And many physical health problems are also a direct result of capitalism
It might be because the moon is falling in 3 days.
Which… I guess is due to capitalism (Happy Mask Salesman peddling Majora’s Mask) or maybe the male loneliness epidemic (Skull Kid has no friends).
The investors that run all the shops in Hyrule have determined that they can use the male loneliness epidemic to redirect mens anger towards women, and then towards other minorities, so that they don’t start getting angry at the capitalists.
if it’s only “lately” then it can’t be capitalism
It’s very convenient that the explanation for a complex series of problems is reducible to just ‘capitalism’. Isn’t it like saying WWI only started because of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand?
You sound like someone who’s on the winning side of capitalism and you can’t comprehend how capitalism is making most people suffer.
And you sound like someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly about people and you can’t comprehend someone not having a reductionist take on generalised human suffering.
I don’t think anyone here is denying people suffer from capitalism, i think they’re just saying capitalism is a factor rather than the only cause, similar to how the Archduke’s assassination was a factor among many in starting WW1.
This is Lemmy, where if you even hint at saying “It’s not just Capitalism”, you’ll be downvoted into oblivion.
Don’t you know how happy everyone has always been under communist and socialist governments? Not a single sad soul to be seen under those establishments! /s
He doesn’t have to be on the winning side as long as the capitalists (that own all the news media) can convince him that he is.
It feels really gaslighting/dismissive to read things like this. Why is it that people who talk about concepts like capitalism assume a bunch of information about you based on a complete lack of information? Is the idea the only reason I’m not anti capitalist must either be because a) I’m rich (extremely far from the truth), or b) I’m especially susceptible to propaganda? (Which would be weird… Otherwise why would I be using Lemmy in the first place when perhaps capitalism instead suggests I should be using Reddit).
My opinion: It kind of sucks to reduce people down like this lol. Am I insane for thinking this
Alright, here’s your last question. What was the cause of the Civil War?
Actually, there were numerous causes. Aside from the obvious schism between abolitionists and anti-abolitionists, economic factors, both domestic and international-
Hey, hey!
Yeah?
Just say slavery.
Slavery it is, sir.
The civil war has a clearly dominant causal factor that historians overwhelmingly agree upon. Modern socio economic issues don’t have that same level of single cause consensus. That’s why boiling everything down to ‘capitalism’ is overly reductive
americans need to learn to replace capitalism with america
stop externalising your inputs
Why not both?
there are plenty of capitalist countries doing just fine
The problem is capitalism
What’s your opinion on NATO?
The main reason why Europe didn’t get invaded
Yeah, if it weren’t for NATO making EU subservient to the US, it would have been invaded by them.
They appear to be focused on capitalist Russia
I don’t like to make assumptions, I wait for them to answer so I can judge their sincerity.
it looks kinda like you’re calling them a tankie
No, questions don’t call things.
Do you think you’re an intellectually dishonest person?
Does me seperating tankies from the rest of us upset you? Are you trying to make it easy for authoritarians to blend in?
Whats your opinion on NATO?
But of course you’re “just asking questions” and not accusing me of any of that.
-
Loaded question. Your accusation was prompted by their criticism of capitalism, not because there was any evidence to suggest they’re a tankie.
-
No, I just don’t like baseless accusations from the guy who concern trolls for capitalism in every thread.
-
It’s defending the world from Russian aggression, despite both sides being capitalist. Not everyone who is upset by intellectual dishonesty is a tankie.
