up with historically either are more extremely authoritarian, or depend on everyone acting altruistically, which immediately devolves into extreme authoritarianism.

nothing will stop jeff bezos until he has every american in their 20s living at home with their parents

 

[rickyb]

jeff bezos will use divide and conquer tactics like racism, immigration, religion to keep americans bewildered until every last american in their 20s is living at home with their parents; completely unable to affording housing on their own

 

[rickyb]

in the short term, and so far history has only been about short terms, the weak are the victims of the oppressors

but in teh long term, the oppressors will also be victims of their own doing.



its still up to us to decide what the future history books will say

No clue maybe the pentagon doesn’t want people knowing they are the Earth’s Greatest Enemy and that we need to destroy America and capitalism to save the world from ourselves.
