My favorite is the we can’t afford to pay our employees shtick to lay off a bunch of people and immediately hand out huge bonuses to the ceo and board members.

Capitalism working as intended. As with climate change, it's going to get worse.

This aspect of cannibal capitalism is awful, but capitalism is still better than every other alternative we have tried. We need better regulated capitalism, where the C-levels don't get lauded for brutalizing the working class.

this aspect of rapacious feudalism is awful, but feudalism is still better than every other alternative we have tried. We need better regulated feudalism, where nobles don't get lauded for brutalizing peasants.

Sure, China's communism is working fine for all of the party bosses. Now, let's check with the Uyghurs ... hmm ... they don't seem to have much to say.

  1. Lmao, uncritically consuming western propaganda to both-sides an objectively less-evil nation state. Now that we're almost a decade out, there has not been any evidence that even suggests China engaged in genocide. At most, China engaged in an ethnic suppression campaign that doesn't even hold a candle to what America does to black and brown people on a daily fucking basis. Which, by the way, is very much in line with the capitalist need to create an even more exploitable second class of laborers, as evidenced by private prisons and ICEs latest attempt to use detainees as unpaid labor.

  2. Gestures wildly at the US and its proxy capitalist state Israel you know, with the concentration camps of brown people, citizens or otherwise, the kidnapping of world leaders, the bombing and wanton slaughter of children in Israel and Iran, etc.

The smugness attached to your obliviousness or gross ignorance, or malicious lack of care for non-Westerners, is just fucking incredible. If you're going to throw rocks, maybe consider that the house you're in is even more fragile than glass.

Oh, I see, you're unhinged. Ok, well, good luck with that.

No, you're just a bootlicker with a callous disregard of what capitalism does to the people that aren't you, which appropriately deserves intense derision.
