    I see not only the Roman cult elected new head priest, but Austrian one too. Or at least they should, “demand lower wages to save the planet” is a galaxy take worthy of the post in their cult.

    What people think capitalism is as explained by capitalist economists: “The more people demand stuff, the more it gets produced. So if you want to change what is produced, demand less of it.”

    How capitalism actually functions: decades long propaganda campaign against climate research, stuck with cars because fossil fuel industry and car industry says so; make money off of building bombs, destroy country with bombs, swoop in with foreign capital to profit off of rebuilding it; create a product that no one wants, create a problem in order to sell it; always shift blame to the individual and always insist the institution is at worst corrupted but never flawed in its construction; spend more money and resources on union-busting than it would cost you to just pay people a decent wage; smear, harass, imprison, and/or assassinate anyone who gets in the way, to the extent that you can get away with it; take credit for everything good that happens in your orbit and shift blame for everything bad that happens in your orbit; tirelessly and violently work to destroy any alternative system that could be perceived as better, lest people believe a better world is possible

    I realized some time ago that “You will own nothing and be happy” was not meant as a socialist quote, but the almost inevitable future of the capitalist system where everything becomes a subscription service as part of an economy vaguely based on the philosophy of Toyotism. You will be happy because you will have bread and games, more games than bread, and you will own nothing because that would go against the motive of capitalists enlarging the gap between rich and poor, so they can yield ever more power.

    But yes, it is good because it’s good for the environment! A good christian is not gluttonous as you know! Only the ruling class is allowed to own anything! How else is society supposed to function?

    Identity- and greenwashed politics truly are the working class’ worst enemy, because you choose by your own will to be enslaved and as a result percieve it as freedom

      I mean, it’s a quote from a WEF ghoul. It’s a manifesto of rental capitalism

    Boy golly just imagine if only the Salò régime had broadcast messages to the resistance saying ‘Your Berettas were made under Fascism.’ Then everybody in the movement would have immediately shut down simultaneously. It was just that easy!
