    Luckily solutions don’t rely on your imagination.

    If people who “can’t think of a better way” would stop trying to impose their lack of imagination on the rest of us we would be able to progress.

    There are smarter people than you or I in the world and they aren’t the ones running things, the ones whispering, “You’re nothing without me”

    The first step of any abusive relationship is recognizing it’s an abusive relationship. The second is to stop making excuses for your abuser and just leave, no matter what they claim the cost to be.

            Yes. For you.

            I can no more save you from capitalism than I can save you from an abusive relationship.

            The real tell is when I point it out and you get upset with me; classic response by the abused.

      Yes and there are people who can’t leave, eg have no place to go, no means of survival, otherwise. Disabled, power differentiate between men/women/children, etc.

        Yep. We’re all stuck and only together can we get unstuck. Unionize. Vote. Share ideas. Help others escape the fog when they get stuck.

        Unfortunately some don’t want to be help. They’ll defend their abusers with violence. They are the most dangerous. Flying monkey’s doing the bidding of the powerful.

        No shame when they wake though; capitalism is a mind fuck.
