      Listen, I hate capitalism as much as the next guy, but that’s not the case. Normies ruined the internet, then capitalists latched onto the normies.

        Normies ruined the internet

        I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the Cyptocurrency freaks, the click bait video game ads, and the endless AI generated slop.

        What was this about my dear sweet mother, who can barely check her email anymore because of all this crap, ruining the Internet?

      They would sell you the rope to hang yourself … and market you the idea that it would be a good and popular thing to hang yourself with their Deluxe Hangman 3000 Super rope made from naturally sourced hemp.

        I think the expression is the capitalists will sell you the rope with which you’ll hang them.

        So long as you’re planning to hang them next quarter – they can’t see that far.

      Stop blaming capitalism - people are the problem, not the systems they create.

      The average person is a fucking retard and that’s not changing - when they reach a space, it goes to shit.

      they would sell to you the rope to hang them.

      They would sell you a subscription for the rope nowadays.
