In 500 years there will be fewer radicals than today as a percentage of the population. Fewer humanitarians. Fewer communists. More greedy scum. More sadistic monsters.

Until one day we are all no more than the beasts Capitalism already treats us as.

    CW: Ableism, but as someone with autism and sociopathic traits, this made me spit out my drink

    Life and Times of Tim has a great bit on this. Starts at 10:28. In the episode, Tim almost gets fired for a Halloween costume not being appropriate, but saves his job by going to a child psychologist and getting a fake autism diagnosis (Tim probably actually is autistic, but the appointment was bunk). The higher ups at Omnicorp respond by percieving Tim to be able to get away with saying anything, so they have him start saying every awful thing they think, including telling their spouses that they're fat, or telling their kids Soccer team that Sheila and Meegan suck The episode ends with the higher ups discovering Tim faked his autism diagnosis and just lied about everything. Tim is worried he's going to be fired for this, but Boss responds by saying "No, you're a lying sociopath that does not care about the feelings of others at all, that's even better."
