The Upright Capitalists Brigade works to compel the whole planet to submit to the Market God. Or else.
If by "blessed," they mean "tossed aside."
The Market loves you and has a plan for your life. If you submit to the Market's will, you will be blessed.

Have you accepted the Market as your Personal Lord and Savior?

The Market makes this world.

There is no overturning of the temple tables in our religion. At least not until we can find a way to commodify that sort of thing.

Generosity is a fiction. Altruism is just self-interest in disguise.

Whatever you do, do not practice radical generosity! We don't want to have to send the brute squad after you!
What would happen if millions of people started dabbling regularly in unbounded generosity?

Wouldn't that become a worthy rival to the rapid advance of Global Corporate Feudalism?

Wouldn't that kind of widespread generosity absolutely baffle the Upright Capitalists Brigade?

Easy there.

It's not like we have a brute squad to send after naughty consumers who weren't spendy enough this Christmas season.

Not yet.

The Upright Capitalists Brigade doesn't care what #Capitalism does to the planet.

We're planning to move to Mars anyway.

Poor character written by a rich author: My problem is that I feel so inferior beside these beautiful, sophisticated rich people

Musk isn't going to be satisfied with being the Shadow President. He's gunning for Emperor of Global Corporate Feudalism.

First one, then the other.

Corporations are not democracies. Do not expect the governments they own to be democracies either.

Global Corporate Feudalism is coming. Are you ready?

If not, you better make quick friends with the nearest manor lord.
CEOs make all the decisions, subject to a Board of investors, workers have no voice: organizing a company this way increases shareholder profit, but it is NOT a democratic system of governance. In government this is Authoritarianism. Voters fantasize that they're The Board, but they are the serfs.

Sometimes the Market God expects a human sacrifice. Very old school, this Market God.

"Capitalism" should start with a capital letter, just like all the other religions.

The Upright Capitalists Brigade is confident #capitalsm will continue as long as people aren't telling a more compelling story than the story capitalism tells.

The Upright Capitalists Brigade is confident #Capitalism will continue as long as people see it as an economic arrangement and not as a false religion.

NYPD was founded to protect the Upright Capitalists Brigade. That's it's original purpose.
NYPD perfectly illustrates in a single day that they only exist to protect the oligarchy.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

What do you think is the bigger problem in higher ed? Woke indoctrination or half the profs making $3,000 per semester? Hard to say
