I for one would be none-the-happier if the "global bank run" just goes through three banks: SVB, Credit Suisse, and UBS. And would just stop right then & there.

...Because yeah sure the Lehman Brothers bank run in 2008 ruined a lot of lives in the US and at many national economies the world over. But a bank run crisis was what also burned down the Soeharto regime in 1998, here in Indo, w/ physical riots, death & ultraviolence as result.

"Cryptocurrency will save the day"..? Get the dank ferrik out of here with that bantha poodoo. Stupid lazerbrain idiot.

"... global capitalism ... [is] in danger of destroying itself from the inside out ... as the economy grows, those who own all the assets get more and more, those who don't get poorer and poorer, and as a result growth slows as the machine grinds to a halt. And the key to stopping this doom loop lies in addressing inequality and productivity."

Remember the Uyghurs in China and how they are systematically stripped from their culture and way of life? Well, in a very unsurprising twist it has to come to light that Western capitalists bank off of the enslavement of the Uyghur muslims.

The terror of global capitalism makes us all complicit in its grotesque cynicism, profiting off of social misery abroad while engaging in insipid progressivism at home. Truly, slavery has never stopped being essential to the capitalist way of production.
