Ah but have you considered just how much capital has been accumulated and concentrated in fewer and fewer hands?

It's working in getting more people a lot of money which they will never spend and simply hoard because for some reason this is what defines success

Well if by working you mean making rich people richer then yes it's definitely working

What do you mean there's no competition?! Do you not get to choose between normal and chocolate milk?

Checkmate commies!

No brother. We are the 6th mass extinction. This is just another phase.

It doesn't matter to the rich if they can make more money. "Is the world going to shit in 2050? Until then we are already dead after a long life full of comforts, screw the rest, including our children." Shit from greedy parasites which rule the world, applauded and voted for by subnormals who don't even know how to piss a hole in the snow without a manual.

Capitalist countries aren't the worst polluters, though. It's places like Iraq, Chad, and Pakistan. China and India also throw out some heinous shit and have way too many people.

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 11 months ago

How are Iraq, Chad, Pakistan and India not capitalist?
