The black waitress featured in the video also died but not from obesity because she was running away from the LA mass shooter and got run over by someone also fleeing

Another former waitress alleged that she was asked to film a customer who passed out for publicity:

1) It's the price of freedom and is actually based because it's killing all the fat people who can't restrain themselves in the name of based capitalism
2) It's a liberal subversion of the natural order and one of the things that would be removed under fascism which is the "true" Western civ and so on

To all the non-american anons, do you ever sit and think: fuck I'm glad I'm not american. Because I know I do.

I wish I was Swedish tbh

I want that comfy welfare state

gib gib gib please

I mean America IS the most classcucked country on the planet, it's where neoliberalism was born and is always ahead in terms of LSC horror.

Probably the only other countries that can even compete are Japan and China

since this thread is mostly about america i guess i'll speak. I work at a call center in the third world, and my job is to call americans, make them think that i work for their electricity company and i'm going to give them money by some obscure government program, and use that to trick them into showing me their electricity and gas recive, and use that to sign them up for another supplier. actually recently they changed my script, and now i trick them into thinking i work for their utility company, and that i'm some good samaritan trying to explain their bill to them, and then in the midst of that i sign them up for another supplier

Dude wtf that's a super scummy job.

Based, fuck those Yankee boomers up.

Can you get your guys to stop calling me though? I hit the pound sign, asked nicely and everything. One time I asked to be taken off the call list and a guy literally came on the line just to say "I don't give a fuck," and then hung up.

So is Pynchon a member of the Blythe Elementary PTA or something

You know when the opening scene of Dredd had "the food court will reopen in 30 minutes", it was supposed to show it was a dystopian shithole.

i don't even know how they get the numbers, there is literally like >12 companies that do the same, in just my city, and they all have a shadowy list of people, with all their data,and they all are late capitalist as fuck, where mostly they keep you in a tiny phone booth, sound proof too so you can never talk to your coworkers, or even know them, without any natual light or clocks so you never know what time it is. without rests for bathrooms, or even drinking water, and with an air conditioning so high you will fucking get sick, and won't have time to go to the doctor because you work 11 hours a day 6 days a week

u wanna fuckin go, eurofag? Ima take you to the sheriff's which is right next to the bank and saloon

I might need this. How do you donate plasma?

Former Octapharma plasma donor here; You walk in and have to use this electronic panel on the wall, it asks you for some basic info, name, address, if you have any health disorders, if you travelled to any AIDS-infected countries since the 70s (or something I forgot the question itself), and needs your social security number. Pass that, a guy takes you into a room for a physical, he just asks you to do some stationary exercises to test reflexes, etc. If you pass, he gives you your own OctaPharma card which is like a debit card and an information packet about the card. Then you're seated until it's your turn. Someone will call you in and stick a needle in your finger to get some blood to test for you blood iron level. If you pass, you go with a guy and lie down on a bed. The stick a needle in your arm to draw some blood for something. Then they hook you to a machine and you're expected to pump your fist for an hour or so, your blood goes into a machine where it scrapes the plasma off it then gets injected back into you. When you're done you get unhooked and they put some bandages on your arm. You go to the front desk and give the clerk your card, he runs it through and puts your money on it. If you want physical cash, you take the card down to a supermarket like Krogers and go to the "money order" section, but you're expect to pay a small fee to get the money out of the card (for me it was .50 cents).

So some advice: drink a gallon of water the day before you plan on donating, make sure you've eaten a lot of food before you go into donate, and bring some snack food for when you're done donating. My first mistake is that I thought plasma donation was like surgery so I didn't eat or drink anything before I donating, this caused me to have a vasovagal syncope during donation, one of the nurses stayed with me through it though, nice guy. Still got paid though. So good luck.

...

Capitalism is a system of private ownership of resources + the means of production and generalized commodity production driven by the process of capital accumulation and reproduction.

This became the dominant system in Europe roughly two centuries ago and then became the dominant global system after the age of colonialism. The only nations to have deviated from this economic organization were the Marxist-Leninist states of the 20th century (and much smaller, briefer revolutions by other left socialist tendencies).

Protip: if you’re given a definition of capital-ism that makes no mention of capital, it’s propaganda and misinformation.

Nazi Germany was a capitalist state.

The second one is kind of overblown in my opinion. The point of it is that he enjoys working there and that's it's a comfy job for him even as an old fuck. Obviously it's more than likely total bullshit PR but yeah.

First of all kek, second of all we're talking about the Warsaw ghetto specifically, not Nazi Germany as a whole.

Corporatism is merely a form of capitalism, or one way capitalism can organize itself as a living system.

The Warsaw Ghetto was a famine that occurred a capitalist state, within a capitalist economic system.

And, regardless, state capitalism is still capitalism.

I don’t see what you’re getting at. Are you implying the Warsaw Ghetto was socialist or feudal?

I'm well aware that the Nazi government privatized a number of industries, that doesn't contradict what I said.

I'm going off what you said here, nigga

Whatever category of economy the Warsaw ghetto was, any semblance of capital in it was controlled by the government. Maybe that clicks with your mobile goalposts idea of capitalism, but not mine.

Capital controlled by the state is still capital. That the state might be involved to a greater or lesser degree means nothing, capitalism couldn’t even exist without the state. Capitalist economic structure dominated in Nazi Germany and therefore the Warsaw Ghetto.

SOEs are run as private enterprises with the state as the owner.

I guess some explanation is needed. It’s property separated out from the collective commons. Things the state controls are not always held as public property, as a part of any kind of collective commons, but as essentially private. Indeed, the state itself may be private property, as was the case under feudalism. Only under republics is even the state considered to be the collective property of the citizenry.

I can see you've been practicing your mental gymnastics but you didn't quite stick the landing there.

Dictionaries are descriptive rather than prescriptive. They don’t tell you the “correct” meaning of words, but what they feel most people mean when they say them.

For that you need an encyclopedia or similar which goes deeper into a subject.

Private property is putting up land enclosures on the common lands, it doesn’t matter if the holder is an individual or the state.

Though, even if you were to hold fast to your dictionary, that wouldn’t change the fact that I’ve already explained our conceptualization of private property and what we mean by it.

corporatism is still capitalism

Scary the level of a shitstorm you can create by not praising the magick flag.

what if my nikes are a fake

that tape looks like it's been up there for at least ten seconds

Are you in another dimension where companies are magickal entities that exist unto themselves? Private companies don't extract their money out of thin air. At any moment everywhere in modern capitalism of past 100 years bank, state, credit and law structures are involved and intermingled.

What's your point? Is that supposed to contradict something I said?

There is indeed not much difference. The companies are still owned privately, produce commodities, follow the structural logic of capitalist enterprises and extract surplus value for the benefit of few.

Only by people who support the state.
Duh
On the contrary, in classical capitalism the ramifications of disagreeing with the government on how to best run your business don't involve having the gestapo show up at your door.

This is both hilarious and horrifying to read.

Except this never happened because the industrialists in Nazi Germany were happy with the super profits they were getting so they didn't even need to be compelled by the government to produce shit.

"Classical" capitalism was inevitably replaced by "state" capitalism in the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century as its own dialectical development.

More like they didn't feel inclined to disagree with Hitler after he made an example of Junkers.


So which one of those was the Warsaw ghetto? That's what this debate is about, remember.

Do you think the Warszaw ghetto was an independent state or something?

What is that image even trying to communicate? It doesn't at all describe the relationship between owner and employee, or even the basic definition of capitalism.


Are you attempting to imply the Warsaw ghetto was somehow the work of leftism?

I think he's trying to imply that since the Warszaw ghetto didn't have free business, there is more than just socialism and capitalism but there is also spooky statism where the gubbermans oppress hard-working entrepreneurs.
