Even if they were mutually exclusive, I doubt its the same people tasked with implementing whatever. Prosecutors won't be tasked with implementing healthcare or rolling back citizens united, etc. Probably don't even need them to end the illegal Iran War, whodathunkit.

    I do recall Kamala and other establishment Dems going to a rally a while back and everyone here just getting salty about how she's riding coat tails. I understand the skepticism but SOME have supported for longer than this last week.

    Didn't say it wasn't still Capitalism. But there is still nuance between one company doing everything it can to squeeze alout as much 'potential profit' possible at the expense of their products and the consumers v one that maintains the quality of product and service a the expense of 'potential profit'.

    Whatever Ism you prefer still requires people to set and maintain a standard. The lack of standards and accountability is how you get the race to the bottom.

    The point is that you can participate and thrive in capitalism without doing every resource extracting enshittification strategy in the book, which seems to be just Business 101 these days.

    Is Steam perfect? Probably not. But most other major players in this space seem to leap at every chance to charge people more while worsening their product and then we get thought pieces wondering how Steam remains popular by virtue of not actively making things worse.
