    It's so hilariously systemically broken (and I'm not even talking about the intentional ways to protect capital) that finding anyone who defends it at a structural design-level blows my mind.

    I've found I get more of a rise out of liberals from talking about how poorly-designed their worshiped system is than highlighting the actual material harm that it creates and this is before I even start bringing real critique to capital about it.

      This reminds me of the lib who posted a link to the Wikipedia article on the separation of powers in the US government in an attempt to own the hexbears.

      Seriously, like I don’t have trouble putting myself in the shoes of the capitalist and going “what would I do here to protect my position and grow my wealth” and I would still fix a bunch of this shit because it’s either counterproductive or unsustainable

      Like, I feel like a basic feature for just “having shit keep running” in this situation would be whoever the replacement is automatically gets all committee assignments and other things their predecessor had. Basically the senate should have to pretend that whoever the new person is is still Diane Feinstein
