Capitalism, especially the current crony oligarch type we see running rampant in the US, isn't what Adam Smith described in Wealth of Nations. Only when a company grows so large either through good timing, a robber baron founder, or whatever does it become Capitalism.
It's a commie term and doesn't really apply to 90% of what we hold dear, which is the freedom to create and trade and make a living.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at Ma12:59 PM (KZzsI) I prefer the phrase free enterprise instead of capitalism. Its just that everything will be warped by sinful man into something terrible without restraint. I mean, Communism ALWAYS is that way, so its not a viable alternative. Right, Capitalism has to be in a culture with virtue and a strong moral sense or it becomes an oppressive, corruptive force.

I can only imagine how much harder it would have been if I was already insecure or had body issues.

A lesson that we can take from what happened is the need to be more reflective about what we're saying and the harms that it can cause." " I would put that joke on the continuum of linguistic violence," said William Gay, a professor at UNC Charlotte who studies the philosophy of language. Violence can be the words we use to mock, categorize, exclude and control. Violence is not limited to slaps and kicks, according to experts who study violent speech and psychological harm. But some say Rock's language can be considered an act of violence, too. It links an article: After Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars for making a cruel joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, the public spent most of its energy moralizing around Smith's physical assault. We joke about the "words are violence", but the fascist left takes it very seriously. Along similar lines, DU has a thread which starts of with "Let's talk about LANGUAGE that hurts people.as a child, a woman, an LBTQIA+ person, a person of color, a disabled person.words DO hurt".
