touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.”

What does that mean? I can read it in too many directions.

IMO using the system in a way that abuses the system only perpetuates another system of abuse.

That's what currently is happening. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

More competition is needed, more market economy, to make the system fair again. It's not abusing the system to start a business.

No, it's just using the system as it is intended. But most businesses fail.

We need to abolish the system.

But most businesses fail.

That's ok. It's possible to invest in more than one company.

We need to abolish the system.

And do what?

Good old communism.

No advertising, no stocks, no fucking with money at all.

First step is to house and feed everyone, and build rails all over the world, to stop the car brain rot.

Then we figure out what's next.

no fucking with money at all

Like no money or like no derivatives?

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 35 minutes ago

No derivates ever. Ideally no debt, either.
