You nailed it!
We can’t fix the broken, BUT we can improve society so the next generation doesn’t suffer the same fate. The sort of person doing drugs, you could give him a million and he’d blow it then be right back where he started. We can’t really fix that, but only stop it from happening again.
Yes, the father of last resort which is probably a better one anyway.
Man you’re really sharp to see all this that most seem not to be able to see even when it’s spelled out.
Yeah capitalism has incentive to keep people hungry and desperate for any wage at all in order to maximize profits. The wealth is sucked from mexico and deposited in the Hamptons and some of it might trickle down to main street when a new yacht is purchased. The shitholes exist to maintain the opulent places.
Think of detroit: an entire industry got up n left leaving huge swaths of people sitting there, went to china to make its products, then sold those products to the same people they left hanging. Some of the people may have had a meager welfare or low-paying shit job (and peddling drugs), but nothing like the factory job of before. What did they expect to happen? So then we need a war on drugs in order to herd some of them into concentration camps to get rid of them, to save on the welfare, and make some cash on the side by putting them to work for 25 cents/hr. Oh it’s a real fuckin! Not many people can see it though. I’m beginning to think at least 120 iq is necessary to even grasp it. 100 iq, no way, even if they could get past their arrogance. So that was helmuth nyborg’s point that democracy can only exist in countries with a certain average iq… like 90 I think… on average… minimum. There is much profit to be made in keeping people poor, hungry, and stupid. That’s how to capitalize.
Oh I forgot that religion is also necessary to get people to forget this miserable life and concentrate on the next where the streets will be gold.
Oh and then you convince them that paying a gas tax is “fair” because the ones who use the roads should pay for them, nevermind that the trucks the corps use tear up the roads, so the costs of the road is socialized and the profit from its use is privatized.
Oh and then the military is socialized R&D: we pay to design stuff that is sold back to us for profit.
Shit there’s like 100 years of smart guys figuring out how to fuck us. The systematic dismantling of everything FDR instituted and erosion of our rights one amendment at a time. Ironically though, the totalitarian corps are turning benevolent. The lone holdouts are the southern bumpkins and ruralites, as you spelled out recently.
Yeah man, you got it! Just put it in intimidating poetic flowery form and start proselytizing on the net! He who has an ear to hear will hear. Don’t be nihilist now, this is our asses we’re talking about
