    That’s the weirdest thing about it. “Green” can be, and is profitable. Why pass up the opportunity to be the front-runners in what could be the new age of wealth?

      with late stage capitalism, you get better ROI sabotaging the competition and just generally smashing shit around you. america is filled to the brim with disaster capitalists and republicans being in power is their green-light to finally take their masks off

        I like you, but I don’t like your words because they make sense. I do wonder sometimes if it is actually late stage, or just 1929 stock market crash repeating with some variations. Or all the market crashes of the late 1800s. A lot of similarities, going up to 1929 people were doing BNPL on RCA radios. Today it’s groceries and cell phones.

        I will say one thing though, late stage capitalism sounds dark and scary because “the way of life” is going away, which always means we poors suffer and die. The other angle, is maybe something better will finally fight its way to the surface. Not what those billionaire idiots want though. Hopefully it will be as damaging to them now as it was back in the 20th century when they were somewhat put in their place for a century. Capitalism only ever worked if the evil was regularly regulated, as greed is inherent in the design.

        Next Stargate reboot ep, SG-1 visits a planet where they have the centennial saving of freedom by vanquishing the evil rich, as told over a few centuries, and only SG-1 can save them this time.
