    It is all a con. There is no endgame. They aren’t thinking that far ahead. And when the reality hits them it will land on them like a cartoon piano. They’ll never see it coming.

      I mean some people have more money than ever to buy stuff. That’s the market that most of these things are being targeted to. Just consider everyone that isn’t extremely wealthy an obsolete product being phased out of production.

      Keep restricting birth control and encouraging higher birthrates as early death numbers continue to climb in the U.S. due to a lack of safety regulations and overdoses.

      Restrict what can be purchased using government aid to healthy options. Not bc you care about helping poor people to be healthy, but bc you know you might end up needing them for spare parts.

      ‘Horrifying’ mistake to take organs from a living person was averted, witnesses say

      Natasha Miller says she was getting ready to do her job preserving donated organs for transplantation when the nurses wheeled the donor into the operating room.

      She quickly realized something wasn’t right. Though the donor had been declared dead, he seemed to her very much alive.

      “He was moving around — kind of thrashing. Like, moving, thrashing around on the bed,” Miller told NPR in an interview. "And then when we went over there, you could see he had tears coming down. He was crying visibly."

      The donor’s condition alarmed everyone in the operating room at Baptist Health hospital in Richmond, Ky., including the two doctors, who refused to participate in the organ retrieval, she says.

      "So the coordinator calls the supervisor at the time. And she was saying that he was telling her that she needed to ‘find another doctor to do it’ – that, 'We were going to do this case. She needs to find someone else,’ " Miller says. “And she’s like, ‘There is no one else.’ She’s crying — the coordinator — because she’s getting yelled at.”

        It also helps that they don’t understand the reality of organ reception or being an irl cyborg. Anti rejection meds make you immunocompromised. Cochlear implants sound off and require extra mental effort to process compared to biological hearing (and have less true sound). Robotic arms are heavy and inconvenient to the point many prefer simple prosthetics.

        Maybe someday we will have versions of some of these things that are genuinely equivalent to being abled. But I don’t know if I will live to see them.

          There has been concern that China has been running medical exams on Uyghur prisoners in camps to find close matches for recipients and decrease chances of complications

          https://thediplomat.com/2025/07/xinjiangs-organ-transplant-expansion-sparks-alarm-over-uyghur-forced-organ-harvesting/

          Rogers noted one chilling possibility: that “murdered prisoners of conscience (i.e., Uyghurs held in detention camps)” could be a source of transplanted organs.

          This suggestion becomes even more concerning when considering the extensive surveillance and repression that Uyghurs face in the region. Detainees in the many internment camps in Xinjiang have reported being subjected to forced blood tests, ultrasounds, and organ-focused medical scans. These procedures align with organ compatibility testing, raising fears that Uyghurs are being prepped for organ harvesting while in detention.

    Yeah the thing that pisses me off the most is the wealthy elite only got wealthy because of the disposable income of a healthy middle class. Without that the whole system collapses. So striving for more and more wealth is only going to hurt everyone in the long run. The worst part is they will be the last to be hurt.

      Not the only. The rich still can lead us to fascism. The only problem is that fascism has its own internal contradictions and history won’t stop there.

      you’d think so, but what is being actually done to achieve this? As far as i have seen, people dont seem to have interest even in their own well being if it requires any attention span and they lap up any and all propaganda to the extent you are considered kind of crazy if you think corporations might not have your interests at their heart.

      If the revolution is coming, it wont have any supporters because vast majority will just side with the corporations or plain not care. Not saying this to deter anyone from doing something but to point that winning back peoples minds is the first step that needs to be taken if anything is to be done at all.

    Be the Joker and burn it all. The money was the source of all evil. Don’t sweat it, though. It’s not a real problem because neither were ever any kind of real beyond anyones imagination. They were the imaginarium to the description of the ability to see exactly those facts.

    If you can see that, learn how to spend all this extra time now showing what your love is for anyone you can do that for and to, certainly!

    The idea is just to get there first. If you make it one quarter before your competition then you get a a really good quarter.

    Long terms plans don’t matter to CEOs. Long term stability is not rewarded by capitalism.

      Also if they believe the outcome is inevitable in the near future it’s a certain kind of sensible to race to be first. It’s a variant on the prisoners dilemma where they can see each other racing to rat the others out in the hope that the first will get a discount on sentence length.

    Getting rid of money and having a heavily stratified society with the current wealthy at the top. Like a cheesy SciFi premise but realized here to live in.

    It’s UBI, and no, UBI is not a real socialist plan. It keeps the rest of us poor with little possibility of social mobility.

      They’ll give us a means tested barely functional bunch of shit they call UBI once the food riots start. It will help almost nobody and run at 60+% admin overhead.

      They will tell us this is efficient.

          I truly believe they’d rather let the whole country collapse than give us universal healthcare or UBI.

          If it ever happens it will happen as a fear response to massive widespread violence.

          All these corps and billionaires. They can change their money to a different currency with a phone call. They can move money on that same call. They can just run away to a stable country when it all goes to hell here.

      UBI is not a real socialist plan

      UBI is not a socialist plan at all. UBI is what happens when you:

      • accept the capitalist worldview that interfering with the market and the price system leads to distortions that ruin everything

      but

      • think that people deserve to exist even when they are not useful to you

      Hahahahhaha they will give you an unlock code for an euthanasia capsule if you’re lucky they don’t imprison you for homelessness where you can have a job doing the last things that can’t be automated. Look what they’re doing to the “undesired” in usa; everyone on earth knows about gaza and the outcry is minimal, once you’re poor, and you will be poor, nobody will cry when you dissappear.
