When you look past all of the petty virtue signalling and toxic identity politics, you should see that all of this country's problems are caused by and linked to the corporate sector's terminal addiction to cheap labor.
I've held both liberal and conservative viewpoints on society so that gives me a unique perspective that allows me to see past the toxic social issues that only serve to distract the masses from the real problem.
It all started during the Nixon administration when he removed the gold standard and established fiat currency. Then he began the push to outsource the all of the high paying blue collar jobs to other countries (i.e China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc) where they barely need to pay their workers at all (and sometimes they don't!). But that wasn't enough for them; they also began the drive to "reverse outsource" the domestic blue collar jobs that can't be outsourced to immigrants from developing countries who are just happy to work for just a cunt hair above minimum wage, especially when the government subsidizes housing for them.
People LOVE to shit on Trump for one reason or another, but compared to Nixon he's a fucking girl scout. Most of what Trump did has already been undone, whereas Nixon single-handedly and unapologetically killed the American Dream.
This country is so overwhelmingly addicted to Mr. Krabs tier cost-cutting and cheap labor that our economy now largely depends on it. Even the biggest corporations can't hope to stay competitive without resorting to these greedy and cruel outsourcing measures.
Now I'd like to illustrate how toxic identity politics plays a role in the problem: the bloated Wall Street barons and paid-off politicians began to notice that an aging generation of mostly white and conservative boomers were misinterpreting the push for massive unregulated immigration as malicious eugenics. The media was always quick to bluntly dismiss these ideas but that only inadvertently served to stoke these apprehensive fears. It wasn't long before greedy oligarchical politicians chose to exploit this tragic misunderstanding by deliberately disseminating "white replacement" conspiracy theories to their uninformed victims. Playing devil's advocate, they encouraged the mainstream media to continue its method of pouring water on the impromptu grease fire which sadly drove countless fearful boomers to belligerent extremism out of desperation. The corrupt elite have essentially created their own pet extremist movement that they shamelessly used as their de-facto scapegoats to push for even more authoritarian and oligarchical policies. The Democrats and Republicans are in on this together and both benefit from this. They are very convincing actors, especially when they pretend to be enemies with each other, when in reality they all have the same goal: to turn America into a massive technocratic debt-prison.
You can chose to not believe anything I've said here, but if you don't, you should be prepared for this country's problems to only become worse. If you want real change, you must call out your corrupt leaders for pitting the masses at each other's throats so they don't notice that their country is turning into a cattle pen.

The gold standard was removed in 1933. Faggot.
Landon Young
Would be a valid take for now, but not for the future. Cheap labor won't be needed after the 4IR.
Dominic Rogers
>were misinterpreting the push for massive unregulated immigration as malicious eugenics If it has the same goal of destroying white America, what’s the difference?
Jonathan Gutierrez
>cheap labor. Yessss, cheap labor, goyim, that's all it is!
The gold standard was removed in 1971 by President Nixon.
1933 was when the federal government (briefly) went bankrupt.

Capitalism is about the effective utilization of scarce resources. It's supposed to be used FOR people, not to treat people themselves as resources to be utilized. People on both the left and right tend to get this wrong about capitalism. It's just a tool, it's not supposed to be the foundation of our society. What's the point of capitalism if we can't even have families? Cheap labor is what we need for homemaking, not for corporations.

You're a lefty.

Nixon ended convertability of US dollars to gold, Roosevelt ended the gold standard. These are two entirely different things. Hopefully you haven't soiled the gene pool yet, you fucking nigger.
My point being that either "left" or "right", your main focus should be that the working class is fucking withering away to serfdom and that our (((dear leaders))) are lying through their teeth when they say they're addressing the problem. Everything else comes second.
Levi Roberts
No, the truth comes first. Lying to make a point is still lying. Nixon did not end the gold standard.
Jace King
carefull, jannies will prune you for speaking truth like that
Yeah, and can you believe the arrogance of these fucking corporate kike clowns wanting us to go to war with China because their outsourced sweatshops cannot go full slave mode with Chinese nationalism in place?
You know you can literally go and read about this stuff on www.google.com? They don't even charge you.

It's to do with pension funds. They require constant growth or will collapse. There are two ways to go about this: the population can increase, and thus the GDP. Or, the pension funds can invest well and get their returns that way. One is guaranteed, the other requires skill and knowledge. An easy choice for the boomers. The complete destruction of every Western country so they may live out their final years on cruise ships.

capitalism in the age of automation is shit did you realize it just now?
