    I never didn’t when I reached the age of reason and saw the social tolerance celebration worship of unchecked avarice as the core rot in our civilization for what it is.

    Im glad so many are finally overcoming their capitalist “greed is rational and your lessers have to lose for you to win” programming, even at this late hour as the capitalists burn the very world under our feet… and your grandmother who needs a hip replacement or chemotherapy alive… for another nickel on their hoards.

      social worship of unchecked avarice

      I love this phrase. It covers a lot in so few words.

      Unfortunate that it describes the actual world rather than some dystopian YA novel.

        Thank you sincerely!

        When one of your hobbies becomes finding new and interesting ways to make the same points at clouds and brick walls on the internet, as mine has, you come to find efficiency in eloquence.

        It helps me to at least feel like I’m holding onto my sanity in insane times.

          You are sincerely welcome! I thought that whole comment of yours distilled a lot of our/my frustrations down to a few hard-hitting sentences.

          I mean, I could have just as easily used this one:

          capitalist “greed is rational and your lessers have to lose for you to win” programming

          I think every other sentence you write could be used as an answer on Jeopardy and the question would always be “How is so much so wrong with the world? It doesn’t have to be this way!”
