    When the rich are in crisis, the government bails them out.

    When we’re in crisis, we’re supposed to stop eating avocado toast…

        The working class are nothing but tools for the upper class. Always have been. We are the unclean undesirables.

        Is the working class failing?

        If the entirety of it stopped working, im pretty sure it would be considered “too big to fail”

            Exactly. Everyone’s a revolutionary in the boardroom but you’re lucky if anybody’s got your back stomping up to the manager’s office.

            It has always been a struggle that seemed to require starving to really get the ball rolling.

      Nowadays, a relevant part of the post-war and grandchildren’s generation is forcefully advocating the continued existence of precisely this capitalism. They believe that its “value-based liberalism” gives them the moral legitimacy to sweep away competing capitalisms because their competitors are not “liberal” but “authoritarian.” As if they were not subject to the same laws of the marketplace. The bottom line is that the “liberality” of the West lies only in the granting of no-cost freedoms, which are valid as long as one premise always remains untouched: submission to the principle of the exploitation of man and nature.

    The crisis is that us plebs are speaking out and complaining about the gruel we’re not getting.

    When companies are in crisis there is always a bailout.
    The normal man is just suppose to die for the corporate overlord rather than get help.

      You’re getting downvoted because it sounds like you think COVID is fake. I agree with you that companies made up every reason they could to raise prices, but it was because COVID was a good scapegoat, not because COVID is fake.

        Exactly. If there’s a line companies love saying it’s “In these uncertain times…” The more you’re worried about unpredictability, the more predictable their little lines get…

        Seems like it. War, covid, inflation, it’s all very convenient scapegoat. Updooted OP.

        Was I getting downvoted? I didn’t see, but yeah exactly, they used covid as a scapegoat, which was completely bullshit

      It’s not nothing. It’s so you think it’s ok that they’re stealing your wages, and ruining the world. The media is part of the crisis.
