in my mind, it's not even capitalism. there are rules against monopolies, and people are supposed to pay their taxes to not become unfathomably rich. these rules are just not enforced, because everyone is arguing about wether trans people deserve to exist or not. politicians need to take their job seriously. and the only way to change that is from within. join a party and do jour job properly. complaining about capitalism isn't making the situation better either.

Surely people have already tried the “joining a political party with good intentions” approach. Being a politician means responding to the publics ever changing concerns. You can’t always focus on whats important because thats not necessarily what the public wants, whether its good for them or not
