I’d like to send a special “fuck you buddy” to all the boomers that told me “oh you’ll get more conservative as you get older, once you get some money”
I don’t know what world those people live in, but every day since probably 1989 everything I have seen in the world has only convinced me more and more that capitalism is a disease that is destroying lives and the planet.
@cobweb I was to the right of Reagan as a high schooler. I am ready to burn it all down now.
@cobweb I share that feeling. The older I get the more anti-capitalism I seem to be getting. I thought it was supposed to work the other way
But, "capitalism is a disease that is destroying lives and the planet" is almost literally the kind of stuff I learned in, oh, kindergarten in communist Czechoslovakia in the 1970s.
That sort of doctrine also came from a form of conservatism.
Capitalism and conservatism are separate dimensions.
They have a point. Neoliberalism and Marxism and so forth are totalitarian economics. Totalitarianism is an extreme form of authoritarianism. Authoritarianism sucks at economics./gen
@walkinglampshade @Kazinator @cobweb I assure you that arguing with someone saying "but capitalism is good actually" is going to bring you no joy. At the very least, I am begging you all to untag me in your replies.

Eyyy wow this is doing numbers! If anyone seeing this thread is looking to hire a devops/linux/cloud type person, I’m your choom! Out of work and looking to get #fedihired
Secondly, sorry for lumping boomers together like that, I know many kind and good and enlightened boomers and of course there are tons of terrible people in all generations and that all war is class war and all that, I was being flip sorry about that.
And if anyone would like to support my cause, please consider contributing to my coffee and donut fund over at https://ko-fi.com/cobweb_ci
