    It’s capitalism. The problem is capitalism. This literally happens to every form of media. The people create something good. Music, TV, games, the internet. Then capitalists figure out how to milk it for cash. They exploit it until it’s a shell of what made it good. The people create something else, and the cycle continues.

    Capitalists do the same to natural resources, nature, and people. They find some new frontier to leech off of and when they’ve sucked it dry they move to the next horizon. They’re parasites that don’t create anything themselves, they only know how to drain others.

      evergreen Utah Phillips story about natural resources

      I hold Google personally and individually responsible for spreading fascism. Their aglo puts fash shit in front of children, and it’s been far too many years for them to claim it’s unintentional.
