Technically it is, but that doesn’t mean I don’t hate it

It was kind of a clumsy way of putting it, but I was basically trying to say that you can’t just point at one thing and say “this idea always leads here”. You can make an educated guess at the general direction if the system is abused, but you can’t be certain.

A system needs to be carefully maintained to stay in its best state as long as possible. We haven’t invented the perfect system yet, so pretty much everything we have will eventually fall apart. We just need it to last 'til we can make something better

If capitalism inevitably becomes imperialism, then wouldn’t the evolution of communism into something akin to Soviet Russia also be inevitable? Both are extreme worst case scenarios of a decent idea

I’m of the opinion that overcentralization of power inevitably leads to disaster. The people in New York can’t truly understand the issues in Texas any more than the people in Texas can truly understand California’s issues and Canada would have an even harder time truly understanding those same issues. The people who are working to fix problems should be close to those problems

I’m here by accident, this post keeps getting pushed on me. I’ll check out some of the literature and see what it has to say though. If I learn something then thank you in advance

You need to weigh the feet down, but I’m willing to help. Cheap shoes and duct tape should do the trick

It’s almost as if you can’t describe an entire economic system in a single sentence accurately. Who knew?

The core of capitalism is that you own the means of production and what you produce. Corporate/crony capitalism is that you can own things that other people make because you paid them to make it. Under free market capitalism, I don’t own the thing until I pay for the thing.

I hire you to make a chair and I’ll probably give you some money beforehand to reserve the chair and pay for materials, but the chair isn’t mine until you give it to me and I pay

One is describing capitalism and the other is describing corporate capitalism. This isn’t a left or right thing, both are capitalism

I don’t really mind the non-replacable batteries tbh. Water resistance is much harder when you need to design your phone with a removable battery.

I do want the SD card slots back though. I don’t care about having two Sim cards, I want my enormous local storage that I can transfer in 8-10 seconds back

What I wanna know is how Kirby has more lore than My Little Pony. He’s a blob with a one-word vocabulary.

He’s got a surprising amount of lore attached. He’s also canonically way more powerful than you’d expect
