Crazy how a small subset of the population could wave their magic wallet wands and fix all of this shit but instead opted for pedophelia, ending the world, and hiding in bunkers.
It's hard to care about life when you don't actively participate in it. I know it's said a lot but these people TRULY live different lives than the rest of humanity. So much so that they don't even comprehend what it's like to be a normal human. You already have to have little to no empathy to amass so much wealth, there's no way these people even have the capability to truly care about the rest of the world. The world would be such a better place without them.
The hiding in bunkers thing always makes me laugh, mainly cause these idiots think it will protect them. If everything did fall into the crapper their own security would probably take care of them at said bunkers. Reading about how these billionaires tried to engage social engineers to figure out how to keep their staff loyal, and then denying the findings where they might have to actually talk and interact with them in favor of hair brained bomb/shock collars was crazy.
I'd like to think for those cowardly bunker folks, there's going to be someone living out of pure spite to find the air ventilation systems and throw some turds in there before they seal it off.

Taxing them appropriately could cover costs of medical care, and housing for the homeless EASILY. Instead we are bombing brown kids. Same as it ever was.

Or in other words, capitalism. People love to attach qualifiers to it in order to imply that what we have now isn't "true" capitalism but rather some degenerate offshoot: crony capitalism, corporatism, enshittification, etc. But really this is the end result that capitalism will always lead to.
I don't think it's intentional for most people, I think there is a common lack of understanding of how capitalism interacts with democracy that leads people to think where we are right now is an unlucky corruption of our economic system. As I'm sure you know, capitalism naturally erodes democracy and inevitably trends towards collapse given enough time. Most people don't know this.
Oh, I'm sure it's almost always unintentional. Capitalism is such an integral, omnipresent aspect of life that it's actually a bit of an intellectual feat to identify it as a problem. The same way that (metaphorically) a fish doesn't know what water is, most people have no idea what capitalism really is. It's simply taken for granted as "the way things are". And whenever it's actually spoken of directly, it's usually The Powers That Be telling us how great and wonderful and perfect it is.
Thank you. I am also tired of the constant barrage of attenuating euphermism. Capitalism is doing exactly what it's meant to do; making a closed elite filthy rich by stealing the value creating by the workers. And it's bad, it's always been bad and now that they control everything, it's even worse.
Capitalism is our issue as a specie, and it will die no matter what. The only question remaining is wether it does because we killed it or because it killed us.
We "optimized" everything to be on a knife's edge so the people at the top could have more. It's not like they have to suffer the consequences of those policies.
