Greed seems to be the inevitable outcome, at the expense of other humans and animals around us all. It's disturbing and has no real end-game of benefit now that we have automation. The question is how do we take back control from the authoritarians?
We can't. People like to think it's possible by voting in the "right" type of person and things like peacefully protesting etc. The truth is that it's a lost cause. We can't make the changes necessary to fix the planet, stop the ultra rich or any other large scale issue. I know I sound defeatist, but it's true. Short of bloody violence we're stuck like this.
I wish you were wrong.
This is the sad truth that kills me.
Until we have a world war that outs those in power, at great loss of life, we will only get worse.
Even if we magically voted for principled politicians. The money holders would simply hide behind a foreign flag.
I still don't know why communism gets a bad rap, as a CONCEPT, not IMPLEMENTATION. People seem to conflate the two, whereas in the modern age of technology it makes the most sense.
Also, we don't confuse CONCEPT and IMPLEMENTATION in a lot of other cases. Like, do I like fresh air? Yes, certainly! Do I like open windows in the winter? No, definitely not.
I get it. Thanos doesn't have the infinity stones and communism is about to fail.
Lmao no. It just means that Communism is inevitable.
Sometimes a meme should be taken at face value but it really does leave it open here, not only does Thanos lose, he gets whooped on by Captain Liberalism first.
Brutal action.
Oh there's a benefit. Me me me. That's the core issue with Greed. Selfishness. In the end, that's what drives the greedy.
Sure there are examples of them sharing their wealth in ways (usually minimally) but at no point like it be at a major expense to themselves.
