Capitalism is not millennia old. Capitalism (as commonly defined) only stared to take root after the black death (1350ish) flipped feudalism on its head. Suddenly the free and unfree peasant class had some control of their own destiny and could sell their skills to whomever they wanted at whatever price they could get. Serfs could declare themselves free. Land was often up for grabs.

Alas, the alternative to capitalism has never been socialism, but feudalism.

The rise in interest rates meant easy money dried up for corporations. They all had to "monitize" at the same time. That's why enshitification happened everywhere at the same time. Things are easing. Enshitification will slow down.

It's not even a concious conspiracy, it's just the result of "the attention economy".

It's so anti-Trump voters will waste their votes instead of voting for Haley.

Um, no, that's not at all what it's saying. It is saying China should ease off the cronie capitalism and try a little socialism for ordinary people.

Did OP edit their comment? Because calling Xi "Winnie" is not racist.

Militant Evangelical Atheists are the worst. Give me a good laid back agnostic any day.

How can we know if anything of value has been lost?
