Also I don’t know where to put this.

I do have to say, it’s incredibly telling that evangelicals handwave the bits of the Bible that explicitly forbid usury.
this is a slight misunderstanding. gods, because their perspective is fundamentally alien, could not invent the perfect satan. it was up to us, humans, to do it. and we’ve done it. capitalism is it folks, we’ve literally imagined a satanic entity into being and now we suffer under it. wh40k aint got nothing on us.
Capitalism is a Lovecraftian entity whose tendrils are everywhere, and we are its cells, always silently screaming in an unending horror.
Basically true but capitalist societies take the stick approach where if you don’t invest all your money into the perpetuation of the machine your savings will be eaten away by state-mandated inflation and your elder years will be hell. It really is that explicit, ask any economist why a (relatively small) rate of inflation is good and they will tell you it is to incentivize investing money instead of letting it sit.
uhh is this the guy who wrote Fort Bragg Cartel?
Yeah, pretty sure he’s doing a bit (I think at least).
Inshallah, Islam was the first religion to outlaw both slavery and usury, making it the true path
Mashallah
remember back when american individualist anarchist types advocated for essentially 0 interest loans to deal with home ownership, like the bank just gives you money and charges you like 0.5% to pay for the clerks dealing with the work?
lol no of course not
wild how something like that would be a big compromise with capitalism as a system and yet socialists are the “extremists” and not the capitalist fucks who want to hold all authority in society for themselves
I don’t think it’s sinful to participate in sinful practices when society forces you too. Owning stocks is usually people’s only hope for retirement and not working until they literally die of old age. The moral onus should be placed on the people who design these systems, not those that are coerced into relying on them by design.
Yes, I’m sure this post is a bit.
Moloch wants to get you into a brand 2026 Ford F-150 with special financing.
Mammon, not moloch
As I’ve been saying…
The Economy Eats Babies!
Moloch is just a pretty chill Canaanite deity who is unfairly lumped into all this capital worship.
Really? I thought Moloch is only mentioned in the Bible, not additional historical sources, and in the Bible it means a god that wants child sacrifices, or the act of doing the sacrifice.
I’m not an expert at all, from what I understand, Moloch was the chief deity of one of the enemies of the Hebrews, hence the bad press about child sacrifice, I don’t know much about the topic and could very, very easily be wrong about it.
