#Fuck Capitalism

[reasonableradicalleftist]

…and who do you think is paying ridiculous amounts of money to lobby governments to pass and enforce stricter intellectual property laws? That's literally how capitalism functions.

i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.

on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.

someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please

the constant inhun/457 promo and marketing is not a sign that “457 will become canon”. it is a byproduct of a capitalist corporation attempting to make more money.

netflix is, as we all know, very very money-hungry. hell, they milked two more seasons of squid game out of director hwang despite there being no immediate plans for a s2!!

this causes them to do things that may be considered queerbaiting — throwing them into a post with canon couples, posting them together frequently, etc. and unfortunately, to a select delusional few, it actually works.

this is the same idea as other companies catering their marketing and social media to gen z and therefore coming off as more “non-serious” -> examples being DUOLINGO, sour patch kids, and nutter butter. but there has definitely been a very noticeable influx of company’s social medias catering to gen z to seem more “approachable”.

gi-hun and in-ho’s dynamic is allegedly going to be important in season 3 as well, which makes it easier for them to get away with it. but a lot of people have indeed fallen into the trap — the Netflix Yaoibait Trap, if you will.

so no, netflix does not ship 457. they want your money. they see people being yaoi fiends and think “hey. we could make money out of this.”

this is in NO WAY a hate post, rather an analysis post. i’m making this post for the people who genuinely think 457 is going to become canon in season 3, but also because i wanted to analyze the why in netflix’s choices.

"unemployed ahh"

i'm so loved by the people in my life that they'll take care of me. they don't make me feel guilty and constantly remind me that what i bring to their lives, just by being, is worth more than money. i know my worth isn't determined by my ability to contribute to a capitalist system. i get to make art, learn and read about whatever i want, explore nature, care for the people and little creatures in my life. i get to rest when i'm sick and tired. i get to live for joy. i'm am fr that unemployed friend swimming with dolphins at 2pm on a tuesday.

i fear perhaps you're just a jealous bootlicker!

Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.

Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!

Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!

Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!

Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!

If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!

Absolute degenerate LUNACY

AI tech bros apparently....

Either because they've got some kind of deeply suppressed submission kink they're unwilling to admit to, or they're desperate to justify the existence of gen AI and push the insane perception that it "makes art accessible", rather than it being an expensive capitalist cash grab that's destroying the planet.....

Using the bathroom in general is a human right and should be enshrined as such and I'm not joking. Too many groups of people are denied bathroom breaks or the use of bathrooms entirely--disabled people, blue-collar workers, children, homeless people, prisoners, students, the elderly. I'm surely missing other groups. Not using the bathroom when needed can cause serious, long-term damage, not to mention death. Free, clean, accessible bathrooms should be available everywhere. It's fucking cruel to deny someone the use of the bathroom, regardless of the reasoning. I'd rather every student in the world goof off and every homeless person make a mess and every worker "steal company time" than let one person suffer because they're denied the right to fucking pee in peace.

every single comment on this post has been nuked by reddit.

per what reddit mods have said, they are apparently cracking down on anything glorifying Luigi Mangione or "promoting violence".

so we're absolutely clear on reddit's opinion of "promoting violence":

r/CombatFootage, which regularly shares high definition, extremely graphic war footage, including drones dropping grenades on prone soldiers in Ukraine/Russia and people having limbs being blown off by explosions, has 1,761,375 subscribers. It is one of the top 500 subreddits by subscribers and in the Top 60 NSFW subreddits.

The Columbine Shooters have a subreddit for discussing the Columbine Killers and their families with over 33,000 members. It has been active since May 5th, 2020.

The Sandy Hook shooter has a subreddit dedicated to discussing him with 3,551 members. Here are some of the posts, in addition to pictures of him as a child. It has been active since December 3rd, 2021. he is also described by a mod of the subreddit as "not a pedophile, but an ephebophile."

The Pennsylvania Weis Markets shooter has a subreddit dedicated to discussing him with 500~ members. It has been active since April 15th, 2022.

The Apalachee High School shooter has a subreddit dedicated to discussing him with 260~ users. It was created the day of the shooting, September 4th, 2024.

if you dig through the frequent contributors to these subreddits, you will find that the vast amount of crossover from the users occurs in communities such as r/teenagers, r/highschool, r/roblox and a wide variety of subreddits dedicated to self harm, severe mental health struggles and other mass killers or topics related to them. totally normal stuff that reddit allows.

this is without seeking out all of the alt-right rat nests that have buried themselves underneath somewhat innocuous-looking community names pushing dog whistles and avoiding overt calls for violence.

every last one of these social media platforms, including the one that we are on, overtly allows glorification and deification of the most notorious, mentally unwell, violent, extremist mass killers in modern history. but if you show any kind of approval of what Luigi Mangione is accused of doing, you are censored not in days, but hours.

i sincerely hope this opens the eyes of people who previously didn't see the forest for the trees. this is what is meant by “they got you fighting a culture war to stop you fighting a class war.” not that our cultures aren't significant or that we don't have differences, but that ultimately, the divide among us lies in wealth, not in skin color.

as long as the "poors" are killing each other, there's no reason for alarm or concern. it's only when the roles are reversed that we see action taken or examples made of people like Luigi Mangione.

Capitalism is a death cult.

Once you admit capitalism is a problem, the answers and alternatives are easier to digest.

Too many people are afraid to admit capitalism is killing us and destroying the planet.

do able-bodied people not understand that if disabled people call out of work every time they don't feel good that we would call out of work every fucking day?

like honestly. what do you think being disabled means?
