@thenewsdesk @news-thenewsdesk #LateStage #Walk Walking is fucking good for you, I mean you don't want your offspring walking incredible amounts. But around you see no one kid wise on the streets. I'm fucking 60 and you never see kids. Maybe it is just my hood. I'm in dumb suburban hell.
@baldur #LateStage baby, either your in the #Streets, dying on you couch, or perhaps defending your right to survive at any costs. You do you. Most things in life are in shades of grey, others are completely binary and absolute in nature. Make your choice. #LiveorDie

It's beginning to look like #Plato was more prescient about governments than Karl Marx ever was. After all, Plato claimed that democracy eventually degenerates into oligarchy before finally reaching a tyrannical state. OTOH, #Marx argued that capitalism emerged from feudalism only to suffer crises until it finally reaches an utopian ideal in communism. Given the recent events in USA & the rise of oligarchs, #latestage #capitalism has become #neofeudalism, Plato wins this round.
One of the best quotes that I have heard on 'unchecked and unbridled capitalism' comes from Rob Rosenthal, host of the SoundSchool podcast from @prx, and a podcaster I greatly respect and consider as a mentor.
In a recent episode where Rob spoke from the heart about #Spotify ruthlessly culling good shows and good people from its roster, he said:
"Unlimited growth is the logic of a cancer cell."
This line lives rent-free in my head.
I've heard, on occasion an argument that can be paraphrased somewhat along the lines: "Regulations are a sneaky way of bringing socialism to a capitalistic economy."
Yeah, you're right.
But do you realise what that also means?
It means socialism is the only thing that can keep unbridled capitalism in check.
And, if you paid any attention in school, you would know that unbridled anything is the very definition of cancer.

A recent comment I read somewhere about #latestage and #endstage #capitalism got me wondering...
What does post-capitalism look like?
I mean the #posttruth world has been a #dystopian nightmare and we are still reeling. Would post-capitalism also similarly be 'horrors beyond comprehension'?
Is there even such a thing as post-capitalism?
Don't you just adore how plenty of folk bash #redhat, while (still, 30 years later) often readily accept a hundred bucks to Microsoft or Apple when buying a computer , because... yeah why exactly? #latestage ... Do you. It's your wallet.
I can see that we are nearing #latestage #capitalism, I can’t yet tell if we are knee deep or neck deep, but I feel the wet water.
To add and compound this, I’d like to posit we are also in late stage #individualism. We have essentially established a norm where we are no longer willing to be #governed.
