>No Pixels for Fascists

Gave me a good laugh. Also the faggots from the Amadeu Antonio Foundation should do the same as the person who they're named after and get beaten to death by Nazis.

SHALOM

It's wild how so many Americans view the outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China over the past 25 years as some devious Chinese plan for domination rather than a strategy by which the American ruling class exploded its profit margin by exploiting global inequality

Communism and Capitalism have always gone hand in hand in fucking the common person on a global scale.

That's more the corporatist model rather than the capitalist model.

Fitness guru Andrew Anglin touched on this in a recent article. He writes much more extensively on it, but this is the meat of the argument:

>Although Rogan was never as politically incorrect as the site used to be, there was a lot of stuff on there – political stuff, “sexist” stuff, conspiracy theories, edgy humor – that is not allowed in the mainstream, and that was his most interesting content and what made him popular. That content is now all gone.

>This is not how capitalism is supposed to work. Capitalism would mean that his show was the most popular because of the content and that was that – the people had chosen to make him successful based on the product he was producing. But in this system he can be destroyed by an alliance of powerful interests if he doesn’t go along with the program. So he has to change his content from what was popular to less popular content in order to maintain his ability to operate his business. The really incredible thing, and the final proof that this system is not “capitalism” by anyone’s definition other than some blue-haired college student’s, is that he is getting more money and more influence while producing content that is less popular in an open marketplace of ideas.

>A few massive multi-billion dollar companies run by an ethnic mafia controlling all of the media is not “capitalism.” Though it is technically an oligopoly, given the way these companies cooperate with each other, not competing with each other aggressively while working together to smother any competition they might collectively face, having the religious bond of Judaism through which to network with one another, they effectively function no differently than a monopoly. It might as well be a single media company that controls everything.

>Adam Smith himself, considered the founder of modern capitalist theory, wrote extensively against monopolies and said that the formation of monopolies has to be restricted by the government in order for capitalism to function. In actual fact, in “Wealth of Nations,” Smith identified monopolies as the defining characteristic of the mercantile system he was opposing.

>The reason that monopolies are so destructive is that they are able to destroy their competition and thus competition itself cannot exist alongside monopolies. Given that competition is the entire purpose of capitalism, a market lockdown such as we have in virtually every single industry in America is fundamentally incompatible with capitalism.

>The lack of the ability to compete not only destroys the quality of goods and services, but crushes the ability of individuals to make their own small businesses, which destroys social mobility and leads to the wealth inequality that the socialists rant about. The goal now is to provoke the masses of people into demanding socialism in response to this corruption, and that will then give the government more power over people’s lives while simply reinforcing the power of these monopoly corporations.

>If this dynamic is not obvious to you already, then you can simply observe the fact that Jeff Bezos, who became the richest man in the world by running Amazon, a company that has become a monopoly in multiple different industries, owns the Washington Post, a propaganda outlet that consistently pushes for the establishment of socialism in America.

The ethnic/jew angle is pretty unnecessary, while yes it's the politically convenient for it's use in evading scrutiny of the larger public, it's a nonfactor in the fundamental issues with scale of corporate influence and it's detrimental impact on a free market.

Shit like the refusal to acknowledge say, for example, the deliberate and intentional action of microsoft to prevent competition by establishing dependencies on nontransferable code libraries, especially with regards to "refreshes" of said libraries with little functional improvement but more serving the purpose of hampering the translation of said libraries into real computing standards.
