Default Maybe we should return to:

Feudalism.

Because that is what the oligarchy is doing under a different name. If you're lucky you can be a minor department store lord or McDonalds Lord.

Or even a Lawyer Knight. Or a hollywood court jester!

If you could understand how retarded I was, your brain would implode out your ass leaving your thong wrapped around your testicles till they fell off and slapped you in the face.

Don't blame people. They're just doing their best. Blame the universe.

Ever incarnation of our civilization will have this, unless we become a collective maybe. But there should still be some stratification in the command structure, with higher ups still issuing orders to grunts on the lower rungs. So if you just happen to be a grunt, damn that sucks. They'll issue you lots of feel good juice, if it's ever a problem.

The way I read your OP is "I want to live in a collective." Can you blame me? History is rich with technological and social and biological change, but competition and stratification remains. Why should I think it will end?

I'm not saying things won't get better. I think they will. It'll just never be a perfect blissful place. I don't think it'll ever be that way unless we hit a limit. If we learn everything and explore everything, we'll finally be able to rest.

JUst follow advice from people. There're many, many wise people who know success and teach it.

Its far from feudalism.

Your social network and hustle still goes a very long way in our current system.

Under feudalism, there is no secret handshake, no friend of a friend, no "I know a guy who knows a guy", no I hustled harder, no Mitt Romney Mormon fraternity that can help you achieve the success possible under the current system.

Is there an oligarch class? Well yeah capitalism is going to produce big winners. Whether you create the oligarchs through crony capitalism, or through the merit system in Russia, an oligarchy is a reality in a free market.

What we need to do is preserve what's left of capitalism, and demand equal treatment both the plebs and the oligarchs. No bailouts for failed leverage buyouts by investment banks and VCs.

I don't get bailed out if I fail in my own estate and tank my mortgage because I made a mistake. Too big to fail? Ok, maybe 1 or 2 bailouts....hundreds of bailouts? Going back to 1990s? Gross. Makes me lose my appetite.

I'm no socialist. I'm just not blind deaf and dumb. Socialism is ok when its for the oligarchs, and plebs love pain and suffering so much they don't think they deserve equal treatment. That is just sick. Get that middle class man who's under water by 40k a fucking bailout right fucking now.

No, but people unwilling to take risks and stand up for what is right and willing to do wrong to employees under them just because there bosses gets a bonus and they get uncontested cellphone time in the back room IS the majority of our economic problems. These ignoble people have lost all value and humanity and comprise a large part of franchise department managers. Their education received from a printer.

I'm not calling for any form of socialism or communism. I'm pointing out the flaws in our human nature through parody.

I would be happy if people could in general be held to a higher ethical standard. which is what the dems mostly are fighting for. (through a civilized and legal consensus)

Fixed this for you IYRD [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

PS really what I hear from conservative people is "I want to do what I want without any rules, and I don't care if America gets raped and pillaged by anyone" If I was just free to own a gun and drive my big diesal without any carbon emitions testing we'd be free and everyone would have big diesals.

Naw, fuck you guys. Have ur diesals, but don't be asshats about it and put loud noises and ballsacks all over.

P.S. You want socialism to take over and smooth the transition from pre 1950's era capitalism to NWO socialism, otherwise your going to have so much bloodshead and a lot of it is going to be the rich. (were talking about centuries of class warfare, i'm not talking about rebellion tommorow nite if trump is elected).

P.S. If trump was elected id be sad, but id still do exactly what I'm doing now and if he attacked me as a person, a woman, or a transwoman, i'd fight back. Just like any other woman would. Though I doubt he could do much of anything.

If you want to live in a country where organized criminals run your healthcare system and no one has any rights, go to mother Russia.

P.S. we have our own criminal bullshit going on, but it's not as bad as russia bro. Putin it up your ass is where Trump wants to be.

Yep I berged out [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
