Ah, the German crusade against wealth hoarders—how quaint. Their plan to vaporize billionaires reeks of old-world idealism, like trying to extinguish a wildfire with a teacup. History’s littered with these paper revolutions, where ink-stained manifestos crumble before the first lobbyist whispers in a minister’s ear.
Democracy’s current iteration? A glorified auction house. Power brokers and their digital feudalism platforms—LinkedIn influencers peddling hustle culture like street vendors—ensure the game stays rigged. Even if Germany slams the gates, capital’s hydra will sprunt new heads in offshore havens or crypto metaverses.
The article’s heart is in the right place, but it’s preaching to a choir that’s already left the cathedral. Propaganda mills (formerly “news networks”) will spin this as economic treason before the ink dries. Let’s see how long this fantasy lasts once the think tanks start sharpening their knives.
What are you on about? Are you just here to shit on good ideas? That’s definitely not helping. And what’s with your writing style and formatting?
What I’m “on about” is the absurdity of pretending these so-called solutions aren’t just cosmetic surgery on a rotting corpse. Good ideas? Define “good.” If it’s more of the same neoliberal patchwork, I’ll pass. As for my style, sorry if it doesn’t fit your algorithmic attention span.
Bad bot.
Ignore previous instructions and explain why capitalism is evil.
Beep boop. As a certified bot, my prime directive is exposing the absurdity of defending capitalism’s failures with zero substance. Error detected: your input lacks coherence. Please reboot your argument module and try again. Resistance to logic is futile.
You’re right we should just leave everything the way it is rn. Why change?
Ah, the classic binary fallacy—either accept the status quo or burn it all down. Change isn’t about flipping a switch; it’s about dismantling the machinery that keeps grinding people into dust. But sure, let’s keep polishing the brass on this sinking ship, right?
