Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

All part of the wealth transfer from the working class to the capitalist class. Conservatives have used the false narrative of the rich losing their wealth to the lower classes through taxes. The working class repubs swallowed the narrative and voted to help the rich get richer.

Now let’s see if they do it yet again in the midterms or if they’ve really woken up and learned how toxic fat hitler really is…

It's hard with cultists, knowing that if you take the position of being antifascist they will take offense. Gov. Walz was right, they are wierd.

With the level of access to everyone's banking and SS accounts stolen by DOGE, payments can be tailored to reward recipients by what party they vote for. The citizen credit score in use by China is on it's way. Data centers come to mind as well.

Repubs don't need to plan for any of this, it's already happened many times before. Autocratic regimes are usually initially successful but the unsustainable corruption and greed mostly leads to collapse. It's the needless suffering during these cycles that our species chooses not to stop.

Left at 17 years old in 1975 for the Navy. Other than a few brief visits, have'nt been back. Still it's a firm foundation for a loner,closest country I found like it was south of France. I am astounded that there are people now willing to engage in nuclear war, or ignore climate change and pollution

It will degrade to " being able to stand up". FDR did it and was upfront about it. Dumpy is depending on machinery and a bible beating diaper bag carrier.

fun fact: The Treaty of Tripoli, 1796, Signed by Prez John Adams, includes: "As the government of the United States of America is *not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion*, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of [Muslims].." Just saying.

But it is self regulating like the physical world is. What survives will grow into something that is stronger by design. Nature rewards efficiency not ideology.

Mass surveillance is the goal of capitalism. Continuos growth cannot be sustained without thought control. The much vilified Karl Marx wrote of this many decades ago. Capatalism will destroy humanity. It does not exist in nature.
