RE: https://mastodon.social/@vicfroh/116574174391955293The uncomfortable truth is that #capitalism rewards narcissists and other sociopaths. They make up 1% of the population and 21% of CEOs. #narcissism #pathocracy

@Quasit REIt rewards #privilege, inherited power, and #psychopathy@vicfrohRE“If #capitalism truly rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists"AND...there are 2 types of doctors, one makes much more money, yet one could say, the #Cognitive behavioral therapy is the BETTER doctorprocedural vs cognitive, which makes the big bucks?@rmblaber1956Rhx 4 orig Victator boosthttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/1754364

Investment firms are buying "water-rich" agricultural land in states like Arizona and Colorado. They aren't necessarily interested in farming; they are interested in the senior water rights attached to the deed

@MikeImBack I don’t mind. Why fail once when you can fail twice

It is so stupid and crazy how normalized the wage gap is.I just sat next to someone that had a bag of clothes worth as much as my yearly salary. No not spending money i am talking salary. They spend that in a day and had the bag just casually standing next to me.I dont earn little which makes this 10 times worse. I dont like how normal this is. During the Revolution in france the wage gap was way way smaller btw Eat the rich pls :3Lets normalize hating te rich. Like spitting in their food and planning a revolution (Hypothetically ofc)#fcktherich #fucktherich #hatecapitalism #capitalismUii i like this hashtag <333 #eattherich

In this era of racist redistricting and suicidal extractive shareholder-only capitalism, I take great joy in knowing this evergreen shrub is flipping everyone off. #greed #TaxTheRich #capitalism

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon i love her sooooo much

@Catawu Another dark age:(

RE: https://autistics.life/@AutisticInnovator/116517220574764042If anyone still thinks that capitalism and free market lead to lower prices.Prices went down not because of market competition but because people are too poor to pay prices inflated for profits.And be assured that even with these lower prices they STILL make a lot of profit.#capitalism #economy #usa

@jeffowski Calling the problem capitalism is not useful. Our crappy capitalism leaves a lot to be desired, but what’s your model?for each of your three legitimate failures, there’s a democratic capitalist example that we can adopt.

@maxfrischknecht I run my own server

@vicfroh Yes....not #capitalism. That money is from taxes, which are in no meaningful way voluntary. Remember, this is exactly what #socialism supporters WANT; the government to take more and more of your money and spend it how they want.

@jeffowski Over the last few years, it really has become evident to me that Americans' education is all about supremacy. Even in sports, it is not about the game or sportsmanship, it is about shit talk. There's no working together to solve problems, there's just finding a way to make a profit or blame others when you can't. There's racism in Canada. Absolutely no doubt about that, but it is mostly ignorant fear of the "other", not all about being "supreme".

@persagen Quelle surprise.

Reposting from Threads:The Dutch East India Company invented the stock market in 1602. Publicly traded shares. The first IPO in history.Its sister company, the Dutch West India Company, bought Manhattan, founded New Amsterdam, and built a wall across the island using enslaved black labor to protect corporate assets.That wall became Wall Street. That slave market became the New York Stock Exchange. That company town became New York City. That company became the United States of America.The corporation didn’t take over the government. The corporation WAS the government. It had its own military, its own courts, its own currency, its own colonies. The government came later as middle management. We live in a company town. We just can’t see the walls. Jodi LaCroix @hereiseeheresy #StockMarket #WallStreet #NYC #History #Capitalism

"Late-stage capitalism" is a clever -sounding phrase to drop into a fedipost, but it's nonsense: it implies a deterministic, teleological model of history, moving through known stages towards an inevitable goal.In reality, each generation just muddles along as best it can, neither moving towards nor away from anything, but just making the best (or worst) of their moment on this planet. 🫤#history #marxism #capitalism p.s. Marxists aren't alone in their fantasising: (liberal) Whig historians have their Myth of Progress, techo-utopians have their triumphalist history of the "Great Men" of Science, and conservative Christian Nationalists have their racist "Great Replacement" theory.
