    It was capitalism. Proves that they would sell to you the rope to hang them.

      Listen, I hate capitalism as much as the next guy, but that’s not the case. Normies ruined the internet, then capitalists latched onto the normies.

        I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the Cyptocurrency freaks, the click bait video game ads, and the endless AI generated slop.

        What was this about my dear sweet mother, who can barely check her email anymore because of all this crap, ruining the Internet?

      They would sell you the rope to hang yourself … and market you the idea that it would be a good and popular thing to hang yourself with their Deluxe Hangman 3000 Super rope made from naturally sourced hemp.

        I think the expression is the capitalists will sell you the rope with which you’ll hang them.

        So long as you’re planning to hang them next quarter – they can’t see that far.

      Stop blaming capitalism - people are the problem, not the systems they create.

      The average person is a fucking retard and that’s not changing - when they reach a space, it goes to shit.

        This self-loathing bullshit is way too common.

        People aren’t the problem, the average person is average, the system is what drives down the average mental and emotional intelligence instead of up, and humanity is filled with plenty of people like Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, and Harriet Tubman.

        “People” are okay. They’re just suffering under the boots of a small group of people who are not.

      • I think a problem is that different people have different meanings attached to the word capitalism

        when some people hear it they think of trillionares exploiting homeless people, but when I hear it I think of private property and markets and competition

        Im chill with the 2ed meaning, as long as it doesnt get out of control (like nowadays)

      they would sell to you the rope to hang them.

      They would sell you a subscription for the rope nowadays.
