the thing about the pokemon scalper discord posts is they are very funny but they’re not unique. that is how the vast majority of investors, landlords, business owners think. obviously you can find exceptions but that is simply your brain on capitalism

a capitalist is entitled to his return on investment. it is like water to him. if he does not get it, he ceases to be a capitalist. it’s not greed, not entirely. it’s an existential fear.

when i read capital i thought this stuff was some of the more under appreciated part of it, the way that marx digs into the psychology of it, what living under this system does to you and how it really, truly, isn’t a choice. once you’ve accepted the need for profit, the rest is already justified
