Ah man… Alright. I usually hate the anti-capitalism shit on Lemmy, but this one is accurate for corporate America right now. It does fucking suck.
hate the anti-capitalism shit
Fetch the salt and pepper, folks. It’s time to dine.
I mean I live in a capitalist country with none of that shit. Google social democracy might learn something
Most of the anti-capitalism stuff on Lemmy has nothing to do with Capitalism and everything to do with humans being greedy. Anyone who thinks there’s a path to evenly distributing the wealth is an idiot because even people who advocate for that will end up finding ways to hoard more wealth for themselves if they get the chance. It’s the way we’ve always been and the way capitalism and socialism always turn out.
That’s a lot of speculation and zero evidence. Regardless, selfishness and cooperation aren’t mutually exclusive.
Um…welcome? It’s nice to have you with us!🏴🏴🏴
“Unfair” is an offensive understatement. We’re swindled like cattle and the more vulnerable you are, the more you are exploited. I’m not even sure where the break-even point of “fair” is where your efforts compound for the better rather than for the worse. Anyone below 2million is probably facing a nasty uphill battle with the system unless they are lucky or have connections.
God bless us all
The function of a system is determined by its output.

It’s the “dying because you’re penniless” part people have trouble with.

When people use “dying penniless”, the “because you’re” is implied outside of the specific context of someone who is not penniless discussing what inheritance they’ll leave to their heirs.
Literally, the ONLY time I have ever heard it used in any other way, is when directly preceeded by “although wealthy, they dedicated the rest of their life trying to give away their fortune, and died penniless” and the implication is they were happy about that because they were trying to.
And that’s happened what, like 6 times in human history? (hyperbole for mild comedic effect, pls no lectures)
I don’t know how the other guy can see “died penniless” and think “good for them, can’t take it with you!”
