so basically you’re getting a surveillance device shipped straight to your living room.

    It feels like increasingly ads are used to sell ad supported products so you can watch ads for things with ads. And at the end of the road it’s scams and subscriptions. Like it’s a good thing I don’t like capitalism because it feels like it’s looking bloated and a concerning shade of yellow

      You don’t like capitalism because you’re the mark. Capitalism is for capitalists. Capitalists own capital. The vast, vast majority of the world, even in wealthy countries don’t own any capital. They own possessions, which is different. Capitalists have just spent capital confusing people into thinking they should like it.

        I also dislike capitalism because I’m justice oriented. Capital doesn’t want justice it wants constant mindless accumulation. But yeah it’s also a shell game with counterfeit money, at some point even the winners are gonna be caught holding the bag and everyone still around is fucked. Well we’ve been hearing police sirens for a while now, and now we can see cops heading over. But the con artists insist we keep playing instead of breaking down the table and making a run for it.
