    You really can’t complain about corporate greed if you continue to support a capitalist economy.

      Tldr: Please read @rtxn comment

      essay ahead

      Greed is unfortunately ingrained into our society, although on a much smaller relative scale I have also felt the whip of corporate machinations having worked in retail on the lower end of the scale.

      As long as humanity in general in the world’s current climate consume and not be inconvenienced the cycle will continue until the rot gets so bad that something will give. How long that rot can go on and be covered up I don’t have that answer.

      I am not mentally stable, probably on the spectrum(no diagnosis to confirm that), to be a face of a new revolution. If there was a way I would love to change the system to less top heavy and inclusive but alas what can a unstable, conflicted bitter madman do - write a manifesto?

      I have never been popular, get taken advantage of and poorly motivated I have already been corrupted by the taint of the skewed system the best I can do is take small baby steps to limit my exposure to it where i can and try be a better person.

      Maybe one day I will develop the courage or it is a just a wishy-washy ideal. But for now I have the right on an open source platform ( as long as it is relevant to discussion) to complain as you have the right to be defeatist

      essay end
