I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.
Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.
The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as “we’ll just handle it”) plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.
Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.
Okay how do I persuade the rich to stop being rich because it’s unsustainable? Don’t worry, I’ll wait.
Thank you for your submission, but we already have an excellent example.
Nah, you have someone starting a dialogue. This is my comment you’ve branched off on so, don’t handwave me away like I’m another random voice chiming in.
I said in another comment here, “People matter more than money, and without people money doesn’t matter.”
This is literally the nuance you seem to want, a dialogue exploring the topic. If you are pro-capitalism, you must hold an awful lot of capital, if you hold a lot of capital, your arguments for you holding that capital are highly biased. If you are pro-capitalism and you don’t hold a lot of capital, why are you helping them and why is it so important to you that people like me suffer?
You’re so intent on defending your underlying point that you don’t seem to realize that your underlying point is not in fact the point here. It’s your technique, or lack thereof, in making your point that is being criticized.
I asked for some feedback. You shot me down. Put up, or shut up and get your bad faith bullshit out of here.
