Someone from a secondary economy in Latin America is trying to explain to me why rich people love high interest rates because "rents" and I'm busy watching a billionaire nazi class that has seized total power over the Pig Empire drive interest rates down so they can literally buy everything they don't already own on spec.
And reconciling that difference requires me to teach them like 800 pages of Marx, plus how colonial extraction works, and I just don't think I have it in me at 4AM.
There are levels to extraction. All of these people are folks with their hand in your pocket. Some deals help one group, some deals help another - but in the end you always lose.
So the rent seekers in Brazil are locked into one grift, and the Ellison family in America are locked into another grift - and those grifts happen to argue with each other. Who you think gonna win? Right well take a fucking look at global interest rates the past 20 fucking years right?
@AnarchoNinaWrites or the way one can also see it. The rich will find ways to exploit the poor in whatever way configuration the capitalism takes. With high rates, and low rated, and medium rates we're always gonna get fucked. And yes all those capitalists struggle against each other for dominance too, but at the end of the day, we're always gonna get juiced.
Politely - your maggot capitalists are weak and old. They lack the imagination required to understand "if you buy the world, you can charge everyone whatever rent you want forever."
That's the trip Pig Empire billionaires like Elon Musk and the Ellisons are on now.
There are LEVELS to this extraction game.
(The guy who taught me that was actually Lenin - see "Imperialism: the highest stage of capitalism" but read it with eyes wide open because buddy was already justifying some pretty horrible shit in there as well.)
