    Yeah it’s literally killing people right now.

    Can’t pay for shelter, food, water or medicine? Go into debt, jail or the morgue, we don’t give a fuck.

      i did some calculations a few years back with some friends on a whim during a sidetracked DnD campaign. we came to the conclusion that capitalism is directly and indirectly responsible for over 20+ million recorded deaths annually all over the world, as a conservative estimate

      main contributers were poverty, disease, war, lack of quality healthcare, and state violence.

      we also found that the existence of 1 billionaire has an annual death count, purely by subtracting that money from the economic cycle and direct aid. i cant remember now, but it was in the thousands of deaths per billion denied to those in need by hoarding wealth.

      billionaires are violent, purely through their existence. and we shouldnt tolerate any form of violence against us.

      we should sincerely be dragging these fuckers into the street and ripping them to pieces.
