My first thought was spies… because they are already on someone else’s payroll.
Also, bootlickers and extremely desperate people that would take on any job.

Next you’ll be telling me that “So, how often do you flick the bean?” is not a great pickup line.

I gotta disagree with you here. At least on the sub(s) that I still - on the occasion of big events - take a glance at. To me, Reddit comments are the epitome of staleness and predictability. Also, their user base seems like a bunch of 40-year-old dads that mentally peaked at 16, but keep getting more racist by the year.

I’m certain my productivity at work dropped significantly because of this fucking upgrade. It’s slow as molasses, at times unstable and 50% of the time I send the laptop to “hibernate,” both it and me wake up to yet another update cycle, meaning it did a completely unwanted hard restart and my unsaved work has been lost without a warning. Crazy my company is paying for that shit.

Nowadays, a relevant part of the post-war and grandchildren’s generation is forcefully advocating the continued existence of precisely this capitalism. They believe that its “value-based liberalism” gives them the moral legitimacy to sweep away competing capitalisms because their competitors are not “liberal” but “authoritarian.” As if they were not subject to the same laws of the marketplace. The bottom line is that the “liberality” of the West lies only in the granting of no-cost freedoms, which are valid as long as one premise always remains untouched: submission to the principle of the exploitation of man and nature.

It might not be a particularly new insight, but I find it worth repeating anyway: Musk truly is the new Ford. Runs his own company in the ground and has a hard-on for fascists.

And let’s not forget that lies are a lot cheaper to create and spread than the truth. They even propagate themselves, or rather, people will do it for you, in their free time, expecting nothing in return. They’ll spin and develop them further and further, just like that. It must totally make sense for any top capitalist to harness this free energy.

Wanna feel even more depressed? Nearly ¼ of the 21^st century is already over.

Some drink to remember, some drink to forget.
Especially after the Euro 2024.
