 **Capitalism is fundamentally flawed and CANNOT be fixed** -- capitalists build on the idea that competition will drive society, that market will be self sustaining, however capitalism itself works for instating the rule of the winners who eliminate their competition, capitalism is self destabilizing, i.e. the driving force of capitalism is completely unsustainable and leads to  catastrophic results as those who get ahead in working competition are also in advantage -- as it's said: money makes money, therefore money flow from the poor to the rich and create a huge imbalance in which competition has to be highly forced, eventually completely arbitrarily and in very harmful ways (invention of bullshit jobs, creating artificial needs and hugely complex state control and laws). It's as if we set up a race in which those who get ahead start to also go faster, and those become the ones who oversee and start to create the rules of the race -- expecting a sustained balance in such a race is just insanity. Society tries to "[fight](fight_culture.md)" this emerging imbalance with various laws and rules of market, but this effort is like trying to fight math itself -- the system is mathematically destined to be unstable, pretending we can win over laws of nature themselves is just pure madness.

 **The underlying issue of capitalism is [competition](competition.md)** and conflict -- competition is the root of all evil in any social system, however capitalism is the absolute glorification of competition, amplification of this evil to maximum. It is implemented by setting and supporting a very stupid idea that **everyone's primary and only goal is to be self-benefit**, i.e. maximization of capital. This is combined with the fact that the environment of [free market](free_market.md) is a an **[evolutionary system](evolution.md)** which through natural selection extremely effectively and quickly optimizes the organisms (corporations) for achieving this given goal, i.e. generating maximum profit, on the detriment of all other values such as wellbeing of people, sustainability or morality. In other words capitalism has never promised a good society, it literally only states that everyone should try to benefit oneself as much as possible, i.e. defines the [fitness function](fitness_function.md) purely as the ability to seize as many resources as possible, and then selects and rewards those who best implement this function, i.e. those we would call sociopaths or "dicks", and to those is given the power in society. Yes, this is how nature works, but it must NOT be how a technologically advanced civilization with unlimited power of destruction should work. In other words we simply get what we set to achieve: find entities that are best at making profit at any cost. The inevitable decline of society can not possibly be prevented by laws, any effort of trying to stop evolution by inventing artificial rules on the go is a battle against nature itself and is extremely naive, the immense power of the evolutionary system that's constantly at work to find ways to bypass or cancel laws in the way of profit and abuse of others will prevails just as life will always find its way to survive and thrive even in the worst conditions on Earth. Trying to stop corporations with laws is like trying to stop a train by throwing sticks in its path. The problem is not that "people are dicks", it is that we choose to put in place a system that rewards the dicks, a system that fuels the worst in people and smothers the best in them.

+# Leading The Pig To The Slaughterhouse
+
+*"Move forward, don't look back, forward is good!"* --slaughterer to the pig, also capitalist to customer
+
+TODO
+
+The goal is to get someone where he is defenseless so that you can keep fully abusing him as much as you like, but how to do this? When he sees the place, he won't want to move there. You do it by small steps:
+
+1. Make the pig (customer) move a small step towards the slaughterhouse (technology dystopia), e.g. by offering it food (comfort, advanced features, more back cameras, discount price, faster porn download, ...).
+2. As it moves, silently close the door (deprecate old technology) behind the pig so that it has no way to return. If the pig starts looking back just laugh at it: "Haha, why are you backwards? That place there is obsolete and out of fashion now. Forward lies a better place! [Update](update_culture.md)! Only move forward, never stop! Look, others [are doing the same](everyone_does_it.md)."
+3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you get to the slaughterhouse (technology dystopia).
+4. Congratulations, you are now in the slaughterhouse (technology dystopia), you can do whatever you want with the pig (customer) without it having any option to back up. Want to spy on the pig 24/7? No problem, the pig has a device it can't live without that's fully under your control. Want to take 90% of his month's pay? No problem, he is depending on software that's not even physically installed on his computer which you can shut down at any second. Maybe it even has an extremely [smart](smart.md) [proprietary](proprietary.d) pacemaker in its heart so you can just kill him if he doesn't pay. Good thing is also that the pig doesn't believe this can happen because it relies on someone "protecting" it (a government that just NEVER ever sleeps because it's so SO much concerned for the wellbeing of its people, or maybe a group of 10 14 year old girls that call themselves animal right activists that will at last second appear like Marvel superheroes and save all the pigs like in the Pixar movie yeah!).

 The technique of slowly boiling the frog is used by [corporations](corporation.md), [governments](government.md), fascists and idiots to slowly take away people's freedom in small steps: each step takes away a bit of freedom while promising some reward, normally in form of additional comfort -- normal people are too braindead to see the obvious trick and are enthusiastic about the change. If you tell them that giving up [net neutrality](net_neutrality.md) or [P2P](p2p.md) encryption will eventually lead to almost complete loss of freedom, they label you a [tinfoil](tinfoil.md) or "conspiracy theorist", they tell you that "it's not a big deal". So it will go on with other and other changes and the normie is still happy because he can only see one step ahead or behind. The bad thing is that it's not only the normie who will suffer --in fact he may even be happy as a slave robot of the system -- but you will suffer as well. Normies decide the future of the environment we all have to live in.
