He wants and NEEDS more, otherwise other porkies will crush him.
What's his endgame?
The economy is BOOMING though. Did you watch the SOTU, where Trump talked about all of his great achievements, such as keeping good relations with DPRK, reducing unemployment and having more women in Congress?
and uh astronauts? can't forget the astronauts
Stop anthropromorphising capitalism. There is conscious goal. Capitalism is an emergent behavior.
It's all maintenance now, do you have any idea how much time, effort and resources go into monitoring and putting down resistance before it can really begin?
The endgame of capitalism is to detach entirely from the human subject and build a digital/hardware network suitable for noumenal forces to inhabit.
just kidding - the endgame of post-industrial capitalism is just an uninhabitable world for complex lifeforms. This isn't intentional, it's just a byproduct of economic growth within this system, and growth is the only way capital can sustain itself, the only logic it can reasonably follow.
My sides are gone.
The "commodification of identity".
I typically stick to regular Zig Forums, but you lefties might want to check out pic related. Think of it as a socially engineered paradigm shift consisting of the worst elements of capitalism taken to their absurd extremes. Enjoy.
Nope, not quite. Read the post above. The solution to the productivity/wage/consumption conflict is the introduction of a monetary system dependent upon credit attributed to those who exhibit the greatest degree of social conformity. Essentially a fiat currency that inflates/deflates for the individual based on how many "good boy points" they accrue. The prediction is that automation will render substantial portions of the population jobless while drastically lower the cost of labor and production. To keep the cycle of production/consumption stable, new commodities which are not readily fabricated will have to be introduced to the market – the concept of purchasable identity being one of them.
Expect porky to provide a facsimile of a socialist "utopia" for you, all the while tightening his grip the global market via thoroughly "directed and monitored spending".
