    Gotta love the logic of capital necessitating ever higher profits into forcing the workers to work longer and longer hours and years for competitiveness' sake, encouraging natalism to always have an ample pool of reserve soldiers of labor and viewing a situation where there's less companies at a certain point, less products than the year before perhaps as the greatest disaster possible.

    Losing that competitiveness being the worst thing imaginable, of course, because products from countries that do these things eventually drive local producers out of business or whatever.

    For capitalists, cooperation is a baffling idea and constant and ever faster growth is necessary to satisfy arrogant fools who think they're superheroes like Elon Musk. Of course being aided by the imperial labor aristocracy who's been propagandized all life that their quality of life is due to getting more and more shit each year. And the best thing is how they intend to do this forever.

    Resource peak? Population peak? It's time for colonialism! Either the yet unviable space parasite method or the turning of imperialism inwards and outwards.

    Depleted soil, no more ores, addictions everywhere, mental health crises, 2,5°C global heating? Who cares, the CEO of Corporation B is driving MY our profits down, we gotta do something!

    The post-1990 stage of capitalism is enduring humiliation after humiliation
