  • You can still bribe leaders in a communist system. Woman amd healthcare exist in lots of capalist systems.

    While most people who were alive in the former Soviet block would prefer to go back to when it existed because it caused a huge economic disaster when they sold the countries off for parts and privatized everything for the oligarchs

    Not even close to most. Make friends in Europe.

    The important part is that it’s a system not focused on things like GDP, growth, or money made by corporations to determine success, but the happiness and well-being of all the humans as a collective

    Don’t I have the power over my happiness in capitalism because I can work towards higher wealth extraction to achieve my own goals?.















  • Lalo lost because he likes vlogging. So much for the scary powerful smart killer.

    Gus left the safe house because he planned that Lalo likes vlogging. Impossibly improbable. Beyond stupid.

    Natcho dies because he wasn’t smart enough to come up with a better plan despite frequently demonstrating that he’s smart. I can understand being unable to run from your problems forever, but his ending was the laziest way to show that.

    Jimmy and Kim were just passive observers in something that didn’t really involve them. Kim has a life before Jimmy, and the boring life without Jimmy is unfitting of her character. Jimmy never had an expressive turn that justified his change of heart. It was unearned.

    Genuinely lazy writing. There was no point for any of these characters to exist. By far the worst final season of a show to ever exist. So much potential wasted.



  • I wonder why I found True Detective unoriginal but I suspect it’s because I grew up on The Simpsons where philosophy and metaphysicality frequently is the joke and plot of an episode. Maybe a perspective that expanded on and challenged common modern thought would have made True Detective interesting to me, but as it was I felt it lacked insight and purpose. The show didn’t personally expand on anything I knew to be true.
