  1. These motherf*king late stage capitalist monopolies have adopted a new template to delay action and fool the major public to isolate people who actually care or work on things... just further proof that practices in late stage capitalism in US are morally bankrupt and dragging society into mud pits of despair. At least the change in strategy signals that they are feeling the heat, but it's just so shameless it just disgusts me. People will call me a commie and whatever crap that I've been called before, but I'll say it again because this seems to every now and then get traction and then die out right afterwards - what the US really needs is an end to corporate lobbying, a breakdown of monopolies and monopolistic practices, more regulations and regulatory bodies with teeth, and a general acceptance that even if late stage capitalism and letting it run it's course might have some attractive points to it (aka the infinitesimal chances of you getting filthy rich by being part of a tiny elite), the cost of that is that everyone else suffers from a range of abusive practices. I've been saying this for several years how aghast I constantly am while reading about US politics, corporate practices and whatnot... there are some stuff that regular citizens have to deal with in the US that citizens in far poorer nations just don't. So we keep wondering how the heck the richest nation in the world by far can have reached such conditions. Which tends to lead to the no-no word for US liberals and conservatives, and to a point politics in general - wage gap, income inequality, power imbalance. Macro scale, right to repair issues are a part of that. And I've been growing increasingly more inclined to believe in some sort of coincidental or not conspiracy with news being constantly co-opted by shallow and clickbait discussions around political division and tribalism as a form of steering the discussion away and diverting attention from topics like that not to mess with the status quo. The core issue of most US problems I hear about are imbalance of power and inequality. The loss of citizens rights, the loss of privacy, the control of every aspect of citizens' lives, government action and spending, at the hands of a tiny number of huge corporations and conglomerates, private companies basically enslaving people with debt by charging absurd sums for services and products that amounts to basic human rights... am I going insane here?
