Wow, it's like you came right out of a neoliberal college and has only watched CNN and Netflix while never picking up a book in your life.

>Modern global managerial capitalism has even less to do with your ideals.
I actually have the impression that managerial capitalism (which was kind of symbiotic with the nanny state - jobs for life, unions and employee pensions and all) died somewhere in the 1980s and has been replaced with an utterly sociopathic beast from hell made up of startups, mergers, brutal layoffs, job hopping, insane employee turnover rates, outsourcing and voracious corporate raids.

Ditto to you to

>Can everyone who hasn't experienced life for themselves please refrain from ever posting on /lit/ again? I don't want to have to request Hiroyuki to impose mandatory life-experience testing to post here, but I really can't stand the fact that we have inexperienced minds shitposting on this board. Please do one brave thing in your sad lives and leave.
