re: 'capitalism' 'capitalism' 'capitalism'
I'm as anticapitalist as the next [Entity Descriptor] but that's just step zero.
'capitalism' 'capitalism' 'capitalism'
Describing the modern state of things as merely 'capitalism' or 'late stage capitalism' is really not that helpful. You can afford to choose a more specific term or be more descriptive. Like obviously there are issues with Capitalism generally, people make careers off of describing that. But maybe it is more useful to target the actual status-quo rather than its unrealized or only partially reified platonic ideal? Or going the socialist variant of apocalyptic about it?
Or maybe it is not only worth talking in terms of further specifics, but also talking about something more general than 'capitalism', since unlike what a bunch of brocialists think we've got a number of mostly unrelated problems.
Something about just ranting about 'capitalism' is neither specific enough nor general enough when you are defining what is so oppressive about life on earth now.

I want to shout one more thing about personal info leaks that I haven't seen enough.
YOU CANNOT RESET YOUR FACE
If you get a text password stolen, yeah, it's a pain. But you can reset all passwords and five years from now it will be little more than a fun anecdote.
If you get your face, fingerprint or iris scan leaked when you are 30 years old, your face stays leaked when you are 70 years old. You cannot reset that shit for your whole life.
RealIDs are ticking time bombs.
FBI arrests an alleged protester after running their unmasked photo (taken by corporate media) thru a facial recognition filter, in Portland --
https://rosecitycounterinfo.noblogs.org/2025/08/all-cameras-are-cops/
"Every camera is an asset to the state and a threat to those who fight back. From the professional journalist “just doing their job” to the movement livestreamer who’s “on your side,” to the protester waving their phone around for a social media post- all cameras are cops. This case is just the latest example, but there are many more that have come before. As AI and facial recognition software use expands, it is more important than ever to block, paint, and smash cameras at protests."
