The relationships are actually already well established, if you want to understand what the ecology of the corporations-as-states environment you'll have to entangle a complex web of personal, political and business relationships that developed over an incredibly long period of time I dont know if theres anyone who can elucidate the current configuration of these networks of control but here's a primer from, my god, 2007: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bruceupbin/2011/10/22/the-147-companies-that-control-everything/ this PDF has all the data and citations

Cinnamon Bear posted:imagine children growing up now for whom this is normal We already did have adults who never knew anything but the US when at war. That was pretty much the entirety of the Cold War, the US jumping from one intervention in a foreign country to the next. You're the weirdo for taking a brief period of peace as the standard.

Grondoth posted:I'm surprised more people on this website don't carry cash. It's the best way to circumvent all sorts of bullshit hook in fees. A while back my department at work all agreed to chip in on a going-away present for someone, and at the end we each owed six bucks to the guy who'd actually bought it. While everyone was trying to figure out how to Zelle it to each other or whatever, I just plunked a Lincoln and a Washington down on the desk in front of the guy, and everyone looked at me like I'd grown another head. I even took a bit of ribbing for using something as old-fashioned and inconvenient as cash, while they all spent another ten minutes getting all the emails and whatnot straightened out to do their tiny little bank transfers. Fortunately, only one restaurant near the office has stopped accepting cash entirely, and it's not one I would go to very often anyway.

I always tip in cash if I have it, but that's barely ever because on an average day I might have $7 in my wallet. Related, but I think one of the big reasons the past 30 years have seen crime drop (violent street crime, obviously white collar crime doesn't count) is because people don't carry cash anymore. Used to be you mug a guy in a nice suit in an alley your guaranteed to clear a few hundo, but now everyone just pays for everything with a debit card. I mean yea you can steal a smartphone which everyone has, but then you gotta fence it for pennies on the dollar and hope there's no kill switch built in.

Cinnamon Bear posted:imagine children growing up now for whom this is normal i have some bad news about the last 150 years the current status quo where we're not officially at war but can't go two months without a US soldier blowing someone up in a country we have "interests" in is how things have been since before any of us was born even before WWII, in the days of our so-called "isolationism". hell, even before WWI. about the only time it ever stopped was during the Depression, when all the troops were too busy shooting strikers and civil rights activists back home to bother with foreign interventions

Home Alone was supposed to be just slapstick, but it got out of hand and really conveyed the pain. Torture was all over the place back in the Batman Animated Series, to show how tough and hard-boiled Batman is. He never actively beats up anyone, but there's a lot of death threats. The ol' "if you just threaten to murder somebody but don't actually murder them, it's fine" gambit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqjR9rFelpw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q_oe2R_WB8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMLUi_pUb0M I'm pretty sure the physics of plane flight and stall speeds mean that last one would probably be fatal, or at least put you in the hospital. Back in those days there was a push towards being edgier, which kinda laid the ground for more questionably moral heroes before the propaganda to justify American torture.

whats the deal with venmo? is it safe? i just downloaded it because someone wanted me to try it and on the front page its showing who is paying who. is the point that it's more public, like buttcoin ledger (but not with the extra-stupid mining)?
