Yes...? We are aware of how bad we're being fucked. We saw the Panama papers. Rich people dodge taxes with loopholes. War is waged to line pockets. Senators practice insider trading. Huge, major problems exist with capitalism and of course, we can't know the full extent. What do you think would be different under your preference?
Yes? It’s that obvious? What percentage of the population knows how the animals they consume are raised and slaughtered, or that it’s illegal to show them? What percentage knows that in many other nations, the burger flipping jobs the U.S. loves to debate do pay better, and yet the food is cheaper? What percentage is aware that many European nations simply do not allow large corporations like Google and Facebook to “own” your data, and that they do not have some sort of inherent right to it? All of these things are legal—passing laws to hide information you don’t like, having no obligation to pay livable wages or provide healthcare, lining your pockets with money nobody else knew you could just… take. Seems like a system in which these actions weren't both legal and highly rewarded could, you know, put more of the cards on the table.
I asked you what would be different under your preferred alternative to capitalism and you've responded with policy from other capitalist nations. Perhaps the ideas you have presented are not solutions to capitalisms failings but instead just good ideas that can coexist within a capitalist society. I'm really not sure I understand your point but feel free to clarify if you'd like to continue the discussion.
It's almost like capitalism just means that people exchange money for goods and goods for money and everything else is up to people to decide.
Chiming in to a conversation with a weak point, just to have no one respond to you.
No wonder you haven't made so many comments today. This poor troll is starving because he's having a hard time getting people to take the bait. Anyway, see you tomorrow buddy. I hope for your sake you do better next time
Thanks for responding, noone.
It must kill you that I have a laugh about you to the people you argue with here. Hey man, no one is making you respond with all these little love letters to me
Your ghoulphrenia is amusing to say the least.
Proud of that word? It's cute how you keep using it like it means something.
Anyway, keep validating me by responding. Every single time you do, it's like a little chirp proving that you can't help yourself.
I hope you're having as much fun as I am.
Ghoulphrenia is a condition that you suffer from, it's normal for a ghoulphrenia victim to not be aware of it.
You must know all about that, considering narcissists go through the same thing.
Anyway, I don't tend to take medical advice from self-professed assholes
Tell us more about narcissism.
There's a case study right here. Your inability to ignore me says more than I ever could
Ghoulphrenia patient begging for attention asks me to ignore him, talk about mixed messages...
Don't I recall you trying to call me out for making fun of mental patients yesterday? I guess your ego knows no hypocrisy. You're a man of no principles, and that's what makes you a good troll
No you don't, like a typical ghoulphrenic, you just made that up.
Gaslighting doesn't work on a public forum, mate. But then again, you'll say literally anything to feel like you're winning. I like that about you
I would feel bad to be winning against a ghoulphrenic.
Hey man, you're the one arguing with who you think is a mental patient. What does that say about you?
You could leave at any point, but you can't stand not having the last word.
I'm not arguing with you, sister.
Right, you never argue with anyone. Because you can't remember what that word means.
Good troll. Stick to your guns
Yes I never argue with anyone and that's just a solid fact.
Hey man, I appreciate you practicing on me. You could do a little better though. Is "ghoulphrenic" the only insult you could muster after 10+ comments?
Come on, hit me
Ghoulphrenia is not a matter that anyone would insult.
Ooo, flip flopped back to respecting mental patients. Not exactly an insult, and pretty weak bait.
Try a little harder. I know you can do it.
Hey buddy, I really love that you're using a made up word to boot. The only hit "ghoulphrenic" got on any search engine I tried was an off brand 4chan Incel chamber. Nice to know what media you do consume.
Man, god made you a perfect little troll didn't he?
Which word wasn't made up exactly? Ghoulphrenics sure are interesting specimens.
It's funny, you're stuck on one insult. You're losing your edge, buddy
You can't read the comment you directly replied to? You know, illiteracy would explain a lot about you.
I don't read ghoulprenic posts.
But you reply to them every time like clockwork. You must really like me
I mean, also, you just read that one. Kinda inconsistent huh?
Oh wait let me guess, you don't remember that?
Seetherald.
Stonewall me baby. It's how I know you're losing it
