    A comment on lemmy. Never need to read it, it will always have the same conclusion “capitalism bad”. No matter the topic.

    TL;DR of lemmy: capitalism bad, now you don’t need to open the app at all.

      Or you could read the full statement: “Capitalism without proper government regulation.” But that’s a lot of words, I get it.

        To be honest I’m getting tired of electing people who promise to provide those rules only to watch the Capitalists get the green light to exploit us further.

          That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

          He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

          He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

            That’s opening Pandora’s box. We could end up with a White Christian Ethnostate as easily as we could get an Oligarchy or Market Socialism.

              The White Christian Nationals are about to ascend in a few weeks. And the first thing they are trying to do is deport a bunch of people who are predominantly non white, depending on how scientificly hispanics are regarded.

              And they seem to be following that up with some facist policies to favor the oliigarchs.

              So if things play out according to their published playbook…

                There’s a difference between having some in government and having a government based on them.

                Why would they deport slave labour?

      I mean, it’s true. Most people don’t like The Game of Monopoly.

      Oh look you read it, you just refuse to engage with it in good faith.
