Clinton signed into law a whole raft of neoliberal policies that were started by Bush, and the cumulative effects of those policies over those decades are what we’re feeling right now and what we warned about back then. The frogs have been boiled while the populace bickers about which neoliberal corporate shill sits on the puppet throne. They’re after all our money and they’re getting it by distracting us with the political circus and dividing us with wedge issues.

Every single problem we face is caused or exacerbated by the logic of capitalism.

So yes, capitalism is bad. Sorry that pointing it out triggers you, but it’s important to do so that people begin to understand and we can collectively do something about it. Infinite growth on a finite planet isn’t feasible and it’s killing all of us.

Please let it be live action.
