scully's not wrong. i'll die under whatever economic system. I'll just do it sooner under capitalism.

It's not the dying, its the living that capitalism makes unbearable

First economics comment that made me chuckle in a long time. A long, long time.

No human system is exempt from corruption.

If games taught me anything, it's that people love to exploit the shit out of anything, whether it be other people, money, religion, economics or politics.

It is difficult to stomach, but the sooner we start acknowledging the human problem, the sooner we would start fixing things.

i think pickles predate capitalism. Just an obvious idea, because it is delicious! Also, there is an area in germany close to Berlin called Spreewald, which is famous for its pickles and it is part of the former GDR!
