The person thinks inflation and pyramid schemes are the same thing. I think your argument is falling on deaf ears.

I keep trying to use the word that really sums up these people and corporations: evil.

I’m not sure most people understand how neoclassical economics is based on “arm chair general” style models largely divorced from reality.

And how horrible an ideology it really is to have had infiltrate every aspect of western life and culture.

The more I look at it, the more I see how a large part of our current societal issues can be laid at the feet of this ideology masked as science.

Alan Moore

Saga of the Swamp Thing and Watchmen are two amazing runs of comics he wrote.

Huge fan of his recent-ish novel, Jerusalem.

How dare we want to… checks notes … Eat food and experience some of life before we MAYBE live until we are 70

I’ve seen this and known the end was coming since I was a teenager 25 years ago.

Who care about consumer spending when I’ve been watching the current biosphere die off for my whole adult life?

I’m supposed to save for a future in a society that’s pretty obviously collapsing as the biosphere deteriorates?

I don’t have zero hope for the future but the idea that this current infinite expansion system can continue is obviously wrong.

Obviously there is more than just this, but Newt Gingrich has a lot to answer for
