  • You are saying that capitalists own the means of production, while “little capitalists” don’t.

    I don’t think its useful to lump in high-income professional work with the low end of capital accumulation. The sums may overlap, but the actual class interests don’t, at least not entirely. Good analysis should recognize the distinctions here.











  • Yeah, look at pugs and tell me humans are capable of the kind of careful long term deliberation needed to decide the genetic future of a species.

    And even that framing has too narrow a scope. Can’t separate you from your microbiome, can’t separate an organism from it’s ecology. If you could somehow have a eugenics project free from prejudice (fat fucking chance), you run into the problem that a eugenics program would be an unrealistically complex and long term undertaking, prone to terrible mistakes even from the most well meaning practitioner.








  • Falling down and landing head head first is lethal at any age. Ladders don’t even have to be a part of it, normal standing height can sometimes be enough. It happens more to older adults because they don’t have the speed or mobility to break their own fall, but it can kill a youngster too if they’re not careful.



  • Won’t someone think of the poor poor drug dealing capitalists with their measly 40 billion dollar industry!

    The valley itself may have split in Harris’ favor, but how do you suppose the private owners and the shareholders of the publicly traded wine companies voted? Do you think the people who actually pick and ferment the grapes would be that much better off if Canadians had never left the market? As if any downsizing and job-loss wasn’t already in the chamber and waiting for a convenient excuse to do what the ownership class was always gonna do anyway.
