If believing that americas ruling elite have been a corrupt conga line of slavers and white supremacists means that future generations won’t believe in America then it would really suck for America if its ruling elite were, in fact, a corrupt conga line of slavers and white supremacists.
If capitalism were a beer it would be a Trappist beer. Far more expensive than it’s worth, deeply entwined with religion and patriarchy for no clearly discernible reason. Providing an excess variety of flavor combinations that proponents point to as though chocolate or cherry flavored beer is a success, they all taste like ass just give me a fucking beer.
I’ve been trying to learn warhammer lore and every youtube video begins with
Warhammer has the biggest lore of any franchise, and it’s so vast I’m just going to tell you about Hive Cities.
Like, the lore doesn’t seem that deep?
Ok great you have a Roman Empire world too. Wow. Great Lore.
The emperor is prescient and psychic? The enemies are orcs? Wow it’s so deep.
Just because you’re able to squish any other lore into your lore doesn’t mean your lore is deep. It makes it wide, sure. ChatGPT can generate a lot of text, lots of potential for random stories since your universe is constructed to be “Lord of the Rings and Dune but everything fucking sucks like you can’t even imagine how grim”.
It’s because Tesla and SpaceX made the world 100x better. If not more.
Can you even remember life before the Cyber Truck? Has humanity ever got a banana almost into orbit? How could your yacht or combat drone connect to the internet before Starlink?
Capitalism rewards creativity, innovation. The system works.
I think about how, in the british empire like 1800s ruling india and shit, part of why it became more effective is that they ended the practice of being able to buy a position and replaced it with merit hiring.
And MBAs… that’s very very similar to buying a position. If you have $50-200k spare or the capacity to get that far into debt, you are buying yourself a rung in the corporate ladder.
Well-regarded MBAs openly advertise the fact their network is the bigger part of the value they offer. The seal of approval matters more than actual learning. And you can just buy it.
the first link I read on the topic was a toronto local newspaper that said this and then I found this current link which included radioactive other stuff and so I changed the link I was going to post but didn’t update my title
