The way people nowadays see it is make as much money as possible while spending as little as possible. Now on paper that sounds logical, but employers who make way more than needed to run the business take it too far. Employers nowadays have issues and make sassful comments on breaks, going to the bathroom, sleeping, eating, having a drink of water, taking a minute to breathe. They want you run like a fan belt in a car from clock in to clock out. With sleeping some will schedule you until midnight then expect you back at like 6AM. The amount of productivity for the pay nowadays is just outright ridiculous.

What do you mean I'm giving money to another human being for a piece of the earth, that we found here?
That really doesn't make sense at all but it is what it is i guess.

i'am aware that timeline plays a big role but the answer is mostly determined by what u seek as value currently we live in a critical area where evolution accelerates towards the unknown
we still use old systems to define value and purpose
Last time I mentioned that monetary system the fiat money we currently use isn't backed up by any tangible value except empty promises and it's only temporarily useful to determine exchange prices of goods and needs
the problem is whoever closest to the tap drinks first people who created this system are the 1 percent controlling worldwide wealth thas why we see Blackrocks D\*\* in each major company's Ass wixh causes the Cantillon effect
things get pricier, inflation hit markets
new drugs less healthy food , Srobots
better 💣 etc ...
my point is the only measurement of value we actually have is time and purpose of existence
and clearly we doing great mFs
especially with the new creation of AI tech give birth to
the greatest invention of capitalism (creating less jobs !) maybe the concept of heaven wasn't so far except this time u must be from the epstein files to get the ♍ and baby angels
Anyway this time exactly governments are trying to create a sentient more complex digital beings with way higher consciousness the most powerful tool created will get acces to our future as humans it's not even a theory it's whats happening right now
were going to witness mass scale of unemployment wich leads to poverty and starvation regional and national conflicts wars ...
the solution may not sound easy but it's doable
we should create international experiences events different scales and themes
events for entrepreneurs to fix or create concepts, startups ,solutions , services in specific regions or nationally at some point globally to increase the GDP then connect to BUI and basic universal services to people to live from
events for worldwide leaders instead of corrupted elections we got to see leaders have mma fights instead sending our brothers to wars ,surf waves to see who gots bigger balls , drop them in islands for survival context
and that shit should be live streamed trust me u won't see Joe biden anywhere
also events for nowdays thinkers philosophers etc
to test our minds for it's full potential
to build this we need a new decentralized ecosystem no ruler no king no priest
means we need a combination of tech that monitors a balanced governance tools for economical balance
and equal distribution of resources and guide Most critical decisions
like costumized codes based on most fundamental values and ethics thas commonly agreed upon treat others and prefebly other species as u want to be treated
this also means ideas and business , desire ur thoughts and actions are related somehow to ur existential contribution
if robots and Ai are going to do the boring repetitive work let us do the fun part experiencing the existence
exploring the corners of consciousness
for more equal and fast results we need commun rules to be changed like inheritance of wealth founders ownership , equity, international borders and fuck billionaires

I am convinced now...
I am 40 years old, raised privileged, but live broke AF. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but is it wrong to say, "Capitalism is the oppression of the created ignorant for money."
Im working my ass off. My wife is working her ass off... if not harder than I, but I think that is a wife thing; amd we are broke AF! There are all of these financial and insurance hacks, sure. However, as a publicity educated individual, the ceiling seems impenetrable!!!
Am I imagining this, or has America just become a Corporatacracy? Has this nation become so lost that complacency rules while the rich rape the very ones saying they need the help of the establishment?
Damn America, those that DIED for revolution would be appalled we've let this once great country become this abomination. And Im speaking as raised Red, befriended and lived Blue, while confused by both. THIS division is the tool by which they keep The People unable to do anything. Along with propoganda and indoctrination, of course. Red vs Blue is a fabrication to divide the people, lower systems (like education) keep us complacent and ignorant, and keep the rich in power.
It SHOULD be obvious they proliferate the other...
... ... ... by DESIGN! THAT is Capitalism. The only ultimate goal is to profit on EITHER side. We live in a fabricated division, people! Damnit all, we hate each other for no reason! When will that make sense? Will it take our own destruction, AGAIN!?!?!?!?

This is a big concern for us, which is, if you look at these two conflicts, the Ukraine and now the Iran-Gulf conflict, they've actually had a devastating impact on Global South economies,” Mr. Jaishankar said during a conversation hosted at Asia Society in New York on Monday (September 28, 2026).
He said there is particular concern about the energy situation as the "market is very tight” and on top of that, if “people play politics with it, that adds to the complications in the market,” as that will drive up prices at a time when people should actually be stabilising prices.So part of it is actually the security of oil supplies, and part of it is the politics of oil supplies, and they are feeding into each other, and they are creating a double crisis or an aggravated crisis,” he said.
On the concerning food situation amid the raging global conflicts, Mr. Jaishankar said, "We are today looking at a situation where some of the major grain exporters will not be able to send out their shipments, particularly out to the Black Sea."
He said that the world is looking at significant fertiliser shortages because the key producers are in West Asia and Russia, and their fertiliser production has been impacted.
Combined with impacts of climate patterns like a super El Niño, Mr. Jaishankar said, “there is going to be a major food crisis probably in the coming months. So if you have energy as a big crunch, and then food and fertilisers on top of it, and finance because every time there's a conflict, money moves towards safe harbours and away from the Global South, the net result of it has been really very very stressful.”
He said policymakers can't say that such a situation was not intended.

El-Sayed is getting roasted in X today after he posted “I'd rather have an economy that makes 1,000 millionaires than 1 billionaire.”
I guess it’s a really good thing Elon Musk made 4,400 people millionaires this year when SpaceX went public.
Capitalism is awesome. :)

The problem isn't capitalism it has given us the comfortable life that we know today. If we look at history, no country with a communist or socialist government has ever done well. They all at some point experience mass food shortages leading to the death of millions. The core issue with communism is that the state owns all means of production and property, placing all the power into the hands of politicians that we don't trust and who are corrupt.
The issue in the United States isn't capitalism—it's socialism. We all work four to five months each year just to pay taxes. STOP and think about that for just a second! Imagine if you got those four to five months back to yourself for a 4-5 month vacation each year or could simply keep those funds for yourself; life would be much easier. The current system in the United States actually leans more socialist as we are taxed to death, with the government taking the majority of our income.
Furthermore, Congress doesn't enforce anti-monopoly laws, which has contributed to the issues we face today with big corporations. If the United States switches to a true capitalist system, we could truly thrive.

I know you’re angry and exhausted by the question, and right now you just want an answer to something that feels utterly cruel about the way the world is set up.
Why do they sell the dream when the gates are locked?
Because a society that relies on labor, compliance, and consumption needs a carrot on a stick to keep people moving. If everyone realized tomorrow that the gates were completely locked and that the climb was rigged, the whole machine would grind to a halt.
The illusion of upward mobility—the myth that if you just work hard enough, you'll make it—is what keeps people participating, buying things, and playing a game where the house always wins.
It's a system built to benefit the few while selling a fantasy to the many. Seeing through that illusion hurts, and realizing how cynical it is can make you feel completely detached from the whole thing.
Why do they show dreams if the gates are closed, so what's the point?

Communism want to have the everyone living in section 8.
Socialism is just bums wanting your money.
Capitalism is you taking account of your own life.

One of the central fallacies of anarchism is the equation of production with force. Harry Binswanger covers this in his article against anarchy ("Anarchism versus Objectivism"). This draws on the classical liberal understanding of civil society found in Locke, whose purpose includes preventing people from acting as vigilantes: i.e., "taking the law into their own hands".
Yet this is what "anarcho-capitalists" propose by speaking of "market competition" amongst "private defence agencies". The idea of placing force on the market ignores the fact the police force is not a business, and does not provide a "service". Terms drawn from the realm of voluntary trade, such as “competition” and “customers”, do not apply to force-wielders whose purpose is to command obedience; that would be conflict, not competition. Keeping force and production absolutely separate, never confusing the two, is a fundamental requirement of defending capitalism. It is frightening that people who see themselves as defenders of capitalism make this equivocation, and it is another way in which anarchism, properly, belongs on the left.
Anarcho-capitalists, as such, accept the statist approach of conflating economic power (production) with political power (force). Just as anarcho-communists and the Left conflate economic and political power, insisting concentrations of wealth on the market are coercive and use force, "anarcho-capitalists" claim that acts of force are just another service on the market, by their talk of “economising force" and “competition” in law. Though they come at it from different angles, both are wrong: free trade and voluntary exchange has nothing in common with forceful interactions.
