Ya know what was a foundational part of the American dream? Pensions. Ya know which employers still offer them? Counties, states and the federal government.

Private companies exist solely to make the people at the top very rich based on the stolen value of employee labor while dumping catastrophic losses in the public sphere. That's capitalism in a nutshell.

You'd have to be unbelievably gullible, naive, traumatized AND brainwashed to be a diehard for a system like that. But, somehow they've managed it. A deluded nation of Amway top performers just one move away from making their own imaginary millions. All simping for the system.

Yesterday an American accidentally admitted that they tip their landlord. It was at that point I said to myself "man you fuckers deserve to suffer under whatever republican you end up voting for next election because we all know that's what you dumb ass motherfuckers are going to do"

I'm a big proponent of letting people suffer for their bullshit, but please let the rest of us out

Telecommunications Act. 1996. The Great Brainwashing where the Party began telling you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears.
