Everything’s a subscription, or wants you to sign up for one. I want off this shitshow please.
One. Hundred. Fucking. Percent.
They call it a ‘rentier’ based capitalism where you never get to own anything, just have to keep paying for the same thing over and over. It is insane.
Ive been on the phone for an hour and they wont let me fucking cancel
Found the best answer is telling them you can’t afford it anymore, followed by telling them everything negative about your life in a lifeless tone. After a while, they’ll do anything to get you off the phone.
Most people online seemingly prefer to live in a shit hole without any infrastructure at all then to discuss how to fix their government to reduce waste of tax money…
The fix is easy. Guillotines. Corrupt politicians. CEOs. Anyone with a net worth over a certain amount.
Off with their heads.
Guillotines…
I would remind you that the people who started the reign of terror by calling for and lopping off the heads of the nobility ended up taking La Monte-à-regret (The Regretful Climb) themselves.
Well yes, because what really happened was one upper class being replaced by another. The workers/lower class was exploited throughout, and that never changed.
Politicians are supposed to be representatives of the people, but no matter where you live right now, they’re owned by corporations, and champion corporate interests. Corporations are not our friends. Thus by extension, politicians aren’t either.

Most of the taxes are redistributional. So you’re right and wrong at the same time.
The government should exist only to provide essential services and regulation to the market, nothing else.
There’s an awful lot of devil in those details. Does health care qualify as an essential service? How about Social Security, which is the only reason working-class people don’t all become homeless once they’re too old to work? Mail? Roads? Firefighting? Modern governments do an awful lot, and life would be an awful lot worse if they didn’t, but it costs an awful lot of money.
Effort should be made to root out wasteful government spending, of course, but that means unraveling the twisted schemes of those who would misappropriate tax money without destroying the government functions they’ve attached themselves to, and much like surgically removing a cancerous growth from an organ without destroying the entire organ, it is neither easy nor permanent.
Soooo… I’m pirating my country?
