Literally every institution and (((corporation))) actively works to undermine Whites and the world writ large. Theres a reason why nothing gets better and everything gets worse.

This isn't really a failure of capitalism, more of farmers failing at capitalism.

My dad owned a John Deere older than me, no electronics. They exist and you can fix them forever.

These farmers bought into the marketing bullshit that told them they'd get better crop yield with less fertilizer (ie more money) by using these new tractors. They didn't consider that they had no idea how computers worked and so wouldn't be able to fix them; they were blinded by profit.

When I buy a car, I get one with minimal electronic components because I know, from experience, that those are the components that fail first and worst. You telling me *farmers* don't know that?

I'm 100% behind right to repair, which is why I don't buy anything I can't repair myself (ie capitalism). Not only do these farmers support unfixable equipment with their own money (like they did with Roundup Ready seeds, another obvious scam), they did absolutely nothing politically to oppose copyright monopolies, and agricultural lobbies are some of the biggest in the world. Louis Rossman, a New York Jew, did more to fight these legal abuses than any farmer or group of farmers.

Oh, you lost $100,000 because your tractor broke down? I guess you should have used some of the increased profit it was generating before this point to lobby against copyright monopolies. Because that's what's causing this. If John Deere didn't have the ability to sue them into the ground, third party companies would have developed software that farmers could buy, or even use for free, to fix their tractors. Just like random hackers do with video game consoles; it's not a technical problem, but a legal one.

I'm glad to see farmers coming around but I have very little sympathy. I've been banging this drum for almost 20 years but the normie response was always "you just want stuff for free" or "this only affects musicians" or "creators deserve to profit from their creations". Well, now you have this, which people like me warned you about decades ago. Not only did you *not* fight it, but you *paid* John Deere to fuck you over.

I hope they use this as an opportunity to wake up to reality, but I doubt they ever will.

Either you fall in line with the new bullshit to stay competitive and end up a slave or you stay behind and are starved our and end up a slave, there's no winning.

To me this is high school idealistic thinking.

First of all it is a capitalism failure because capitalism implies by definition that "the market corrects itself" therefore any government intervention, of which there have been thousands or hundreds of thousands in all economic sectors, is proof of capitalism failure.

Should these companies be left on their own you'd have nothing to chose from, they'd consume the competition like they have done in the past through various fair and unfair practices. The farmer unions were probably infiltrated by JD anyway.

JD is a whole ecosystem, you can't just opt out of it when you have a whole fleet invested in them, not with major losses that you have no guarantee you can recover by siding with a much smaller actor that can and will be inevitably swallowed by JD anyway.

The copyright law preventing the farmers from using their own 3rd party tools to fix their tractors is literally a pre-existing government intervention. So how is calling to scale back that intervention any sort of failure?
