And we've been here before, roughly 200 years ago. We already had that wonderful unadulterated capitalism. Then some crazies fought for more equality and while they didn't get there all the way, some of their ideas were fully incorporated into our systems.
And now? Back to zero? Will history literally repeat itself?
This pattern has happened over and over and over, generation cycle after generation cycle. Humans are dumb af and I have given up all hope it will self-correct. Even if we had a global civilization ending event, the pattern would survive. Fuckin humans are fundamentally broken and if my disappointment were tangible, it would collapse under its own gravity into a singularity.
I wouldn't go quite that far, but you do you.
Hold on to that hope. Don't become the bitter old man you see before you 😉
