Gonna go on a short rant about capitalism.
There's a lot to like about capitalism, in much the same way as there's a lot to like about a big, powerful engine in your car. But a car that's all engine struggles to change direction, it's uncomfortable, and only suits a few people.
Now there is SO much accumulated wealth, SO much capital generated by and extracted from working people, that paying this or that movie star to endorse a product is small beans. Just give shit away until anyone selling it goes out of business, and the market is yours.
I've been clicking on the "Probable spam" link at the bottom of threads, just to see what's there.
And it is all, without exception, people debunking climate change denial, debunking anti-vax, or debunking right-wing propaganda.
X is a shithole.
