Yeah it is one of my biggest pet peeves when people say capitalism drives innovation. Like, it does help spread technology, and it can cause tech to be refined quickly (e.g. the smartphone), but it is absolutely not what has driven the vast majority of innovation. People just want to solve problems and fiddle with things they find interesting, not make bucketloads of money.

… Definitely the trump cult? Like yeah, you could argue that Democrats are also a problem, but the ‘bigger’ problem is pretty fucking obvious
