The United States is a corporation. - eviltoast

It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.

In case you’re confused - if you’re not rich and powerful, you’re not a shareholder. You’re an employee or a commodity or an expense, and you exist to enrich the shareholder class.

    If we had an unlimited timeline I’d buy that, the problem is climate change will make all but struggle inevitable in ~75 years at the rate we’re destroying it.

    Famine, water wars, and billions of climate migrants will destroy any hope of an egalitarian revolution…

      75 years is a very optimistic timeline. The things you mentioned are already starting to happen.

        I know, I was going to use ~10 years, but used a conservative number so I could source it undeniably if pressed.
