All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake "public opinion" for the benefit of the bourgeoisie (lemmygrad.ml)

Don’t you love slums, homelessness, people not being able to afford education or medical bills, low minimum wages that are supposed to be made livable by customers tipping, genocidal war crimes on the 3rd world and tax cuts for the rich? I hope you do, because that’s what capitalism has historically delivered on and it will continue to fulfill its promises. Except for the promise that you may become rich one day. More than 90% of people will die in the class they were born into or fall down into a lower class. Why simp for Capitalism when Elon Musk and Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos are the only ones doing better? Is your life personally better because the top oil companies have made it their mission to destroy our planet forever? Is Exxon going to give you any of the money they earn by putting Pipelines in indigenous lands? Will Amazon give you a few bucks here and there because their tax cuts mean they have more disposable income? No, these companies will continue to exploit innocent people with pollute the world with no care as to how it may affect you or your family. Seriously, if you think Capitalism is the high watermark for how successful a society can be, you need to dream bigger, because this is shit. Inflation and taxes are through the roof in the US and I imagine Europe isn’t exactly paradise either.
