Doing so is the only thing I ever did that suddenly made all of the crimes of all of these people, and the inaction of the supposed orgs to hold them responsible for those crimes, make sense.

I mean, yeah, voting for 3rd parties is a thing, maybe at the local level it can even happen, but I think both D and R will collude to lock out any real contenders at the national level.
Capitalism will never be defeated as long as humans desire to be "Kings of their space" Communism could only ever work if there were a way to ensure the people on top were incorruptible, but it is human nature to want more for yourself.

There was a potential spot for an AI programmed overlord, though that is being remove as a possibility with " Equity " and other race based distract and divide tactics to keep the rabble fighting over the top of the bucket.

Coming into an energy surplus would also never be allowed because almost every job we have in the world is simply busy work. The amount of effort that goes into a plastic pre-packed salad is boggling, and the waste it produces is ridiculous.

The only future for humanity would truly be an immense die off of 80% of the population, the useless eaters, then an entire global effort to pool all resources towards space fairing status. Until that happens we are a solar flare or meteor from the fucking stone-age again.

I would make the penalties for greed pretty severe if it were left up to me to make rules in some future society. I dunno if I'd kill anyone but I would cook up something. I don't think this sentiment is even that unpopular, when you ask around. Republicans seem to think all Democrats approve of it, and Democrats seem to think all Republicans approve of it. Which I believe is precisely what those greedy people would want the plebs to think.

I don't see why it has to be the yin and yang of capitalism or communism. I think we can take pieces of both and forge something better than both.

I am sure it is human nature to want more, but is it human nature to act to get more for yourself? I'm not sure it is. Many religions try to teach us to share, in essence. I have found most people will help strangers unless helping is detrimental to them.
