I believe you've got the political spectrum confused. I'm not sure, as you're going on about the woes of unregulated social media while actively posting memes as a form of discussion on a social media and then going on to complain about guns being removed from posters, so I'm not too entirely sure what you're on about. I think I can understand that you've got things mixed up, however. The NSDAP, despite their name, was extremely far-right.

The solution you mention includes millions starving to death.

I wish we had better options, but you can’t enact change on a system until you’ve secured your own survival.

Owning a car does not secure your survival, quite the opposite effect in most cases actually.

Furthermore the idea that publicly traded companies have some kind of obligation to make as much money as quickly as possible is a reddit-born myth.

Shareholder primacy wasn't born on reddit, it was actually Milton Friedman who theorized of it, the Michigan Supreme Court who wrote it into precedence, and now American citizens who have to live under the consequences of publicly traded corporations having a distinct legal obligation (against the belief of some legal academics who argue otherwise, in bad faith nonetheless) to provide a profit for shareholders. This also applies to PE, who take this notion of a, once again, distinct legal obligation to provide profits for shareholders above all else, as what you would call a "Get out of jail free card," i.e. fraud and thievery is completely fine if you've got shareholders to feed.

But a CEO acting in good faith has no other obligation than to fulfill the tasks asked of them by shareholders.

Shareholders: "We demand more profits, please start acting in bad faith so I may purchase another boat this afternoon"
CEO: "ok"

Alternatively:

Shareholders: "Profits, please"
CEO: "no"
Michigan Supreme Court: "The death sentence is on the table"

This is how this has played out since 1919, Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. Wax poetic about theory, in reality people are starving over the sheer necessity that the shareholders want another buck.

Perfect, you’ve now successfully created a car-dependent society. Deaths by auto accident have skyrocketed, your people are constantly road-raging for some unforeseen reason, and your air quality sucks. But muh freedumbs.

You know, I was just thinking how awfully ironic it is that the guy who least wants his head chopped off is going to the people known for chopping heads off, giving them a reason to chop his head off.

It’s so funny how Charlie Kirk’s “legacy” is being absolutely whitewashed. He was not a man who you simply disagreed with. He was a vile, hateful man, who spread his white supremacist rhetoric to college students around the nation. He along with his supporters would frequently harass transgender and students of color before speaking at universities. Hell, I doubt he’s even read the Bible, but supposedly he would’ve been a disciple of Jesus Christ if you listen to this shit.
