It's like /r/latestagecapitalism, but we don't pretend that this is a new or unique stage of capitalism, and just post all the way is that capitalism is shitty.

17 flavors of nacho chips? No fresh food in your city? Have to work late Saturday because your boss told you to? Corona spreading in your workplace? Your commute an hour by private car? Transformers 6? Joe Biden? Exploitation of the global south? Dying of lack of health care? Reddit awards?

All equally good subjects of a post.

      The complete dissolution of all the post-WW2 gains for first-world workers.

      Too many people still own their homes, are in unions, have some degree of worker protections (and believe in the government enforcing them) and minimum wages, etc. to be late stage capitalism. After this coming recession we're in we're going to see a total uber-fying of the economy (prop 22) in order to return to profitability. We haven't reached that yet, though we're in the precipice. And too many older people are able to just ignore the intensification of exploitation happening the people poorer and/or younger than them. Once this happens the divide between the first and third world will mainly be the borders themselves and how many consumer products one can buy rather than general living standards.

      late stage is when the billionaires weld the bunker doors shut and leave the proletariat out in climate hell to starve by the billions.
