    When the rich are in crisis, the government bails them out.

    When we’re in crisis, we’re supposed to stop eating avocado toast…

    The crisis is that us plebs are speaking out and complaining about the gruel we’re not getting.

      Nowadays, a relevant part of the post-war and grandchildren’s generation is forcefully advocating the continued existence of precisely this capitalism. They believe that its “value-based liberalism” gives them the moral legitimacy to sweep away competing capitalisms because their competitors are not “liberal” but “authoritarian.” As if they were not subject to the same laws of the marketplace. The bottom line is that the “liberality” of the West lies only in the granting of no-cost freedoms, which are valid as long as one premise always remains untouched: submission to the principle of the exploitation of man and nature.

    When companies are in crisis there is always a bailout.
    The normal man is just suppose to die for the corporate overlord rather than get help.

      It’s not nothing. It’s so you think it’s ok that they’re stealing your wages, and ruining the world. The media is part of the crisis.
