2023-04-06 at 5:57 PM UTC‘We may be looking at the end of capitalism’: One of the world’s oldest and largest investment banks warns ‘Greedflation’ has gone too far
It should be remarkable that when even a diehard capitalist economist is heralding the end of capitalism, then such a message should not be ignored. In a circular economy, the costs to keep the circle going are being raised beyond what the average consumer can afford, and that in itself can bring about collapse. Greedflation is an in-your-face example of Marx's fictitious capital come to life.
Welcome to late-stage capitalism. -

Who wouldn't love soaring income inequality, where a handful of billionaires own more wealth than the entire bottom half of the population? It's simply amazing how big corporations wield unprecedented power and influence over governments, shaping policies to their advantage. The way workers are treated as mere expendable cogs in the profit-making machine, with stagnant wages, precarious employment, and exploitative labor practices is awesome.
As is the financial speculation and frequent economic crises that benefit the ultra-rich, while ordinary people bear the brunt of the consequences. And the environmental degradation and destruction caused by unregulated capitalism? It's beautiful. Who needs a habitable planet, right?
Late stage capitalism is just a utopia where greed is celebrated, social safety nets are dismantled, and the pursuit of profit trumps human well-being and dignity. It's truly a dream come true for those who believe that the wealthy deserve even more wealth and power, while the rest of us should just die. -

Doesn't help when mindless fools take the word of known establishment muppets like it's some kind of gospel. Ever heard the term "useful idiots"? You're part of the problem, not the solution. -

I've seen you make the parrot comparison a couple of times now... Do you not even know what a parrot is or some shit?
Parrots are already intelligent, living, conscious creatures that have independently survived in the wild for millions of years. No you can't program anything into a parrot, you can train it though. The mechanized one doesn't have the limitation though so it can do more intelligent things already and without millions of years of evolution necessary to boot.
If you have already granted AI "parrot" then I'm not sure if the downplay is supposed to exist in the "mechanized" part or what. What were you even trying to convey? -

No need to overthink it, kid. The clowns put out another fake, and they're using it to brainwash people with their lies.
