Maybe billionaires should get a real job that contributes.

    We live in the best time for the common man since man began.

    I think you still have a liberal living inside your head - you might want to do something about that.

      I’m not inclined to take political criticism seriously from someone who thinks capitalism is more violent than fascism.

          You are not wrong, but capitalism is the most violent power structures to ever exist - even a fascist will reject the idea of infinite consumption in a finite universe.

          This quite clearly asserts that capitalism is a separate entity and is more violent than fascism.

            Whoops, missed that, lol

            That’s certainly a spicy take. Wouldn’t fascism do the same thing in the end, as it innately justifies eternal conquest???

          Fascists are a form of capitalist.

          No it isn’t - fascism and capitalism is quite complementary to each other, though. After all… the liberal nation state requires both to exist.

        If you don’t understand why capitalism is far more violent than even fascism is it simply means you don’t understand either.
