Just want to point out that wealth inequality is now a lot higher than it was in pre-revolution France.

Crackersmack - 2024-03-01 pre-revolution French aristocracy didn't have the foresight to brainwash the rabble into fighting amongst each other over made-up issues like ours has

Mr. Purple Cat Esq. - 2024-03-01 @Crackersmack I do agree that autocracies and pretty much all systems of control have become a lot more advanced since the 1800's. Eg. We had Stalinism.
Imo the father of the modern era of controlling the masses is Edward Bernays. He started turning PR into a rigorous science based on statistical analysis. Pretty much all corporations and governments use very sophisticated systems built upon his original ideas.

But the American aristocracy was smart enough to convince half the poor to kill the ither half if they attempt to improve the lives of all the poor.

SolRo - 2024-03-02 At this point I’d welcome global Chinese totalitarianism over this capitalist bullshit.
Would be easier maintaining one social score than multiple credit scores and multiple jobs

lolfuckingl
ah yes, the chinese system, famous for exploiting absolutely nobody at all
|
teethsalad - 2024-03-02 their income inequality as measured by the gini index is fairly similar anyway
United States (0.481) and China (0.465)
so maybe just maybe immediately & reflexively deep throating the boot of other shitty systems isn't exactly a answer
|
SolRo - 2024-03-02 Christ some of you knee jerk idiots really do take every facetious comment literally
|
ashtar. - 2024-03-03 China's gini spiked and has been going down for a while. The US has been going up steadily since 1980.

These days, when I eat cereal, it's as a healthy alternative to a family-sized package of Oreos, or a bag of fun-sized Milky Ways.

“It sounds like a lot of people aren't tightening their belt and working harder,” Pilnick said amid a discussion about high grocery prices. “So it might just be cheaper to shove more high fructose corn syrup and sugar in their American mouths at dinnertime.”
The CNBC host Carl Quintanilla asked Pilnick – whose company’s brands include Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Corn Pops and Rice Krispies – whether his remarks could “land the wrong way” with consumers who have been forced to spend about 26% more on groceries in general since 2020.
Pilnick doubled down, saying: “Look, somehow you grew into adults while eating this crap for breakfast every morning. Maybe you should be grateful we provided you with something resembling nutrition. ”

There's a lot of guillotine talk, but I'm still on team gibbet.

Cereal is like $7 a box now.
Chicken is actually cheaper.
|
SolRo - 2024-03-02 I’m sure the intent is to feed your whole family with nothing but one box of cereal for dinner. And water is cheap!
Oh did you want milk with your cereal?? Well aren’t you just the typical entitled millennial! Want some avocado toast too???
