RESPONSE: working as intended.
@RadioAngel liberals: "capitalism is just human nature! can you imagine the kind of work it'd take to make people understand and accept a different system?"
children who haven't been sufficiently socially conditioned yet: "I don't get it, why don't people just share and help each other?"
I know I've mentioned this before but I'll never forget when I was a kid and I heard about "the unemployment rate" or something for the first time and I tried to get my mom to explain it to me
If these people want to help, why don't we let them? They're poor, so is there not enough stuff for them? We could let them work and they can make stuff for themselves! Or if there already is enough stuff, we could just let everyone else work a little less and then these people can work too. Or just give them the stuff, if it's there already, and they wouldn't have to work because we don't need them to. Why don't we just do that, mommy?
And I honestly don't remember a shred of her answer because I'm 90% sure it was a dodge or otherwise just unsatisfying
Turns out, I was right! Unemployment *doesn't* make sense!

so uh. friend's brainstorming a setting & like, incidentally came up with an organisation named after the chimera with the specific description that they "break all aesthetic rules and use as many different conflicting aesthetics of technology as possible"
i'd challenge you to name any part of this that isn't just describing me, but we already know you'd lose
