“Look, America is founded on free enterprise and capitalism,” said Bill Essayli, the first assistant United States attorney for the central district of California, during the press conference. “Anyone who attacks our values, our way of life, our system, which provides the best goods and services to the most people, we’re gonna come after aggressively.”
Those first two translate to me as “Remember I hate the same people you do, so it’s OK to struggle while I keep more money. I donate to Republicans, you know.”
He’s saying their values are everyone’s values. “Our way of life” is trying to rally us to his side–“rally around the flag”–to divide us against ourselves. It works pretty well with MAGA, and they all know it.
I don’t think he’s right about America’s founding ideas. Free enterprise, maybe. But capitalism is a different beast, and only came to America much later. The young country’s first taste of real capitalism was the East India Company and their tea trading business. And look how they reacted to that.
I don’t think capitalism was what the USA’s founding fathers had in mind at all. I do think the linguistic conflation of “free market” with “capitalism” is an intentional large scale psy-op designed to make people forget that. And it’s working.
The US founding fathers only gave voting rights to men with capital. I think that maybe those rich slave owning genocide enthousiasts who revolted because they were being taxed to pay the wages of the soldiers that suffered permanent injuries to defend their property might have been cool with capitalism.
Those anticapitalist shitheads. They should be beaten with billyclubs and have their wages reduced for the pain and suffering they have caused their bosses.
What a thing to say.
All Property Matters!
They don’t give a fuck about people, but they do give a fuck about their assets.
And that’s why it’s perfectly acceptable to do whatever the fuck you want to these people’s assets. Burn it all to the ground if that’s your vibe.
“Our values” and “our way of life” sound so strange. Especially since “best goods and services” is a crock of shit. 😂

Those are human rights in other countries.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that commerce and capitalism are the same thing.
I was never great at history, but I seem to recall Alexander Hamilton being a big supporter of capitalism.
How’d things end for Alex?
first to get Luigied
I dont know what he’s even trying to say. He’s coming after employees that want to be paid more?
Yes. It’s an (unfortunately) empowered corporate scree. Pure retaliation slave owner bs, looking for blood.

I assume this is his internal monologue.
Hes a slaver
How dare they demand a living wage? Why, it’s unAmerican!
No it wasn‘t.
