I know what you’re saying, I’m just raising the class question. There are “good” reasons for the rich to use capitalism, after all.

Poverty is a necessary component of capitalism. It’s not arbitrary, it’s calculated.

The irony of assuming everyone who disagrees with you is a troll and then accusing them of seeing in “black and white” is amusing.

When liberals tell you who they are, believe them.

Kids these days don’t even recognize the interstate pitstop hellzone meme smdh

The rich are the ones that made race into a problem. Racism isn’t organic, it was constructed by colonialism.

Rent seekers are parasites and the world would be better off without them.

They are unproductive exploiters and can and should be completely replaced.

That’s not a different discussion, though.

If tools were collectively owned, for instance, they could be kept in a community tool locker/garage that the whole community would own and be able to borrow whenever needed. “Rent” would be replaced by a small fee paid into the community to maintain the tools, not some profit seeking parasitism from a renter looking to exploit people’s need for tools.

Renting isn’t the problem. Renters are.

That’s not a reason for anyone to make money from rents.

This has nothing to do with being a “good” person.

That said.

They could create a housing cooperative where all the tenants are owner-members and share the property collectively. If they live in the building too they can also be an equal owner-member. If they live somewhere else, they have to give up ownership.

By being landlords or personally knowing landlords.

The recent Medicaid cut to make a few hundred billionaire friends happier/richer was terrible propaganda. Doesn’t that contradict your point?

Imagine living in a world without being voluntold to do overtime every week.

First you say “you’re not mad a GenAI as a technology, you’re mad at Capitalism” and then when I agree with you you move the goal posts to argue against it? Are you just arguing for its own sake?

It’s like I never left Reddit!

Talking to you was a mistake. You’re just trying to “win” the conversation, you don’t actually care about anything I have to say.

I’m done. You can have the last word.

And you can’t separate the technology from it’s historical and material context. We could say “capitalist LLMs” instead of just “LLMs” every time we talk about the technology, but is that useful?

The problem is capitalism, but the technology was produced under capitalism and you’re using this technology under capitalism. So, a distinction without a difference.

Yeah, and all it requires is for poorly paid workers in Kenya to be tortured and forced to watch CSAM all day.

I’m saying WoD failed to stop drugs.

I’m saying evil pieces of shit like Nixon did not care about drugs. They don’t care about addiction, or overdoses, or any of that shit.

Do you think he was just a good boy trying his best to help people?

Why do you think he was the one the launch the war on drugs? Why him?

The wealthy don’t have money, because there are better investments

Their investments are still denominated in the currency, and by controlling the currency they trade in you can control their assets.

It’s always the richest people in society that push for austerity and cuts to government services and lower taxes. You think this is a coincidence? They very much do care about their money, even if they have properties and stocks and other instruments.
