I now have the hilarious image in my head of a toddler giving their granny a pat down (image of one in case the term isn’t familiar to everyone), thanks! 😂

E: replied to wrong person, oops! 😂

The whole entire thing.

Competition is unnecessary.

Humans are not in a battle for survival, there is enough for everyone.

It is artificial bullshit created and enforced by capitalists to make them as much money and power as possible.

Competition, by definition creates and breeds and encourages inequality and oppression of others.

There is no good reason to cling on to it, never mind try to base a plan for a better society on it

Extreme wealth disparity is not due to a lack of taxes, but rather a lack of competition.

No.

No no no.

This isn’t personal (assuming you wrote this, you mention your site, so I’m assuming) but I’m just so sick and fucking tired of people thinking they’ve seriously analysed the state of affairs of the world, but not only refuse to even name capitalism, let alone point to it as the core problem, but worse, insist on the nonsensical idea that we can and should fix things from within it and under its rules (and in your example, using one of its most toxic and destructive elements), instead of realising the only way to free ourselves is to abolish it entirely, as if capitalism is some sort of natural order we simply can’t exist outside of.

I don’t know if you meant it to, but your analysis gives "an"cp vibes in how close it gets to getting it, and then how fast and how far it eventually veers off course.

Whatever the case. I think you’re close enough to benefit from exploring further if you think you can set your biases aside and sit with the discomfort of unlearning the constructs you’ve been made to believe are natural and unavoidable, otherwise you’re just going to keep skirting the issue but never hitting the point.

Check fake TV talking heads covering him, Cuamo, Shapiro, Fox News etc

Oh right, those leftists lmfao…

Good.

They need to fear for their lives in direct relation to how many other people they’ve forced to fear for theirs.

he also had it all DUE TO CAPITALISM

As far as I’m aware he was not part of the owning class, he just had a good paying job, that does not make him a benefactor of capitalism.

I see a lot of leftist political whores try to smear him based on his class…

Says the person who brought his class up… 🤔

Look, I’m not trying to have a go, but honestly this is completely derailing from my point - health is not a virtue, nor is it in our control (despite what abled people love to believe), and being in ill health and or becoming disabled is only “losing it all” because of capitalism and abled supremacy, NOT because sick and disabled people’s lives no longer have value (which is what the original comment implies).

He lost it all because of capitalism.

I’ve played Rabbit Escape but looks like it’s only for android and pc

How about Slow and steady not at all with the “real estate race”? Sadly, we have been programmed to flip houses and chase immediate gains. see housing as a commodity and investment opportunity rather than the human right it is, and which it is wholly immoral to withhold for profit.

Unless you can ask a straight man how many guys he’s slept with, it isn’t gender neutral, no matter how resistant to this fact you are.

E: the fact that neither of you give a shit about the people telling you the term isn’t gender neutral, doesn’t apply to us, and that we don’t feel comfortable with you using it to speak to or about us says it all. No matter how much mental gymnastics you do to convince yourself otherwise you are the ones choosing to be the problem instead of actually listening to others and showing some basic respect. It’s an easy fix, too - all you have to do is give a minimal fuck about others.

Hey…

Folks

Friends

Comrades

Everyone

People

Pals

You motley crew

Weirdos

Siblings

Fuckers

…how you doing, wanna go to the movies?

(this is by no means exhaustive list, the point is there are plenty of existing and perfectly acceptable alternatives, pick one, or more, and get comfortable with it)

The literal meaning isn’t gender neutral, but in actual practice, it 100% is.

Unless you can ask a straight man how many guys he’s slept with, it isn’t gender neutral, no matter how resistant to this fact you are.

Yup.

DNC won’t change unless heads roll

It’s serving its purposes, why would it.

Capitalism, which liberalism, much like conservativism, champions above all else, and which will inevitably decay in to fascism every single time, will cost us the Earth.

Always focus on the core cause, as well as on those who enable and benefit from it.

There’s only so long you can pretend not to hear when they tell you exactly who they are.

Anyone who still claims to be against fascism and considers themselves in any way left leaning, and still supports not only democrats, but the idea that the system can somehow be reformed or fixed from within, is either in complete denial or completely full of shit (because they are neither antifascist nor left leaning).

He was too busy endorsing Harris…

Why insist on continuing to spend all your focus and resources on participating in a system that is functioning exactly as it was designed to, and expecting different results?

Practice self and community care.
