those institutions are human, and have no human interests. they are a super organism. an emergent behavior of our capitalist society. they are literally burning the planet and killing us in the millions.

they get an opinion about things the same way a cancer gets an opinion about treatment.

they aren’t, they just want number go up, no interest whatsoever about the company. and all their individual opinions are averaged out.

and most of them aren’t even people, but institutions, banks, funds…

I’ll disagree, companies are led by shareholder interest, not people. the CEO? replaceable the moment shareholders want, he isn’t the leader.

Just like people, companies can have opinions,

and said statements should be a fart in the wind. better yet, shouldn’t exist

lobbying should be 100% illegal. corporate donations should be 100% illegal. and donations from foreign nations should be considered as treason and bring the death penalty…

Although the bar is so low, that said rules would basically execute every politician in America.

White rich worst human on the planet, easier to list the crimes he has not committed, plus a few crimes that he created. Crickets

oh, I didn’t mean to disagree, just was nitpicky about the metaphor.

i agree that a small change in the system isn’t going to do squat. the entire system needs to charge. or if anything, reformed so hard it’s basically unrecognizable.

my only complaint, is that a tiny change in a machine can change the entire function of the system. IE, just disagreeing about the metaphor.

not going to discuss theory, I’m assuming I’ll agree with you 100%. but if it’s ok for me to be nitpicky, changing a cog or a critical part can completely change the machine. change its speed, torque, and direction.

we can open the discussion about how useless these parades are. but lets not do that at a random comment saying they are attending.

isn’t stoicism just bottling up your feelings?
