  1. DOGE is now an actual government department. WTF is this timeline?

  2. Last time I was this early America wasn't afraid of an educated proletariat.
    725
  3. Cargill, Tyson, Smithfield own 95% of U.S meat production (industrial slaughter and distribution). Farmers today are either serfs or multinational corporations.
    467
  4. Being unjustly smug while running a scam is a tradition as old as capitalism. The tech bros don't know much. But they learned that.
    352
  5. Cops have massive immunity to consequences because they are the ones who will violently enforce the whims of the rich from the will of the rest of us. That's it.

  6. I keep running into millennials who say they are autistic in the same way 4chan defined it. It's so gross.
    235
  7. Anyone who has tried to use YouTubes search function knows these algorithms don't care at all about showing us what "we are interested in"

  8. Alphabet is a monopoly. They don't have to care

  9. The only winner in the digital casino is the casino owner.

  10. 99% of economic growth is being sucked up by the top 10% of incomes(the top 1% takes over half of what goes to the top 10%). Over half the country has gotten poorer over the last decade. These two are blind to power and it shows. The majority feel bad because the basic necessities of life are artificially and perniciously paywalled by private actors whose only goal is personal profit maximizing.

  11. ​ @tessalister1226 Legally doesn't mean anything when you don't know the law and you definitely don't care about it's very selective and pernicious enforcement.

  13.  @DebM88  and here we see the peasant spouting the falsehoods of their lords claim to wealth and power.

  14. ​ @AntechamberAE the wall isn't being built to keep immigrants out. it's to keep you in.

  15.  @taylors4243  which phone software do you use? Apple or Android? I ask because capitalists have freely chosen to restrict you to only those two options.

  16. There is a reason the lottery really likes to tell you when someone wins.
    32
  17. So you are saying the internet search monopoly had trouble trying to break into the already monopolized telecom industry?

  18.  @bigshow771  I mean, black people have known and been telling us that for literal decades. We literally just don't listen when black people say things that don't support the status quo.

  19. Which is one of the reasons our corporate overlords insist these drugs are illegal.

  20. There are war torn nations with fewer homeless people(both total and per capita) than the Anglosphere nations like the U.S, U.K, Canada have. Homeless people exist because the world's richest society leaves access to basic shelter artificially and perniciously paywalled behind private actors whose only goal is personal profit maximizing.

  21. How would that make the already rich even richer? Did your selfish idea even ONCE consider making the rich even richer?!?!?
    27
  22.  @TheAdamConover  this is probably your most out of touch video. Which is a perfect reflection for where modern economics in the West is at.
    24
  23. The rich know it's the just-us system. Since only just us rich are allowed justice.

  24.  @Ambariffic  economists are considered very thoroughly to ignore the material conditions of the working class
    22
  25. @@Billy_the_fish1 A bank owns your business. You just have a line of credit. You are a debt slave no more than 3 bad months away from homelessness. Never forget that.

  26. If voting actually worked our corporate overlords wouldn't let us do it.
    21
  27. That's a great way to describe it. We are developing a natural immunity to corporate BS.

  28. ​ @stoodmuffinpersonal3144 Not if you make over 700k per year. Then the cops are your tool of violence.

  29. It's a shame California is too small and resource poor to build mass public housing. That would solve a lot of issues. Oh well.

  30.  @jeromegerard3242  Lol I was joking dude. I did "Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children" but for the rich. Which is how our system literally functions.

  31. Artificially and perniciously paywalling your access to basic necessities like shelter is very profitable. That's why you don't have access to mass public housing

  32. ​@@Billy_the_fish1Same reason you haven't. You don't have capital broke boi

  33. Thank you for saying this. For all the anti capitalist talk Adam does you'd think that would have a major focus of this very obvious problem

  34. Vietnam resident here. I pay $1080 per month for a very nice three bedroom two bathroom apartment in the second largest city in the nation. That's an impossible dream for literally everyone that lives in a nation colonized by the British. You can't afford shelter because the rich unilaterally control your housing system. It's that strait forward.

  35. So you are saying the para corps lost 20 years of potential profits because of these mushrooms? Sounds like they need to be banned for the sake of the economy. -Politicians

  37.  @lo-kel  the justification is in their title. LandLORD. That's the only feudal title anyone with a big enough pocket book is allowed to have. Their power only exists because serfs like you have no other option for access to housing.

  38. He was an actor. That played his role as servant to the rich to the great satisfaction of the rich.

  39. It happens to basically everyone who looks into how the systems you live in actually function.
    17
  40. The Anglosphere nations never finished abolishing serfdom. Remember that Everytime you pay your (land)Lord their monthly tithe for you to keep having access to basic shelter.

  41. Empathy and capitalism do not mix. If the rabble had access to drugs that stimulate feelings for other humans. the exploitation required for Capitalist profits would become much harder. Better to keep it banned.

  42. No individual can stand against a system. Your only power as a worker is collective.

  43. Hilariously delusional optimism you have there.

  44. You are absolutely right. As long as production is controlled by the rich to make money for the rich. Homeless and starving people must exist.

  45.  @yds6268  that's the neat part. You don't. Your boss needs it as a paper thin pretense to justify paying you less.

  46.  @danielleo6855  Also racism. Black and Hispanic people were spared from the pre covid opiate death tolls. Since racist medical staff refused to give those drugs to people they thought would "abuse" them.

  49.  @mazzipizzazz  You described the problem perfectly in less than 3 sentences. Amazing after an hour these two couldn't get to the same point.
