liberalism is a capitalist ideology. it requires capital to move its policies. therefore the policies are dictated by capital. meaning that the ecological barrier between life and death on planet earth is filtered through capitalistic economic beurocracy before it is dealt with on a timeline that is suitable for reality. meaning.

we are fucked if we continue to pretend capitalism will ever address climate change in any meaningful way as long as there are rich people who believe that human rights have a dollar value.

that is liberalisms fundamental flaw. it waits for 1’s and 0’s before it moves in any meaningful direction, and if there is no backer to put up the capital for it. it isnt happening. and there is far more capital pushing for climate collapse than there is pushing against it. even if the capital holders dont realize what they are “voting for” with their wallet.

to over simplify this scenerio. liberalism says that you have rights (life, liberty, persuit of happiness, food, water, shelter, entertainment, a clean environment, etc) but only if you have the capital to say that you have those rights. if there is no capital to push those rights, then you dont have them.

an example being. if you are hungry. and you walk into a store. but have no money for bread. and you take some bread from the store to feed yourself so you dont starve to death right then and there. the store owner who has capital, and owns property, can call the police or security. and have them perform state sanctioned violence, because you took something which imho, should be a human right in every society. so, if you dont have the capital to say you are entitled to food, a right. then you dont have a right to food.

i detest and hate conservative capitalism. but liberalism is also a scourge of unfetered capitalism in the modern era, the overton window has shifted. liberalism just understands that workers need a few more scraps from the stable for longevity of productivity. and thats basically it. the rest is just fancy marketing and highschool level psychology tricks to keep people voting for them. no lasting meaningful change that cant be undone by larger capital, just crumbs and broken promises.

capitalism, and all its sub ideologies are a poison to the planet and everyone who calls it home.

people have a tendancy to say one thing, and do another. especially when there is an incentive (like capital) to do so.

for those who may not know. he was one of peter theils dialogue members. he claims it was just a dinner thing. im not convinced considering his whole shtick has been pushing digital ID for the “sake of the children” as well as regulating AI, primarily in a way that would make it impossible for open source software to continue to remain open without identification. and to make government contract companies the only ones who can play in that sphere.

hes an actor, which is a professional liar, so, take that information as you may.

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.
