This is already how it is. Our public schools are underfunded to the point of being useless. The lack of quality public education is how you end up with this many idiots voting for trump in the first place.

That, and religious indoctrination destroying any chance they had at developing critical thinking skills.

It hasn't been a left wing vote for a long time, if ever.

I earn money by working

But do you earn enough? Does the working class earn enough? The general consensus for most people is no. The vast majority of wealth that the working class produces every year does not make it into the hands of the people who produced it, but rather the oligarchs who already possess most of the wealth already.

I can spend my money on what I want, and can start a business if I wanted to.

These are not exclusive to only capitalism. People were trading money for goods and starting businesses for thousands of years before capitalism was around.

The best businesses are rewarded with more money while poor businesses fail.

This is how it's supposed to work in a merit driven free market economy, but that's not how late stage capitalism plays out.

Many corporations are run by imbeciles and hemorrhage money, pursue short term profits at the expense of long term sustainability, treat their workers horribly, and rely on their monopolistic position in the market to survive rather than merit, competence, ethics, or quality. When they finally make an error that would normally bankrupt a company out of existence, they simply cry to the government for bailout money, and they get it every time because our politicians are bought and owned by billionaires and their lobbyists. This is the core principle of an oligarchy, which we are, and which capitalism always evolves into given enough time.

The rich get bailouts, the workers do not. This is a direct product of wealth inequality and regulatory capture that capitalism inherently generates.

The main argument against capitalism is that it leads to only a privileged few getting all the wealth, opportunities and freedom while the rest become wage slaves and debt slaves. It is the ultimate capitulation to artificial scarcity as if that's somehow the best we can do as a species.

All the homelessness, overpriced healthcare and education, unaffordable housing, etc exists because of capitalism and it's supporters look at this and say "good. fuck the poor." or "this is the best we can do."

I stopped being a libertarian because I was tired of the cynical capitulation.

Were the people who fought and killed the nazis in WWII monsters? No, they did it to protect humanity. Sociopath billionaires going away is also necessary to protect humanity.

They're sociopaths. They don't care about us.

The way you fight is by using Linux and contributing to the percentage of Linux users on the steam hardware survey. Developers pay attention to that. More Linux users means more support in the future.

Everyone wants to switch to Linux but nobody wants to make the sacrifice of being one of the early adopters to help turn the tide away from windows.

I'm personally gonna do a dual boot with windows as a backup.

Capitalism is a system that rewards sociopathic behavior, so sociopaths with no empathy or investment in anything other than themselves naturally rise to the top.

The oligarchs who control our nation are all mentally ill narcissistic sociopaths who don't care what happens to the country or to humanity or the earth after they're gone. Life to them is a story where they're the main character and everyone else is an expendable NPC.

This is why capitalism is considered unsustainable to anyone other than those who idolize the oligarchs and wish to become one themselves. This is why hierarchy and class is something we should be trying to eliminate from society, not lean into even further. When human ego and individualism is allowed to be the cornerstone of human society, it is a matter of when, not if, that society eventually crumbles to the long term effects of wealth inequality.

It's not just about taxes. It's about maintaining his status as an oligarch.

denuvo execs are going on the list.

I'm not a huge fan of liberals either but anyone with a brain can see that modern conservatives are anti-intellectual hate cult retards who think that truth is dictated by consensus and proclamation, and they deserve to be as unpopular and ridiculed as they are because they had decades to prove that their punitive ideological approach works and they failed horribly.
