hey if we are closing, let's do it with style XD

@luciumferum our avenues are fading away because companies want us to make them money but tell us HOW and WHAT we can make our money for.

@KobraArcane @luciumferum That's the definition of capitalism and why it's bad

@Jazzy_Butts @luciumferum capitalism is why we are even allowed to make any kind of money doing what we're doing it isn't inheritedly bad just exploited by bad people.

@KobraArcane @luciumferum Capital means profit, profit by definition requires exploitation. Economics can be fair, capitalism is when it's not fair, the exchanges are not equal, someone is getting ripped off, that's what makes it capitalism.

@KobraArcane @luciumferum Without capitalism every artist would be paid fairly what buyers were willing to pay, with no mercantile middle man class to buy a good for as cheap as possible and then sell it elsewhere for as much as possible, the mercantile class must by necessity exploit both the worker and consumer. Merchants act like they're serving a valuable service at a fair price, but that's a trick, for them to make a profit, which is their goal, they must exploit, profit requires non-equivilance, 1 hour of labor is not being tradded for 1 hour of labor, one lb of potatoes is not being tradded for one pair of shoes, a scammer is traveling between poor communities, one that has all potatoes and one that has all shoes, and he scalps a pair of shoes for more potatoes than they're worth, because the people are desperate, and so are submitting to exploitation, rather than die from their feet falling off, and then he takes the potatoes to the community that's starving and scalps them above value for more shoes than they're worth, rinse and repeat, add generational transfer of wealth, and you have a new system of slavery called capitalism where the slaves submit themselves because they've been tricked into thinking they're not slaves.

@KobraArcane That's not very uhhh, smart? Lol, imagine a heart surgeon has a volume on heart surgery he has yet to read and he tells you that shit before you under.

@Jazzy_Butts what isn't smart is implying you can educate people by throwing links at them after speaking nonsense.....unchecked capitalism is a part of the same systems we use every single day to make the money we want.

@KobraArcane Capitalism has many checks on it, I cannot just make my own currency for example, that would not be accepted by any government for any fines, fees, or taxes.

@Jazzy_Butts why would you need to put something that doesn't have value for anyone but yourself in it. I've seen people say this and you realize the headache we'd deal with if Dave had his own currency and Sarah did too?.

@KobraArcane Yea, now you're getting it, we need one world currency, Dave (China) and Sarah (America) having different currencies is a headache. We all share the earth, there are private things we don't have to share, and that's ok, those things are our own special things, but there are other things we all have to share, like the air, and the water. This is starship earth, and we are one race, communism makes sense, capitalism makes no sense unless you're for the exploitation of the crew on starship earth and the needs of the few exceeding the needs of the many, which is gross 🤢

@Jazzy_Butts i got it but you took what i mean and gave it a meaning you wanted it to mean. This conversation is becoming less interesting if I am just talking with someone who wants to feel validated rather than having an actual discussion.

@KobraArcane Explain to me why it's ok for me to hire someone and then pay them as little as possible because I can legally get away with it? Think about it this way, if you had all your needs met fairly, you would be as rich as the next rich guy, we'd all be rich guys, none of us would be mega rich, and none of us would be poor, but isn't that good? It's demonic to take advantage of other people, it's what employers do to employees in a capitalist system, a for profit system, either the worker is getting screwed, or the consumer is, someone gets fucked in capitalism, by definition. That leads to shit like people not having the ability to, uhh, draw porn because they have to stress about getting paid because they need to get paid to eat, where in a fair system, a system not based on profit but on equal exchange, that stress would be minimized, because unless you're already RICH your life would be easier, and if you already are RICH you have so much that you could lose more than half of it and still not be able to spend all your money. A billionaire would have to spend $27,397 a day, to spend their entire Fortune assuming they live to be 100. Fuck that shit and fuck that shit's supporters.

@KobraArcane @Jazzy_Butts exactly, plus people have a way better standard of living than before, and yeah, i can see jazz falls into the uni-soyjack category, probably he never worked in his entire life, so he's just so mentally and physically weak that working in a first world country feels hard to him....imagine if he was born in argentina like me

@luciumferum @KobraArcane Actually I'm from the working class I'm not from the ruling class and I don't have money to afford uni I don't live in faggoteuroland where I get to suckle off the tit of socialism while shitting on it and harolding the thunderdome gunland deathscape that is the usa because muh capitalism and muh brexit meanwhile I hope yall really do get a taste of the american dream you think is so great so maybe you'll go back to writing good theories like Marx and Hegel did. No offense but you went there first uni jobless innit bruv.

@Jazzy_Butts @KobraArcane si, me chupa unhuevo y la mitad del otro, pelotudo. plus why are only the american strugling to succeed while all or most of the immigrants triumph?, it's a scooby dooby mistery

@luciumferum @Jazzy_Butts People wanna pretend they aren't under that same evil system that is trashing on everyone else but the truth is like i said awful people exploit everything. Under capitalism (and yeah times are changing) I can work a job irl and come home to draw pictures and peolpe give me money.

People wanna pretend all these systems aren't connected in some way so he had to split economics and capitalism and call one of them evil yet they coexist.

@KobraArcane @luciumferum He did not split economics and capitalism, wtf, he understands money is used for things and economics are facts, he wasn't retarded, he argued that profit defies logic because it means that someone got screwed. He was for equivalent exchange, that's all marxism was, he wasn't even talking about communism, people came up with that later. If I take advantage of you as a worker I don't care how legal it is, it is ethically wrong. Nonprofits are the only ethical business model.

@Jazzy_Butts @luciumferum why are you speaking in third person.....why are you mentioning marxism why are you mentioning communism. All we're talking about is peolpe making it harder to draw the porn we wanna draw and get paid for it when websites willingly let us do this lol.

@KobraArcane @luciumferum Because the reason religious terrorists are able to hold payment processors hostage is because of crapitalism, ultimately, because it has created a slave dystopia where the workers do not own their own labor, they rent it out, employers do not rent out their labor, they buy labor at a minimum and then sell the results of that labor at a maximum, generating profits, another word for profits is capital, this is capitalism, it is manipulation and it is theft, like taking candy from a baby, and that voicelessness of the worker leads to things like religious minority puritain terrorists taking over the government and banning porn despite being on the fucking Epstein files. /end

@Jazzy_Butts @luciumferum Same capitalism is letting me pay some of my bills by drawing and rendering smut. The agenda they are using is because of their personal gain which is to silence people that disagree with them which isn't an inherit issue with capitalism. Using the guise of "protecting children" to disrupt parties and tell them they're withholding their earnings which starts at not liking the production of things they deem as "immoral"
