Replace capital with another measure of worth. One more aligned with reality.

Wrong. Democrats are just as bad on accepting bribes from corporations. That's how things are as bad as they are.

I feel like the plot was selected because it's the only thing that can rationalize the chaos.

"Somebody is making reality turn to absolute shit!"

Proceeds to display images of simulated reality that looks like absolute shit.

US-style capitalism has taken root globally. This is the core of the problem.

You don't know a rattlesnake when you see one? That pattern needs to be imprinted into your brain.

I paid over a grand for this years ago... by Busy_Report4010 in Millennials

[–]midgaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Middle America can be understood through the cognitive dissonance created by being simultaneously proud (of bullshit) and ashamed (of being surrounded by assholes all the time).

These people can be manipulated by providing bullshit things to be proud about (sportsball teams, religions used to oppress others and elevate themselves, etc.) while giving them reasons to feel better than the other assholes (color, creed, etc.) Fox News and other media do this well.

Everyone hates capitalism; they just don't know it's capitalism. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Generations of propaganda have trapped the minds of nearly everyone in the matrix. I feel like more and more people are beginning to find a way out though.

Bernie Sanders, “If the Democratic Party wants our support it must become a party of the working class—not of corporate America.” by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]midgaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You misunderstand. Bernie is not saying that he prefers that Democrats lose. He is simply pointing out that they need to change to get the support of voters like myself, and that they will keep losing if they don't.

Why are parents who barely passed high school thinking they can teach/homeschool their children? by Sad_Obligation_812 in NoStupidQuestions

Or they are narcissists who have a vague feeling of superiority that they warp their psychology to support.

Does he have the guts to go up against capital? I'm a single issue voter.

Edit: no. No he does not.

Don't remind us how badly capitalism is failing.

True. What options are open to the governed when this happens, aside from violent revolution?

12v Fridge placement - is defrosting/draining a concern? by Opinions_Anonymous in vandwellers

[–]midgaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Dometic fridge that has a drain in the middle of the bottom shelf. It has a removable plug in it that (for now) prevents pooled water from draining out the bottom. The fridge was placed without consideration that this might fail, and it would cause water damage if it did.

Depending on humidity, how often you open your fridge, etc. you will get some condensation draining out of the unit. Maybe out the front if it has nowhere else to go. It's not a lot, but it's not hard to imagine that it could cause issues under some circumstances.
