Carter @thecartercat.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Hey so if capitalism means we need to have constant gains for shareholders then that means private prison companies like GEO Group have to have profits go up even as crime goes down. Ergo, immigration sweeps, new categories of crime to feed the machine. Idk guys seems like a bad system 050

Carter @thecartercat.bsky.social · 07/02/2026This is probably a consequence of the circles I travel in academically, but I am always shocked when people claim expertise in a topic they know nothing about beyond the superficial state propaganda line.

Carter @thecartercat.bsky.social · 02/02/2026I genuinely wonder how anyone reads the news without a materialist/class-based analytical framework. Sadly, it appears the overwhelming majority of Americans read it from a good vs. evil framework. In this, liberals and conservatives are the same, they just assign labels differently. 010
