Arguments in favor of capitalism and competition, in a general sense, posit that the economic "battle" will, through a sort of Darwinism, gradually create value in the system.

For example, a competitor, wanting to take some of the capital flowing in the system, will create a more efficient way to produce a good with less overhead, resulting in a lower price and have created a better process. Maybe he has a new machine... Value was added because engineers were paid to design it, a manufacturer made it, etc. The money moves to benefit everyone.

Free market capitalism doesn't work when an economy gets upended to the extent where no value can be found to be added to the system.

For example, during the ammo shortages, assholes had friends at Walmart call them when the truck showed up. They'd sweep all the ammo into their cart and immediately resell it for triple the price.

There is no value added to the system. The ammo availability is unchanged. Buying from Walmart for retail price distributes the same quantity of ammo, of the same quality, except it costs three times more... And that expense doesn't go into the supply chain, it goes in to the pocket of a completely worthless "middleman".

In theory you could do this with anything. Open up a grocery store in a small town and buy every single food item off the truck of the local grocer leaving their shelves empty and then sticking your own for double. It's unfeasible on that scale, but technically doable. There is no value. The supply chain doesn't benefit. The grocery reseller is introducing nothing to the economy.

And in this case, you will actively harm people because they can't get food.

Selling the gas you already had delivered a week ago for exorbitant prices introduces no value and actively causes harm.

To be fair they actually haven't, not in a movie. If they did an as-originally-written Harley Quinn the femoids would lose their minds. She's sexually attracted to the Joker because she gets off on him being wicked, and the Joker literally does not reciprocate or care. He abuses and manipulates and uses her for his own machinations and she thinks they're in this intense romance and he cares about her, but he basically doesn't give a fuck if she lives or dies. He'd strangle her to death himself if she weren't a lead character.

She's the opposite of a girlboss. She's a worthless dopey tool and a subservient simp too stupid to realize how fucked her situation is.

He reminds me of the MSgt I had who screamed at all of us for an hour over a DUI that one person got less than 12 hours prior and only two people knew about. Also he never once mentioned the DUI while screaming.

When he was done he asked "does anyone have anything to say?!" and I don't give a fuck so I raised my hand. Dude stared death lasers at me. "Uh, can I ask what happened?"

He almost had a heart attack, asked who knew why we were there, only one person raised their hand, and he just screamed at us all to get out.

What I don't get is he hasn't clarified, and he actually could do so as a way to spin it in his favor. "I mean that I've had conversations with them in jail and tried to really understand what happened to them mentally, and we've made relationships focused on compassion and care." Or some shit like that.

The entire thing became a problem because normal raced people with normal sexuality and normal mental health decided to be compassionate and institute protections of lesser creatures. They consolidated and weaponized those protections to seize control and because of those awful protections, you can't eliminate them without being sued or jailed.

If we ever make it through this, all protections that protect anyone except the normal must never be allowed to take root again. They have proven what we should already have learned from history: they are not our equals in anything.

Woke used to mean like, anti slavery, aware of crimes against humanity, knowing that the elite run this world.

That literally hasn't changed, because the application of woke is firmly rooted in that kind of faggy nonsense to justify it. Genocide all the Whites because muh slavery. Rewrite history because muh colonization.

The entire concept is about the elimination of normal-raced, normal-sexed, normal-thinking people that is rationalized under "muh oppression".

Or when shitlords use it to pick out Feds at rallys.

... and then literally do nothing about it just like every other hysterical woman-like crying from the right about 'muh feds'.

If you do like steak and burgers, how much should you eat? One hamburger a week or one 12-ounce steak a month is a good limit for red meat, Willett says

I'll agree the meat fad amongst the right is probably 60% LARPing but one little steak a month is insane.

That'd swell and get hot and burn but not explode.

Also, modern lithium batteries have devices built into them to stop that. That's the problem - you could use software to try to tell a device to overcharge the battery, but the stuff that's built into the battery is pretty much inaccessible to the device and it'd go "hmm this isn't right" and turn off. Ever leave your phone sitting in the car and came back in and it was turned off because it was too hot? That's the battery reporting that to the phone, not the phone itself.

"It's so great to see yourself represented."

I have >never< made a character in a video game that looks anything like me. Because the video game isn't about me. It's about my character. I ain't gonna be alive in 2077 so why would a character look like me in Cyberpunk 2077?

The feminine drive towards pure narcissism in every capacity is what has forced all of this shit, because feminine people want things to be about them.

James Earl Jones owns one of like five Walther WA2000s that were imported into the country. By far one of the most stylish rifles ever made. It looks like something sexy you'd see in a cyberpunk game where guns for the elites are fashion statements.

Shitlibs have such a bizarre romantic attachment to fucking books. They act like burning a mass produced copy of some trash novel is equivalent to burning the Book of Kells.

Why would anyone need a library when there's digital libraries that give you everything you want without the ass pain of going to the library proper?

What, you don't believe that they mastered nanorobotics, something that would literally usher in a new "age" of technology, and rather than use it to make a quadrillion dollars, they used it instead only just to give a relatively very small number of random liberals death clots in their 30s and 40s?

lol no

"Nanorobots", uh huh.

Also we've seen this shit before, random dudes from suspiciously-bullshit sounding 'institutions' coming up with fantastical OMG BREAKING BOMBSHELL stories about the vaccine.

My favorite was the guy showing pictures of algae.
