What a thing to say.
“Our values” and “our way of life” sound so strange. Especially since “best goods and services” is a crock of shit. 😂
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."
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.
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?

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.
Those are human rights in other countries.
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.
Those anticapitalist shitheads. They should be beaten with billyclubs and have their wages reduced for the pain and suffering they have caused their bosses.
I assume this is his internal monologue.
No it wasn‘t.
