From the perspective of political #economy, the current moment in #capitalism looks like a huge #heist by a few on the rest of #society and neoclassical economics with its trivializing #market narrative serves them as a cover story.

Those hoping to view clips from Comedy Central’s golden age of late-night programming will still find some clips on #YouTube, but nothing near the complete collection that had been available on ComedyCentral.com.
It’s impossible to finance culture with #capitalism :(

This is a game and a work of fiction that takes place on an imaginary cyberpunk dystopia ravaged by capitalism.
It focuses on the climate crisis because the data was easy to obtain and model, but it is important to note that the mechanisms illustrated by this game are omnipresent in this fictional society.
The normalization of the status quo by extremist capitalist forces is causing deaths and suffering in many more ways than only environmental ones.
The status quo is not morally neutral. Inaction kills.

Progressive politics, which is committed to social #justice and the preservation of our livelihood, must necessarily redistribute #wealth and restructure our #economy, which should actually be possible for the majority because it serves the majority, but the concrete actions always get in the way of the #profit interests of some very powerful actors, who have therefore been involved since the beginning of #humanity itself and with the help of their lobbyists: Liberal or right-wing parties, media corporations, social #media platforms, think tanks, #lobby associations and #astroturf movements - front against these policies and in this fight do not shy away from stirring up racist, sexist and social-darvinist resentment in order to lead voters down wrong paths that harm the general public but protect the profit interests of the few.

They don't think they have to stick to their word, because as far as they're concerned might is right, and the drive for profit overrules all human considerations.

Testifying at a Senate hearing June 18, Boeing’s #CEO #DavidCalhoun acknowledged that the company had retaliated against whistleblowers.

When you prevent the children to learn the real history, when you prevent them from critical thinking, when you teach them that 6 million Jews were much much much more important than 27 million Soviets.
When you don't let them know that NATO was built by the former Nazis and so did the CIA and MIT not to forget almost all the financial institutions that built the western capitalism.
They have been supporting fascists and monsters all throughout history, the only different is that it's no longer just a few of us who are pointing it out but millions seeing it uncensored and live.
Suharto, Pinochet, Ferdinand Marcos, Ziaolhaqh, Somoza and sooo many other monsters with backing and support of the western leaders were all we saw, we fought and exposed. But the kids today starting to see the real news. From alternative media, from social networks. From eyewitness reports to understand the lies and propaganda of the west, the main stream media and sold out politicians.
I sure hope that this is the wake up call the world needs to end the 80 years of lies we have been fed to.
But I'm not that optimistic. And hope so badly that I'm wrong.

The Western #system won the #ColdWar and this gave rise to a certain sense of superiority among the victors that this system will now prevail #worldwide. Instead of democracies, however, autocracies have prevailed. #Capitalism also works quite well in #China. When it comes to condemning the Russian war of aggression, important states prefer to remain neutral. Bitterly poor Africans can see the Western lifestyle in advertising and would like to live it, but this does not necessarily have to be in a #democracy for them. A democracy brings people like Trump to power and there are irreconcilable differences on important issues such as climate change. It doesn't matter whether you believe in climate change - nature conservation should be a worthwhile goal for everyone. Ultimately, it's not about #climate change, but about the society we want to live in. The desire to at least live in a peaceful world after the Second World #War has not been fulfilled. #Humanity has also failed to distribute #wealth fairly, which is the reason for many of today's conflicts. We are heading towards a new very dark age and we cannot prevent it because we have created an economic system that rewards short-term profits at the expense of the #environment. Since we don't begrudge these profits to others, we can only join in and destroy our own habitat, democracy and #future.

I don't know how naive, uneducated and thoughtless and what addictions you are subject to if you believe and claim that wars are about morality, freedom and fighting evil.
But it's always astonishing when people get it confirmed again and know that even this won't wake up the majority.

We are told #capitalism is best because it drives people to makes things more efficiently, cut waste and innovate with new ideas and inventions. Sadly all it mostly does is encourage them to exploit labor and the environment instead, and then anyone who doesn't gets weeded out as a bad business. Its only AFTER the exploitation that the efficiency becomes a factor.
“Sofas made in the past 15 years or so are absolute garbage, constructed of sawdust compressed and bonded with cheap glue, simple brackets in place of proper joinery, substandard spring design, flimsy foam, and a lot of staples.” It’s excellent, well-written, and will take you some surprising places.
But the subtext is drearily familiar. Globalization: Check. Cheap-labor arbitrage: Check. Tax engineering: Check. High profits: Check. Flat-packing: Check. Late Capitalism: Check check fucking check.
