    Hyper competitive global market Capitalism, that infects every aspect of our lives, teaches us to compete against each other as enemies. The zero sum mindsets of “you have to lose so I can feel like I’ve won” and “You’re poverty makes me feel wealthier by comparison” and “look at those selfish homeless people lowering my property values by greedily continuing to exist while destitude.”

    As end stage capitalism continues to progress and the top level capitalists fight to consume one another’s empires of dirt in their desperation for new growth/metastasis on a finite, overpopulated, already raped and pillaged world, what did you expect? That after a lifetime of being taught to be greedy, selfish, and sociopathic, oh sorry, rationally self-interested, we’d make lots of friends and have lots of next gen capital battery babies along the way?

    Fuck off. This is what live together or die alone looks like. Anything less would make us filthy commie socialists or something after all, amirite?
