This would hold up better if I could get a non-shitty car made in the USA. Alas…
Truly, it would be difficult for the Chinese to do a worse job of making cars than the planned obsolescence crap we’ve come up with.

IMO it’s almost worse than if G+ flopped completely. Google+ was actually awesome for the specific world of smalltime pen and paper RPGs. But of course, that one creative community of people designing & publishing cool stuff wasn’t enough to justify its cost, or challenge Facebook for supremacy, so they pulled the plug even though plenty of people were still using it. Just a waste.
Right? Imagine if all of the money spent “building out” the metaverse had been invested in improving infrastructure in real life…
The current system has folks raising cap-ex by selling bits of control in their company, but this is a thread about how that system has failed to both expand capacity and increase the utility of reddit. So. IDK, they could raise money with bonds or grants or something. It doesn’t really matter too much because the current system simply doesn’t work in practice either.
You don’t feel the system that enslaved human beings based on their race “exalts nation and race over the individual?”
I’d say the US wasn’t fascist in that period because fascism is a post-industrial ideology that’s interrelated with corporate mass media. But, when it did come around, fascism was explicitly modeled on the “slavery + colonial genocide” era of the USA’s development. Fascism in the 20th century was the logic of colonialism coming home from the periphery to the imperial core.
