I've had the D+ for a few years for my daughter and then realized that all we watched was just a handful of movies on repeat (Frozen, Toystory, etc). So I cancelled it and just bought the movies.

End stage capitalism in full swing

u/696E6E6F 11d ago

So are you saying capitalism is about to end?

u/Flomo420 11d ago

more like this is the inevitable conclusion; the final iteration of it

u/militaryintelligence 11d ago

Oh, it's downhill from here. It'll get worse. The billionaires have almost all control of media and news outlets

u/JMC_MASK 11d ago

Capitalism creates the contradictions that will inevitably force it to come to and end. The 7-10 year recession/depression “business cycle” is what will lead to capitalists automating away all jobs in the name of searching for higher profits.

It either is replaced by socialism, or barbarism.

First we start with anarchism then the reset

u/OkCartographer7677 10d ago

Yeah, because so many countries that went through anarchism came out so much better.

u/JMC_MASK 10d ago

Nah anarchists have no order or structure. Socialism is the way.

u/Obelisk_M 9d ago

​Anarchism doesn't reject structure; it rejects vertical hierarchy.

u/JMC_MASK 8d ago

Okay. And I’m saying the decentralized utopia that anarchists envision is not a pragmatic thing as some vertical hierarchy is still going to be needed in our transition away from capitalism.

Unless you think your decentralized entities are able to defeat highly organized capital, you’re going to need some “vertical hierarchy”.

But hey, yall are still comrades at the end of the day. So I won’t fight you that hard.

u/DoctorBlock 10d ago

Not really socialism. It would be plutocratism.

Reading comprehension at an all time low

u/Neat_Let923 11d ago

You realize that none of this would exist in any other economic system right…???

u/DoctorBlock 10d ago

China is communist so is Russia. Currently China is on a fast track to outpace the American economy in 2-5 years.

u/Neat_Let923 10d ago

Can’t tell if you’re a bot or just an idiot…

Both China and Russia are authoritarian capitalist countries.

Have Disney month once a year. Their content doesn’t change enough to require paying for more than a month each year

And Disney have already done this in Australia and New Zealand and not enough people even noticed. The end game is obvious.

22

u/BlargerJarger 11d ago

I fucking noticed. Furious with Disney over my incomplete disc collection after they bought 50% or more of the world’s movies.

1

u/Maximum-Milk-8028 8d ago

I wonder (other than Australia ofc) if their economy is more comfortable, hence them not noticing.

u/perton 11d ago

Even more reason to just keep pirating everything! I still like to purchase physical copies for stuff I really like, but hey, if they want to take away the only way they get any money from me, that’s their choice I guess

1

u/Previous_Composer934 11d ago

You don't need physical media to own something. My mp4 file is better than a DVD disk and you have just as much control over it

u/TheShaydow 11d ago

You are being pedantic.

u/AdoraSPOP 11d ago

Huurr duurr

u/TheShaydow 11d ago

What an intelligent way to not disagree with me.

1

u/Previous_Composer934 10d ago

am I? Every time this topic comes up people talk about literal physical media and how it's better. I couldn't care less about physical media

1

u/enixlinked 11d ago

I just wanna see some angry mobs causing actual chaos and cost them loads of money. I feel like that's the only thing they'll listen to.
