      Same. I can talk about combining Socialism, UBI, with a dash of heavily regulated capitalism that has wealth caps, and downvoters crawl out of the woodwork.

      Anyhow, toss me a link to one of your most detailed posts about this attention economy thing? I can’t promise to like it, but I should see if there are bits that would fit into the “Universal Ranked Income” system that I have been tinkering with.

          I’m not expert, but i’d start with ranked choice voting, campaign donations must come from a natural person and not a company, PAC, or any other organization, and term limits.

          Bring back the Fair doctrine or whatever it’s called and tax the shit out of the wealthy and super wealthy.

          Oh yeah, universal healthcare for all. Bring back regulating major industries and start basic income.

              You: FUCKING SOCIALIST!

              That’s the result of a disappointingly effective propaganda campaign. An entire generation being told to equate socialism with communism, then using USSR/Russian “communism” as the example of what they should be hating. Entrenching that idea further is being told the complete bullshit falsehood that the successful man is the self-made man, and the self-made man worked hard with no help to get where he is.

              It’s really no surprise that capitalists lack empathy and will dog whistle social welfare as “communism”

              I’m trying to contain a literal caldera of bitter vitriol, I am making a very strong effort not to use words that would get me banned, and I am probably going to fail.

              Listen you rancid swatch of fasciitis infected distended rectum, there is no point in any of my threads here were I mention socialism. Not fucking once.

              And this happens every motherFUCKING time I try to point out that rampant capitalism is literally killing the earth.

              Me: Hey guys, maybe money making money is a bad economy

              You: FUCKING SOCIALIST!

              That’s why I have a no discussion rule, because of assmasters like you

              And now that you’ve done your job of pissing me off to the point I get banned while looking like a cute little innocent angel, I’ll take my ban and you can fuck yourself till your bishop turns blue and falls off

              This is amazing copypasta.
