Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

I'm fine with a more socialist form of capitalism though. Something where people are more comfortable, get more time off and a lenience for things like mental health, pregnancy, injuries, etc. Make the exploitation bearable.

Yeah but certain parts of Europe are also becoming overly PC like that one place that covered up a child trafficking scandal because they were Muslim and they didn't want citizens to lash out at Muslims.

uh, capitalism definitely had a little something to do with the rising standard of living over the last few centuries. You can stay in denial about that cause anything that makes capitalism sound less evil is taboo, but that's the truth.

You have to give the devil it's due. Marx understood that. In the manifesto he basically framed capiltalistm as a liberating force with regard to feudalism, which would set the stage for the proletariat to rise and usher in communism.
