Think about it. Capitalism is awesome if you’re the one who started it. 30-50 years later, its fuck everyone else.

All the great tech innovations happened early on and peaked many years ago. Anything innovative now doesn’t pay, so its onto the grift and theft of data, wages, etc.

    Do I understand correctly that you think capitalism started 30-50 years ago? Where? By whom?

      I think i was more trying to say that it goes in waves. But it’s always the first people who benefit (ie, type of governance is declared, you buy a few acres of land for 300 dollars, 40 years later that land is worth millions because you were there when the act of buying and selling it started. You’re born 30 years later, fuck you, 1 acre of land is now $400,000.

      Of course if you started a business when it was still possible to do so (maybe building a specialty tool with 3 employees) and could buy houses and land off your little business, youd think capitalism is great. That’s not possible in later stages (regulations, and China can do everything cheaper, large corporations will stop you instantly if you challenge them)
