    Yeah, capitalism has wholly captured and groomed the worst of the political class to the state and federal level, and everyone’s still acting like the average politician is just some ineffective idealist, instead of a white collar criminal positioned because they were corrupt.

    It’s like how people still default to “won’t someone think of the small businesses and competition” when regulations are mentioned. Everyone still acts like it’s the 50’s and we still have mom & pop style small businesses, when capitalism has already destroyed the lions share of small or family owned businesses, and achieved a functional-monopoly in every major industry.

    The last century of corporate propaganda was a roaring success.
