Hi all,
I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.
If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.
Cheers!
Pretty simple really: capitalism requires infinite growth. We have finite resources. The world is literally melting around us due to unsustainability.
The pet peeve of many people is the greed (of billionaires, politicians, global companies, etc) for wealth (paper, essentially) yet not giving a flying fuck about the anyone else or the rest of the planet.
Billionaires and their companies could at least pay their fair share in taxes.
At least? I’m convinced they have a moral obligation to do so much more than that.
All this talk is making me hungry for some reason
For some raw billionaire flesh?
Brined and slowcooked. Like a brisket, but fattier and more cathartic.
Raw? I could fit a small gutted adult in my smoker. 3 hours at 250 F mmmmmm.
I think the infinite growth part is a big part of the problem: “Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell”
Profit over everything else. That doesn’t support or sustain the human race.
What about capitalism requires infinite growth? And what does it require infinite growth in? What happens when growth stagnates in a capitalist system? Does it suddenly not become capitalist anymore?
Nothing. It’s just one of the slogans pinkos love to spam because they think it makes them sound intelligent
Well, that’s because the rich folk are the ones destroying the planet and we’re the ones left with the bill. And I refuse to feel guilty for their wrongdoings.
Don’t you know if you would just use paper straws the earth would stop warming? Just ignore the shipping and energy companies massively destroying the ecosystem.
I am doing my part
