Do you recall how kids play "shop", trading imaginary wares for imaginary money?
Capitalism is just like that, except it's adults doing that, with other adults watching them and trading even more imaginary money to have a share in their imaginary profits.

All my haters are broke, everybody else is a victim of capitalism.

If you put money above the people and the planet, then you are no friend of mine because from where I stand it means you would rather protect greed than stand beside me in the struggle for justice and freedom.

Capitalism is the iron cage in which human potential withers, an economic despotism that breeds inequality, alienation, and the hollowing of community life.

So I'm thinking of finally adding something meaningful to my mail signature — but I want to keep it short. How does this sound?

Today I heard that someone "blew off bubbles in [brand] app and won a bracelet". How low are people going to fall in the name of blind consumerism?

Sometimes I wonder why people worship authority-hungry clout chasers instead of tearing down the whole system that lets them stand above others. But then you realize this clown is the one steering the circus in the US right now, oh well, anyway, moving on.

Brutal similes
Using #AI is an ethical choice.
I know that there cases when an #LLM could make my job easier. Which doesn't mean I'll use one. Just like I won't be buying cheap junk gadgets that could help me with some random stuff a bunch of times before they'll end up on a trash pile.
Yes, sometimes I am curious what an LLM could come up with. But then, there are people who are curious how many donuts they can eat before throwing up. A waste of good donuts.
What world would you rather live in? One where you put a little more effort in your job? Or one where LLM helps with with your job, but you can't enjoy your free time anymore because the capitalists are using LLMs to turn every single aspect of your life into a nightmare, and eventually your employer just makes you do more and more until you're thrown out? But at least you will get a monthly trial of a statistical "friend" to "talk" about your trouble to.
Yeah, you can claim that training models does the most harm, and that's already happened, so not using them doesn't change much, and all the energy spent on it would be wasted. Or use the traditional "others" fallacy — others will use it anyway, others will fuel the vicious circle, so why renounce convenience. It's like when you learn that your dinner is human meat, and you decide to eat it anyway, because not eating it won't bring that human back to life, and if it's wasted, then their death will be for naught.

Shouldn't people who claim parts of a #forest as "private property" be responsible for tidying it up? In particular, removing the alcohol containers left after cutting down trees?
I'm so annoyed by this libertarian approach to property. "Mine — so I can bar entry, exploit and destroy", but never "mine — so I care and take responsibility".

Some billionaire is probably feeling empty right now, proof that no amount of wealth can fill the void created by a system built on inequality.
