But regular people from countries which are sanctioned by countries do benefit from it, yet their benefit is still not worth it? I understand being critical and wary and vigilant, but to outright deny its usefulness for people with little options outside of official government sanctioned forms of economic power? You've deemed their plight and cause as outweighed and tainted by the wealthy who they have zero control over.

bro did it for the content

Think of a co-op vs charity.

You haven't driven down an ice covered road with the top down and a kerosene heater to keep you warm plowing away the fields of untouched powder

fork it and make it better or pay someone else to or accept the downvotes for irrationality

Hell yeah load up the birdshot

Corporations are people except when they're conveniently not!

Maybe but I'm on my way

If someone cried out "I need to engineer a web application and work with a whole group of people to bring it about" I happily would though because I'm an engineer even though I don't have a degree

I may be self-taught, but I love the field of programming computers and have studied it in my own free time. I happily call myself an engineer if the 99% of engineers coming out of uni and entering the job market can be called one.

We're still following the exponential curve of capitalism that leads to wealth disparity and corporate feudalism. Obviously not more of the same. No one is claiming we stopped at our current position, we are still driving down the road. That isn't changing today or tomorrow. The best we can hope for right now is people wanting socialism. That's all we can hope for.

Your disappointment is because you had unrealistic expectations of capitalism in America. This is par the fucking course.
