I'm not sure if this is supposed to be posted here but I'm not sure this would be welcome in c/wallstreetbets (lmao) either. It's just sad and dispiriting. Not really gonna say more about this because it's been pretty draining tbh.

Also, before someone says "well I don't think it's WRONG to talk about this, and I don't think it's praxis, and y'know I had to pay rent and spent some money on this and I just like laughing at Melvin eating shit and...." cool, I'm not talking about you, you know which people I am talking about.

    While this is certainly true there are plenty of stories on there of people giving life saving surgery to their dog and stuff. I'm sure some are posing but not all, I agree this isn't the revolution though. The thing that has revolutionary potential is the fact that the great powers of the world changed the rules of the game to screw these people over, proving capitalism to be rigged. The making money part isn't as important.

      I mean I'm sure someone has given life saving surgery to their dog after winning at the casino.

      I think people focus a bit too much on the "proving" part. Like, yeah, many if not most people know it after a while, they just learn to accept it. Libertarianism is an entire ideology centered around "it's rigged, we need moar capitalism to unrig it".
