 - **extreme [brainwashing](brainwashing.md) and propaganda**: [Marketing](marketing.md) reaches extreme levels in capitalism, utilizing advanced psychological tricks and repetition to the point of becoming a torture, with the goal of teaching people brand loyalty, consumerist behavior etc. Application of this brainwashing even on children has already been normalized. Entrepreneurs create cults of personalities. There is now even a "legit" job called an [influencer](influencer.md) whose sole purpose is in spreading corporate propaganda on the Internet.
 - **criminality**: This is a direct consequence of poverty, awful working conditions, [fight culture](fight_culture.md) and overall diminishing morality. Poor people (the absolute majority in the system) become desperate and do desperate things -- of course, all blame is put on them, not on those who are responsible for their poverty.
 - **instability**: Lack of long term planning, extreme interdependence, monopolies over essential resources, fragility of the market, increasing wealth gap, pushing workers to poverty while taking away social security, eliminating self sufficiency, extreme waste and other phenomena pose great dangers of market collapses, violent strikes and revolutions, running out of resources, destruction of living environment and other disasters and even societal [collapse](collapse.md).
+- **corruption**: Capital, i.e. money, is the only value in capitalism, money buys everything and everyone -- like the mafia says: "it's not personal, just business" -- whole society is just business and nothing more, power is merely a commodity to sell.
 - **need for extremely complex market control and laws, burdening society**: As corporations are absolutely unethical and pursue evil goals such as enslaving workers and abuse of consumers, there have to be an extremely complex set of constantly evolving laws and bureaucracy just to somehow "make corporations behave". However laws are imperfect and corporations work 24/7 on bypassing them as well as on attacking and eliminating the laws themselves via lobbyist etc. This creates a constant, extremely expensive legal war-like game in which everyone has to take part, which is completely arbitrary and unnecessary and which eventually corporations will likely win.
 - **uncontrolled growth**: Capitalism is likened to [cancer](cancer.md) as it requires a constant uncontrolled growth which on a planet of limited resources inevitably leads to a catastrophic scenario.
 - **hyperspecialization, loss of self sufficiency**: Entities (people, cities, companies, states, ...) lose self sufficiency as they hyperspecialize in some task and in everything else rely on someone else. This complete dependence creates slavery and danger -- in an event of a blackout for example people cannot survive as they cannot make their own food, they can't repair their basic tools etc.
-- **loss of humanity**: In capitalism humans are just consumers, machines for production and "resources" -- corporations now routinely use these terms (*human resources department* etc.). People are brainwashed to no longer even see it as concerning to be called such terms. People's worth is only in how much they can work or consume.
+- **loss of humanity, human values, virtues, good relationships and higher goals**: In capitalism humans are just [consumers](consumerism.md), machines for production and "resources" -- corporations now routinely use these terms (*human resources department* etc.). People are brainwashed to no longer even see it as concerning to be called such terms. People's worth is only in how much they can work or consume. ALL things become a matter or business and competition, both economically and psychologically -- even romantic love becomes more akin a business partnership, people sign contracts before marriage and with any material hardship divorce comes inevitably, calculation prevails over feelings and it's seen as a completely normal thing. **Truth itself is destroyed in capitalism**, information and public opinion become so valuable to business that truth is something that gets sold by "[scientists](soyence.md)", [marketing](marketing.md) and public media propaganda, whatever "fact" a politician needs to be true, he can make it so just by paying money -- that is why people become paranoid, "conspiracy theories" flourish because science has sold itself like a whore and there is no one to trust, gone are the times when people had higher shared goals such as exploration, creation of art, want of seeking the truth, when a science authority or newspaper could be trusted because one might rely on scientists and journalists to have at least some virtues and love for their craft. A science authority or famous journalist is nowadays just an expensive prostitute.
 - **abuse of animals**: In capitalism animals are just products and resources, they are kept in very bad conditions just to be killed for meat or other purpose. They are slaughtered by millions just so we can overeat to morbid obesity. Maximizing profit dictates no money should be spent on animal comfort.
 - **[productivity cult](productivity_cult.md)**: People are brainwashed and forced into becoming robots whose sole purpose is to produce. Working overtimes, skipping lunch, minimizing sleep etc. has already become part of the work culture for example in USA and Japan.
 - **financial crises**: Crises are as regular and certain in capitalism as rain is in the nature, and possibly much more unpredictable; every crisis hurts everyone but the strongest corporations, whom it in turn makes stronger. People become poorer and great many small and mid-size businesses, i.e. potential competition to the big guys, either die to a bankrupt or are forced to let themselves be devoured by the big guys. This further accelerated the scissors effect, making poor poorer (i.e. better abusable) and rich richer. This is also yet another reason why the small "good guy"/"not only for profit" companies always lose, they simply refuse to steal the food of others to eat themselves obese before a famine and so they will die during the next famine or the next or the one after it. Only the bad guys survive many series of crises.
 - **everything is fake**: Everything is rotten and corrupted on the inside with an extreme effort towards putting up a misleading good looking facade. TV shows, including "news", are all staged (even those swearing not to be, no producer is going to invest money in something depending on pure luck), smiles and emotion of people you meet in workplace or see on ads, women's tits, butts and faces, men's muscles, photos on social media, food that has basically no food in it, even news and facts, everything is fake. Investigating any area (government, working conditions, technology, healthcare, education, charities, academia and "[science](soyence.md)", ...) a bit in depth practically always leads to unrevealing how corrupt it actually is despite it looking nice and ideal at the first look.
 - **loss of ownership**: Even that which is most saint to a capitalist -- property and the ability to own things -- is greatly lost under capitalism. This happens with the trend of everything becoming a service, a typical example of which is so called "[software as a service](saas.md)". While in the past one would buy a physical copy of a program that he would at least physically own forever, nowadays many programs become a subscription service, e.g. games, movies and music are no longer something you buy but just buy a one time ticket for. But this trend is everywhere, artificial obsolescence tries to limit durability of physical goods such electronic devices so that one has to keep consuming them like a service.
 - **[rape effect](rape_effect.md)**: The mechanisms of capitalism work in such ways that everyone gets progressively more raped with any further advance of capitalism.
-- **endangering existence of all life**: The mentioned destruction of environment, lack of long term planning, irresponsibility and instability along with creating a dangerous overdependence on technology and interconnections of self insufficient states and cities is just waiting for a disaster such as [CME](cme.md) that immediately collapses the civilization and consequently endangers all life on Earth e.g. by meltdowns in nuclear plants or possible nuclear wars as a consequence of panic. The absolute preference of immediate profit is hostile towards investments in future and precautions. RIP.

 - *"Capitalism just works, capitalism is natural, capitalism means [progress](progress.md) etc."* -- **Capitalism doesn't work, it's just hard to get rid of.** Progress isn't dependent on capitalism, progress can't be stopped and will be here even without capitalism, on the contrary, capitalism mostly smothers the good kind of progress, e.g. by inventing intellectual property it prevents full utilization of us having the technology for unlimited sharing and reusing of information. If it "works and is natural", then it works and is natural natural in the same way as for example cancer or wars. This doesn't mean we should support it or see it as something positive. Most of other similar lies are discussed in sections above. 
 - *"Capitalism produces best quality products for lowest prices."* -- An extremely prevailing myth that is a complete 100% lie, it is enough to take a look at anything produces in capitalism and before it, for example in countries that switched from "communism" to capitalism. Capitalist products last about 1% of the time they normally would due to artificial obsolescence and consumerism, they are littered with [DRM](drm.md), [bloat](bloat.md), surveillance technology, made from cheapest material, designed to break, show ads and so on. Capitalism aims to produce the lowest quality product that will just barely be accepted, anything better is wasting profit. { As a curiosity compare for example movie dubbings in countries during "communist" and later capitalist eras (e.g. Hungary or Czechia) -- ask the people who live there, they will tell you the old dubbing was art, made with care, the new dubbing is a hasted shit produced as cheaply and quickly as possible. ~drummyfish }
 - Fairy tales about about the rich "capitalist altruist": you will hear stories about famous capitalists that paint them as nice guys who give to poor for free, who do manual work despite not having to etc. This is just part of cult of personality propaganda and applying cheap populist tricks to deceive masses. A rich guy giving $100 to a poor kid on camera is an extreme powerful marketing that costs $100, which for a billionaire is of course a laughable cost. The fact is that every billionaire is the best player of the most dirty game humanity has invented and researching any such guy reveals, basically in 100% of cases, that he was in fact the worst imaginable psychopath -- Edison killed animals with electric current as part of marketing, the owner of McDonald's stole the idea and know-how from McDonald brothers ALONG WITH their own name, similar thing happened with KFC, Steve Jobs was infamous for his psychological pressure on workers equating torture, the working condition's in Ford's factories were basically the same as those for black African slaves, etcetc. **Trying to find a rich man that's good is like trying to find a shark who's a vegetarian.**
+- "You sometimes have to suffer unpleasant things in life." -- It is true that living a good life involves SOMETIMES voluntarily choosing to undergo suffering for things you feel are MORALLY GOOD. Capitalists turn this on its head and tell you: you have to suffer CONSTANTLY and do things you hate and know that are MORALLY WRONG, because that's "how life is" (because we made it to be that way). See the difference, refuse to conform.
 - *"Capitalism isn't perfect but it's the best system we know."*: complete [bullshit](bullshit.md), capitalism is probably the worst system that there ever was. See this whole article.
 - *"Successful capitalists are the most intelligent people."*: on the contrary, mostly the stupidest people become successful -- success in capitalism depends mostly on luck and lack of moral obstacles, i.e. doing whatever it takes to succeed such as stabbing friends in the back, public lying, exploitation of workers etc. High intelligence is actually a disadvantage in this manner as it makes one see all the negative consequences of his behavior, a smart man sees that by engaging in capitalism he is not just hurting and even killing other people, but even e.g. working towards destruction of art, culture, living environment and possibly life itself. Being a successful businessman in capitalism is like steering a plane full of people, including oneself, towards ground -- only an idiot can do it.
 - *"The first word a baby says is "mine" therefore capitalism proven.*: indeed a candidate for the top 1 retarded arguments that only a newborn level brain (like Frank Zappa size) might produce :D First word a human says is usually something like "aaaaaeeeerrrrrffff".
