Amazing comment. Ever since beginnign to experience gut issues that only appear when I am unemployed or feel my job is under threat, I have observed the ailments of friends and loved ones in a new light. You just added another layer to my questioning. To be clear, I am not reaching conclusions but just asking more questions.

Fair enough. I've never heard of the place, but my point stands.

Basically yes. It's only useful in the idealistic universe of grade school political science. In actual politics, collusion, careerism, bribery, etc. will persist. A different set of official rules is only a different starting point for the same inevitable behavior. Furthermore, in America's case, the ultimate check will always be the check the capitalists are writing to the politicians.

Sure. I didn't need and I doubt anybody else needed any convincing of this, but it's still an utter deviation from and completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

Congratulations on derailing yet another meaningful conversation into a one-sided race war.

You are misreading, if reading at all. I have no idea what you're responding to. I definitely didn't do that.

However, their status only ostensibly depended on the color of their skin. Their function was of course literally to labor for the profits of the southern gentile.

Racism is a byproduct of capitalism. The Black Panthers did not repeat this ad nauseam for no reason.

They didn't say everybody's personal liberty. Of course working people are still all subject to exploitation hand over fist. Regardless, your comment is nothing but a pointless deviation.

> I don't think people are cookie-cutter clones of each other, or blank slates at birth either.

Who said anything even close to that?

> There's hereditary/genetic components to selfishness, psychopathy, etc. Not every human born will be compatible with a given societal system.

or that?

> Some personalities, whether by evolution or upbringing or personal development, will succeed more in some systems than others.

or that?

I would only disagree that such people are inherently bad. Rather, they are fulfilling the role that the dictates of capitalism requires of their given class.

All people are inherently good, however all people are inherently social beings. Since capitalism is dominated by humans' relations to capital instead of humans' relations to eachother, the social nature of the human species is repressed, and as such people cannot be their true selves under capitalism.

Capitalists would love nothing more than for you to believe that some of them are good and some of them are bad, which is the guiding narrative behind nearly all capitalist propaganda. In reality, they are humans just like ourselves and the system is to blame.

Glassdoor reports Netlify as having 51-200 employees, so based on your 46 number this layoff affected anywhere between 23% and 90% of Netlify's employees. Pretty disturbing.

Under capitalism, cities have no incentive to get better at counting the homeless. In fact, they are more incentivized to increase their rate of death than to calculate their rate of existence.

Who said it's a new argument? My point holds regardless of how true or new the argument is.

Sources for such nonsense are extremely easy to come by in the US media. The ruling class pushes such propaganda non-stop.

If true then capitalism is fundamentally unjust and must be replaced.

The babysitter is always capital itself, hence why it's called capitalism.

Sometimes the babysitter gets distracted or gives in for a while, but it always comes back and it always has the final word.

I've always thought of a time machine as being capable of traversing time but not rearranging it.

Think again. Anchor was unionized. Stone is not.
