Is there a word to describe "having been traumatized by Capitalism"? Such as, if I'm being"unproductive" I feel like a failure? Or if I walk out of a store without having bought anything, I feel like security assumes I've stolen something so I'm scared and anxious?

The Trouble With Inflation

this is in Aotearoa btw.

i found a house for sale on trade me. it includes a history of its sales.

in 2004 it sold for $50,000. currently, it costs $350,000.

in 2004 the minimum wage was $9 per hour, which today is $13.

the current minimum wage is a few cents over $23.

in the last 20 years, the minimum wage has increased by 1.8x~.

the cost of the house?

it increased by SEVEN TIMES.

the house is 5x more inflated than the minimum wage. the government is a few days away from officially increasing the minimum wage to $23, but it is still not enough.

if the minimum wage inflated proportionately, the minimum wage would be $91 per hour.

we need to eat the rich.

capitalism hellscape will genuinely ask you to suppress all human instincts for profit. like. charge your loved ones full price. cancel someone's order if they don't have enough money. throw away the perfectly good food you don't sell, don't give it away. don't be generous, don't be compassionate, don't be kind. it gets in the way of profits.

#i will not do any of that shit! #someone starts desperately scrounging for more change for the smallest size I'm like hon you're good #mine #capitalism is violence

Created this poem or song (Just for Fun):

Max Stirner's philosophy of the self, A unique individual, with no one else

In control, but himself alone No gods, no morals, a life he's shown

The ego, the self, is all that he sees Not society, nor the state, but only "me"

No duties, no obligations to any kind, Only his own desires, and will to stay alive

The concept of ownership, is not of things

But of oneself, and what a man brings

To the table, in his own right

A free spirit, free from any fright

Of conformity, or social norms

The individual, self-defined forms

A life of freedom, and personal power

Not bound by any man-made tower

So let us live, with our own will Not bound by others, or what they instill

But free to be, and free to see

The world as we wish, just you and me.

My mom was 50 hours short this previous school year and therefor will not be granted her human right of health care for her broken ankle, and said ankle means she cannot continue her work there as a para 2. No income, no savings, no insurance.

Not sure what we're going to do but my resolve to blow up banks has never been stronger. Capitalism is a fucking rot. Capitalism is violence. How long will we endure this violence before we fight back?

Everyone could be provided for if we killed these rich parasites.

Just saying

Does anybody have any advice? We live in Oregon

It seems like a good time to post this story I wrote...

They always made sure that the man in the lab coat was white and over 40 when he led the Senator into the lab. He gave the Senator the standard introduction about research protocols, about how important the experiment was and the fact that Senators, Billionaires, and other Elites were best to be studied to find out how the best kinds of people think. He sat the Senator down at the little table and pushed a button.

The wall panel at eye level flashed and revealed a screen. The screen showed a bird’s eye view of a bustling city sidewalk. The view appeared to be coming from a camera hovering and flying above. The Senator at the table looked at the screen and watched it with a bored look on his face. The man in the lab coat affixed electrodes to the Senator’s head, explaining that they were going to read brain activity during the experiment.

The man in the lab coat produced a small remote with one button. “If you push this button, you will get a million dollars.” The Senator looked at him with interest. “But the drone filming,” the man in the lab coat gestured to the screen, “will shoot and kill someone on that sidewalk.”

“Would I get arrested?”

“No, this is a military drone is flying over a Middle Eastern city. Most of the people down there are civilians.” The man in the lab coat placed the remote down on the table. “I’ll leave you alone, so you can decide what to do on your own. The reward will come out of a slot in the room—there’s no way for anyone to know which button you pushed unless you tell them. Knock on the door when you’re ready to leave.” The man in the lab coat left the room.

The man in the lab coat heard a soft beep on his monitoring equipment. He grabbed a clipboard and walked into the small room.

The Senator’s body was slumped on the table, completely lifeless. The man in the lab coat wrote something down on his paper. He looked almost like he was smirking. They were eight for eight so far.

"$7.25 is a liveable wage!"

"Rent should cost 1/3 of your income"

All right then - no rent should exceed $386

Lower the rent, you pussies

capitalism kills the working class. and once the working class dies, so does everyone else. ai replacing humans actively works in favor of capitalism. if the working class is robots, it can not die. it can not rebel. it can not fight back against corruption. ai is not your friend. it can be a useful tool. a tool that easily gets abused. if you let it replace people, you are helping capitalism kill. ai should not be misused. it is dangerous. do not let capitalism kill.

I have found the best ally

Straight and cis people will say that they are allies, but you will NEVER measure up to my dentist.

Me: "Hey, is it ok if I can change my name on my info from [DEADNAME] to Sai?"

Random woman that I wasn't even talking to in the chair next to me: "Honey, if that's the name you had at birth, [DEADNAME] is your only name."

My dentist, very slowly turning her rolley chair towards the woman: "Shush."

Random woman: "Excuse me?"

Destist: *closes privacy curtain while staring bullets at the lady*

Me: *pissing myself laughing*

My dentist while changing my name in my info (reminder that English is not her first language, she immigrated from Russia): "There, Sai, you have pretty boy teeth. Smile and make all girls swoon."

Me not having the heart to tell her I'm not transmasc but I'm Agender, and still pissing myself laughing: "Thank you [DENTIST NAME]."
