A bailout by the government is not capitalism. That is socialism. The USA hasn’t been capitalist since 2008, and arguably much, much earlier than that.

We’re just told “this is capitalism” so we can blame the fallout of socialistic tendencies on it.

The blue hairs blame capitalism on what is actually the product of socialist actions.

Yup.. what we have now is essentially an amalgamation of mini socialist states (mega-corps) under one monolithic federal state. In classic fashion, the gov't has failed it's *one* job in a quasi-capitalist society, which is ensuring competition exists and killing monopolies/duopolies. Remember when Ma Bell was broken up?

I wasn’t alive yet 😅 but yes

Capitalists can't stand anti-trust law because it breaks their understanding of their religion. 🤭

It's pretty clearly a religion, my friend.

Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other experiment tried so far. Religion requires belief without proof and that is quantifiably probable. I think you mistake capitalism for socialism as the religion because there isn’t any example long-term of a socialist regime that hasn’t obliterated the middle and lower class in history.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and capitalism has also made incredible strides in oppressing third world countries and allowing economic bullies to strip mine entire nations for pennies compared to the revenue generated.

At the end of the day, capitalism doesn't exist. Communism doesn't exist. A tiered society with generational wealth exists, it sits a top a world that it exploits and will exploit for all eternity.

everything is a religion.

religion has noting to do with G-d and everything to do with stupidity and fear and denial and the need to believe that everything will be fine if you just trust the plan.

Lmao, holy shit. "Trust the plan." 😂

I can see why people turn to spirituality. It's unsettling to realize this thing is off the fucking rails and no one is at the controls.

The greatest irony is you say "capitalism hasn't been tried" just like the commies. 😂

We live in crony-capitalism

I don’t see where I said capitalism hasn’t been tried? I said what we have now is not capitalism.
