Supply and demand my fucking asscheeks

The more I learn about it, the more I feel a second class consciousness brewing in me lmao or maybe this is my class consciousness and I was just made cognizant of the fact that I was being exploited beforehand and confused the two? Beats me

But yeah it’s like the more I learn about it, the more my brain refuses to accept it because it’s comically senseless. It’s really strange because some of the logic at the start makes proper sense, but it is absolutely wild to me how things quickly go from reasonable expectations based on the past to nothing but what matters to the feelings of the most ravenous, parasitic leeches among us. Just really fucking wild how this is the status quo. And don’t even get me started on the convoluted tax system (which duh is super easy to evade if you can afford someone well-versed in tax law)

Guess I’ll just buy shares in index funds or whatever shit. What a fucking bizzaro world that this could very well be my only hope for retirement when I’m 72

    even though this is badposting, this is some real shit

    To add to the confusion and mystification, capitalist ideology promotes the idea that our commercial culture is fundamentally a rational and secular endeavour. But the opposite is the case. The rationality of capitalism is not human but alien, and we do not control it, but it controls us. Capitalist ideology refuses to see the “real God” that is capital, and our subordination to it. The god is real, but hidden, hiding in plain sight. And in this sense, capitalism is an occult, not a secular, mode of production.

      The more I think about it, it’s a type of magical thinking only few can afford to have but millions are forced to have if they want any chance of financial stability in the future

      It’s truly vibes all the way down 😎
