      Wouldn’t work, unlike the Protestants, who all had their own interpretations of the Bible, so they had to learn to not persecute each other

      Corporations, capitalists, and the people they’ve bought in government are all on the same page worshiping the Almighty Dollar and it’s Holy Book, Modern Monetary Theory.

      You’ll find the economics discipline frighteningly dogmatic and unwilling to adapt to new information or accept that accepted theories may be flat out wrong.

        Um, revolution kinda implies killing those corporate overlords, in that case it doesn’t matter if they can adapt or not

      It’s ironic because the hippies were the ones saying this in the past and now they’re the ones in charge.

      Gives me hope that pretty soon I will be old enough to reap the benefits and damn the consequences. Really looking forward to it.

        I always say hippies are just conservatives who wear zany clothes and compost.
