But I don't want to rape and murder anybody. I just want to pee in their milk and steal their TV on my way out while she's lying comatose in post-Batlord euphoria.

Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.

But what if I can be a ****boy and get a harem of yuppie sluts addicted to the Bat-dick who I can borrow money from and never pay back?

You don't borrow it. Just take it as a gift.

Regarding the validity of capitalism: any system is hackable. It's just like the cyberwars - a never ending arms race between vulnerability patches and vulnerability exploits. Law is pretty similar between law makers and loophole hackers, and the longer pieces of law are around, the more clever technicians (lawyers and politicians) learn how to exploit it.

Capitalism has been "figured out" by the elite, so it seems like we're kind of ****ed from here on forward in our (USA) specific instances of capitalism.

Do you have any ideas for a solution to fix this?
