    on a scale that would put Capitalism’s to shame

    You say that like capitalism isn’t ongoing massacres and abuse in various forms all day, every day. As if the t-shirt you’re probably wearing wasn’t made by someone who’s exploited in Bangladesh so that minimum wage Americans can still afford to buy it without forgoing food because they’re purposely underpaid by service industry corporations. As though you’re not also talking about some sort of aspirational capitalism where the “free market” actually exists and doesn’t inevitably lead to corruption and tyranny…

    Meanwhile, the richest man in the world is about to secure control over US government agencies because he gave the most money to the current president.

      OOhh, but it’s not capitalism’ fault!! It’s just stuff happening that’s totally unrelated to capitalism!!! <- answer I got to a similar discussion back in ~2014. Either that or “a few bad apples” when complaining about shitty companies.

      How dare you? Those billion dollar corpos are doing you a favor by paying a “just good enough” wages to allow you to eat.
