Capitalism always exploits someone whether the bulk of the exploitation is within your country’s borders or not. Being perfectly comfortable within capitalism comes at the expense of someone else regardless of regulation.

Aren't people tired of flag discourse yet?

Right, I should've been more clear. I think there's a major disconnect between what the politicians want and what people want, but I think I was referring to the people when I said republicans and democrats in my previous message since so many people identify with either group for one reason or another. Not good phrasing on my part. It probably would've been easier to not use labels at all, but the main topic was about red v blue, so I stayed within that idea.

I also kinda need the hope of everyone getting sick of the late stage capitalism we live in and working together to fix it somehow. It's a lot harder to imagine that becoming a reality if it's only a handful of people going against everyone who calls themselves democrats or republicans.

I'd rather fight alongside republicans and democrats to make sure everyone lives in dignity and isn't ground into dust by the gears of capitalism rather than pushing more red vs blue rhetoric. Fuck the politicians that put the south in the position it's in today.

Also interesting that Sony makes more money selling insurance and banking in Japan than they do with their music globally.

C'mon, we can fit more than 2 billionaires in a sub.
