    Yes and no. Fascist governments aren’t pointing their guns at big companies.

      Idk maybe you’re misinterpreting it

      People are paycheck to paycheck. We have no recourse.

      Landlords are month to month. They’ll consume us if they need to make things work.

      The banks live bailout to bailout at this point. They’ll consume landlords if they need to make things work.

      The government lives war to war. They’ll consume banks die if they can’t find other people that they’re stronger than who are playing a similar game with their banks, landlords, and people.

      This is why we must consume the rich.

      The point is that either way, the US government has the corporations “life” in its hands. If they go down, the Fortune 500 bailouts stop. That’s when the gun goes off.

    So a system that relies on endless growth thought the utiization of finite resources is not sustainable? Who would have thought?

      What a weird way to spell “compulsively sticking its nose and guns in everyone else’s shit”.

        Lmaoooooo yeah Ukraine is just screaming out for help every day from the oppression the US is inflicting on them.

        “Please, stop sending us weapons and being the reason we aren’t Russia right now!”

        Absolutely delusional stuff.

          Ahh yes, cherrypick an unrelated limited example where the US isn’t doing basic imperialism…

          Congratulations on being a fucking moron.
