Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This pisses me off the most. We're all getting a good look at how bad it can actually start going, like we have a real life example happening right now, not just rhetoric, and apparently we're all fucking excited for our turn.

I'm going to get my tinfoil hat on and say its the global illuminati new world order shadow government lizard people controlling everything because im not sure I can face reality believing the majority of people are that fucking stupid.

Because the neoliberal order has absolutely decimated the standard of living for most people. People are driven from their homes by skyrocketing prices while their standard of living declines. We all see the wealth we are creating, but each year get a smaller and smaller slice of the pie. Fascists pry at the obvious flaws in the system, while the established institutions and parties swear that just a bit more austerity and investment into tech and finance companies will make everything better. Free-marlet capitalism has failed and everyone knows it, but the only the fascists are allowed to voice their solution since it further benefits the wealthy.
