This critique sharply exposes how the subscription model replaces personal equity with perpetual debt, effectively turning citizens into permanent tenants of their own lives. It is a vital warning against a future where corporate control supersedes individual autonomy.

You will own nothing. They're trying to rent your life to you.Added:
They're trying to rent your life to you.
Do you understand? They're trying to rent everything to you. They want to make it so that you can't own a single thing for yourself. They will control everything and you will have to pay them a subscription service, a monthly rent to access every everything in your life.
That is their ultimate goal. I mean, I've been saying that for a long time, but you don't have to take my word for it. Uh why don't you listen to what Graham Platner has to say? And shout out by the way to my mutual zenial farmer for sharing this clip. I had not seen it before I saw it on his Instagram.
>> People are benefiting off of the system we have now. They know what the light at the end of their tunnel looks like.
It looks like none of us owning anything. It looks like everything becoming a subscription service.
>> Having no right to fix anything that's yours. It looks like a world in which we all have nothing and they sit in paradise behind walls of concrete and guns.
>> That's their future and we cannot let them have it >> because we have an opportunity now.
>> We are at a crossroads in American history.
>> On one path, we are looking down the dark road of fascism. We're already there. masked agents kidnapping people, murdering Americans in the streets, a federal government that is now turning back on illegal uh wiretapping without warrants.
>> We recently got rid of our HP printer because I tried to buy generic ink cartridges and my printer had done a software update and it will not run on generic ink. They want you to buy the Huelet Packard ink that is four times the cost or it will shut down your printer which you bought and paid for and you own. They are controlling a printer that I bought 10 years ago.
They're forcing me to buy. So I said, "Fuck it." And I threw it away and I bought a inkwell printer so that I can buy whatever brand of ink that I want and I can just pour it in and and do that instead. They want to control every aspect of your life. are trying to commodify and charge you, upsell you for every single thing in your life. They don't want you to have ownership over anything. It's great that everything's a subscription now. Everything's just a rental. It's fantastic. I love that.
Didn't have to do a whole lot to convince everybody to be okay with it.
They just went, "Instead of charging you one time for Photoshop, we're going to charge you threequarters of the price of Photoshop every month for the rest of your life until you die." And we all went, "That sounds great. Thank you so much." Printers on subscription services now because printing was already so [ __ ] easy. May as well get an app involved. You get 15 pages of printing free until you hit a payw wall and now you got to pay a monthly fee to use a physical object already in your house on paper that you already purchased. There are some garage door openers that are on subscription services now. Now you have to rent the ability to open a door in a house that you own or more likely in a house that you rent. You are renting the ability to open doors in the house that you rent. Even better, did you guys know that medical software is on a subscription too? the software that doctors need to use the machines to do neurosurgery. Sometimes doctors will go into neurosurgery and go, "Oh [ __ ] our subscription needs to be renewed."
We need to get our account manager on the phone before we can do neurosurgery.
The last person I want involved in my neurosurgery is a member of the sales team. Okay. We have to get a guy named Matt on a team's call before you guys can operate. Oh, it's gone downhill. The fact that everything's on subscription now makes me really confused when people are optimistic about brain chips.
They're going to advertise it by being like, "Now you can see the world how dogs see the world." But little do you know that now dog vision is the lowest tier subscription that you can have. And if you want to see like a human again, that's another $18.99 a month. After you took the bait and fell for dog vision, they're going to put taste and smell on dynamic pricing. You don't think these people are going to go so far as to make us rent our own bodies?
They don't want you to own anything and they want to nickel and dime you for every damn thing. At a period where the super rich are richer than ever, where Elon Musk owns more wealth than 180 million Americans. One man has more wealth than half of the country. They're experiencing record profits year after year after year. And yet they have to come back for more. They want to bleed us a little bit more. It's death by a thousand paper cuts, but it's so much worse. I actually think it's more like Little Shop of Horrors where Audrey 2 wants you to just just a little bit more. A little bit more until you're so Seymour is so anemic that he can't squeeze any more blood out of his fingertip. She's drained him dry. That's that's what they want to do to all of us.
>> Settle in. We got to have a conversation. Netflix, sit that ass down. Plan it. So, which one of you hoes were going to tell me Netflix is starting a pay per screen when you already pay for the streaming platform? You already pay to have it with no [ __ ] ads. I'm under the same address as all the people using my Netflix.
What are you talking about pay per screen? What are we saying?
I just got an error message talking about two screens to stream at the same time is 28.98.
28.98.
[ __ ] [ __ ] Pushing it. Pushing it was $15.99 like a year ago. Now 28.98. Oh, it gets better.
For four screens at the same time, $35.98.
Netflix, you have lost your goddamn mind. No. See, because they think that you need their product. They think that they can just nickel and dime you all to [ __ ] Cancel your Netflix. Wh Why do you have Netflix? I'm just, you know, no hate, but like, why do you have Netflix?
Canopy from the library is free. Libby from the library is free. 90% of what's on Netflix is pure [ __ ] anyway. Like, do you do you need all of these subscription services? Is there something else you could be doing and saying [ __ ] you to the endless nickel and dime exploitation of corporations who want to charge you alak cart for [ __ ] everything? They're trying to rent your life to you. They are trying to make sure that they charge you for every single little thing and that you don't have ownership over anything. I mean everything is streaming now, right?
Right. No, nobody has DVDs anymore.
Nobody has physical copies of things.
It's all digital things that are rented.
does my kids in college? They pay for their textbooks for school. And so often there's no option to buy. You can only rent. You can only rent. And then if you have a disability like dyslexia, which two of my kids have, and you want to use the talk to text software, it will only let you scan into the automated reader program so many pages of the thing that you paid for that you can't buy that you paid 80 bucks for, 120 bucks for that will expire in three months.
>> Okay, listen to me. I just tried to print something from my printer that I own. my printer that I own with ink that I bought purchased and paper and I can't print without a subscription plan.
The concept of having to have a subscription plan to print in your own home from the printer that you own that already has ink and paper in it. They remotely shut off my printer until I paid $7.50 50 cents to print in my own home.
>> Oh, a different iteration of the problem I had. Yep. Um, you can print at the library. By the way, if you live in Multma County, you can print, what is it, 50 or 100 pages per day for free at the local library. And library funding very much is use it or lose it. You have to use libraries and show that they are valued in order for them to continue to be well funded. So, but it's not just things like Netflix or your printer or things that are like luxuries or not necessities. Like you guys understand that they want to do this with basic necessities. They do it with rent, right? So many of our properties around the country are purchased by these hedge funds, by these corporate landlords who own extensive amounts of property and they're just they're just charging and charging you. But it's also things like water. You do understand the next big thing that they are trying to commodify is water. And evil Nestle has been trying to do it for a long time.
CocaCola likewise buying up water rights. Cargill also buying up water rights around the country. They're trying to take water and sell it to you.
They're trying, you know, Nestle said several years ago they don't believe that access to water is a basic human right. I want to talk more about this later, maybe over the weekend because the water crisis is hitting communities all all over the country. All over the country. And it will get worse. guys.
They don't want public utilities. They want everything to be owned by for-profit corporations that have the motive of extracting maximum profit out of you. Their only goal, their only goal is to see how hard they can squeeze you and how high they can jack their quarterly profits up for their shareholders. This is the final boss of capitalism. This is what it's like to live in the end stage of capitalism when it logically converts into fascism. What we are experiencing now is what the oligarchs have wanted all along and they want to do it even more. I do appreciate very much that we are living in a period in time where people are waking up to the reality that this has been the goal of corporations for a long time and there are so many aspects of our lives that are commodified that are taken from us things that we should have access to for free and enjoy for free or be able to purchase and own have agency and autonomy and independence in our lives.
They want us to be controlled and nickeled and dimed all to hell. They don't want you to have freedom. They don't want you to have liberty. They want you to be controlled by the surveillance estate and charged within an inch of your life so that the billionaires can live even more obscenely extravagant lives than they already live. I don't understand. They have more wealth than they could spend in hundreds of lifetimes. And it's never enough for them. It's never enough for them. And they've been doing it for a long time. This is what capitalism is.
It is about exploitation of people in the planet so that a few wealthy men can consolidate all of the wealth and power and live like gods. We are now experiencing the logical conclusion of having lived in unfettered capitalism in the United States and a corrupt party that is that is perfectly happy to weaponize the government to help the oligarchy consolidate its power. I want to leave you here with one more example that I think really clearly illustrates how they've been doing this for a long time. And I'd encourage you to reframe your thinking. Every aspect of your life, think about how capitalism has deprived you of the opportunity to experience ownership or to experience that thing for free. How they've tied profit for them to every aspect of your life in order to control you, in order to use you, to enrich them. I mean, I think the international Nestle boycott is also a really good place to start your research about what capitalism is meant to do, but also this. It's so interesting to see how people are finally waking up to the fact that American car dependent infrastructure is literally ruining the United States, yet so many of these same people are still out here defending capitalism. And it's like, you do not fully even understand.
One of the main driving forces behind capitalism is figuring out what commodities can be extracted and then sold back to you. And car dependency is exactly that. The vacation destinations in America are just walkable cities. The best example of this is Disney World or Universal or another theme park. They have extracted the luxury of being able to walk around, of being in a social environment and sold it back to you as a $150 ticket to Universal, as a form of escapism when it really should just be normal everyday life, and it is in many other countries. I feel like this is a huge reason as to why the Disney adult is even really a thing. And also a huge reason why so many Americans say that college is the best four years of your life when really it's just these are the only places where you have access to like a walkable community environment all the time. The way that we've also been propagandized to believe that every person should be owning a car and for some reason if you're not then you're a loser. the general cultural perception that like walking or taking the bus or like riding your bike instead is somehow frowned upon. Yet, it's always the cities where people are walking around and bicycling around and taking public transportation that are like the romanticized cities. Like think of NYC.
