  • It’s because people are too focused on who controls the capital and not focused enough on what the capital itself is actually doing.

    It doesn’t much matter whether it’s controlled by a Capitalist or a Communist if the person controlling the capital is a fucking idiot. Hell, it honestly doesn’t even matter that much if they’re smart, because the actual driver of growth has always been competition, which is only very indirectly connected to who controls the Capital, largely because it’s pretty much always been taken at the point of a gun for all of human history and likely will be for as long as we exist unless we somehow manage to decide on post-scarcity society rather than infinite growth society.



  • The forum Something Awful has had public ban notices for age, with a page listing banned or suspended users, the post they were banned for and usually a snarky joke from one of the mods. It actually ends up creating a fun atmosphere where people can get essentially “Go touch grass” moments that everyone can giggle about when it’s not that bad and it’s always hilarious watching some cesspit of a human being get absolutely fucking dumpstered in very public fashion.

    That said, I don’t think it would work nearly as well without their registration fee creating a barrier to entry.
