    “Bad people” isn’t the schtick of Sunny or Seinfeld, or any comedy. Shitty people is a trope that’s as old as comedy itself. Twists and turns of their lies, dastardly plans backfiring, etc. If you have a problem with that, I think your sense of humor is broken.

    On the other hand, if you think their particular bits or premises aren’t funny, you’re just demonstrating you have bad taste, and that is fine.


  • The billionaire class probably have enough resources to starve us all out of a general strike. The system ticks on in the meantime… Landlords expect rent, banks expect mortgage payments, interest accrues, etc.

    I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I don’t think there’s a way to swat the system in the nose and in bring it around to working for regular people.

    To cripple capitalism in the way that people seem to envision would require mass worker revolt; seizing assets and land, securing access to basic needs, military and communications operations. However, a prolonged revolt will only create a power vacuum, so it would also require a plan to implement reforms in a coordinated, cooperative, and sustainable manner.
