        The direct currency manipulation stuff is one thing, I’m more talking about stocks and weirdo derivative assets. The government should be snapping up rents so that capitalists actually have to produce or die.

      i’m going further. imagine as the state becomes increasingly impotent, dependent on “AI”, with nobody understanding a single function anymore

      until a group of leftists (who are still maintaining deep technical knowledge through the power of knee socks and cat ears) basically just finds an exploit in the entire U.S. market economy and interwoven remnant government structures

      just take control of the military and police’s paychecks. nobody in power knows even how to effectively “reboot” the decrepit systems or stop this because everything is intangible now
