That’s more commonly a US thing and it’s like, “Americans saved from America.” whether health, education, or some basic social service that’s being used for profiteering.
Hey that orphan-crushing machine is a constitutionally enshrined right. I have the right to mount that thing on wheels and drive it around to crush up orphans wherever I want! And if somebody tries to stop me and gets caught up in and jams the mechanism, I have the right to sue his estate for damages!
Are you on patreon? I’ve got 20k I’d like to invest in your ideas
Yeah, because everybody knows the obvious answer. It’s untethered capitalism. And no it hasn’t always been that way. Politicians weren’t always whores for the rich. That’s a rather recent development that can absolutely be stopped by the will of the people.
As much as I respect your argument; the Romans. Or any civilisation really. It literally has always been that way.
Are you implying that the US, and the Roman’s, never had a period of growth and expansion that wasn’t late stage capitalist rot?
The comment isn’t saying this never happens really, it’s saying it doesn’t have to. This is capitalism with no guardrails.
I don’t know enough about Roman politics to contradict but “any civilisation really” is definitely too broad of a stroke.
The radical leftists marxists communists won’t let us crush orphans anymore
Make Orphan Crushing Great Again
Trump 2024
It’s called healthcare now.
Of course it’s a mystery. An honest discussion about why orphan-crushing machines need to exist would lead to an honest discussion about where your society’s pain really comes from.
And the owner class doesn’t want that discussion to happen. Because it would come out that they don’t pay their fair share of the tax burden, which would keep orphan-crushing machines from existing in the first place.

Great. Now I need to go rewatch cube.
When you say rewatch cube I think of the movie Cube, but I’m not sure that’s what you meant?
That’s the one! Great Canadian cinema. Number 1 n 3. Not number 2.
The real problem is that the orphans need a crushing machine themselves so that they could prevent to be crushed. We must protect the second crushing amendment.
The only thing that can prevent a good orphan from being crushed is a bad orphan with a… wait what?
It’s called Effective Altruism!
IDK why people are downvoting my post. That’s literally what that is.
I visited a talk with Peter Singer in Washington, D.C. a few years ago where people applauded a guy who had considered joining an NGO and decided to become an investment broker and donate to Effective Altruism instead. 🤔
