Seriously. This country couldn’t do a better job promoting socialism if it tried. Capitalism to a majority of people under 50 means instability and hardship.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 20 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

The ones born after the Great Depression lived through an abnormal period of capitalism. One that featured a lot of socialist policies. As far as I've read, most people were well aware that capitalism was dog shit for the working class before that and a lot believed socialism was the solution.

the boomers were sold socialism with American characteristics mislabeled as capitalism

[–] ToadOfHypnosis@lemm.ee 18 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes. Capitalism was in an ideological battle with communism so the government put its thumb on the scale with socialism but gave credit to capitalism for the outcome. Then billionaires spent 75 years indoctrinating, corrupting, and distorting history to claw back their power.

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 3 points 6 hours ago

This guy is informed. Socialism got us out of the hole capitalism dug in the depression. Seeing their power slip away, conservative politicians wasted no time in shifting the narrative. The US needs another FDR to equalize things (let's just skip the prison camps this go).

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And exploitation. And extortion.

And exhaustion and depression

Life for the working class has gotten progressively worse every year for my entire life.

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 46 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Not all, pandemic years were fucking glorious in tech. Then the rich decided to punish us for being both more productive and happy. Because we can demand more pay when we aren't scared.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

I still miss that magical 6 month period when my stress was 1/3rd of the rest of my life.

Yeah in Canada it was used by conservatives to launch an anti vaxxing protest in an attempt to install an unelected fascist government in Ottawa so that was cool

I've lived through enough once in a lifetime events for the next 10 years thank you

a boring life would feel like a zen garden to this ronin.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Buckle up, you’ve got a lifetime of one in a lifetime events ahead of you.

Get ready to seize that opportunity! Huge equity deals in the next 6-12 months. My pants are getting tighter just thinking about it.....

[–] CannedCairn@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Guess I better get money magically to do that when the opportunity is ready?

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm pumping into them European stocks like no tomorrow

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

That’s what I need to do. I just gave up recently. I was so happy to be sitting here as a stay at home dad and making money.

I’m glad I mostly cashed out when dipshit Don was elected because I knew he was going to tank us.
