    free market capitalism

    That’s an oxymoron. Capitalism is a belief system where amassing a dragon’s hoard of wealth by any means possible is seen as virtuous rather than a sign of a severely damaged psyche.

    If the market is free, rather than rigged in your favor, you’ll be able to amass a goblin’s hoard at most, unless you’re the heir of another goblin.

      I don’t disagree. I left the failing shithole of the USA. People on Lemming are too stupid to read and comprehend most of the time.

      Americans argue for free market. Then go shocked pikachu when it bites them in the ass. Americans call socialism evil. Then not know what socialism is. Americans call rigging the markets evil. Then introduce nationalistic tarrifs and import controls.
