  • Yeah, well, capitalism’s propaganda is working boat loads better, hence so many idiots defending it

    Fwiw, I think we should have a capitalist system with hard caps on net Worth. Anything over 10M goes straight to taxes. Nobody should be able to get more than X % of all the votes, ever. Govt regulates legislation on products, safety, etc, for consumers.

    This way we get the best of capitalism (free trade, basically), nobody gets too rich, nobody gets too powerful, and the government has a huge income for a giant socialist system with free healthcare, free education, free transportation, free housing, ubi, you name it.

    Governments can sponsor independent journalism financing institutions that can in turn finance real independent journalism that can keep everyone honest

    If nobody is too powerful, if everyone is honest and well informed, nobody can start a war over bullshit reasons anymore

    I’ve never heard anyone say that about climate change, really.

    Those that agree with facts know it’s a thing and really would love to see it go, but what can we do? We’re not politicians, we’re not rich, we’re not powerful.

    We’re separating our plastics and paper and what not, we try to avoid the car, we use public transportation, bicycles… But what are we supposed to do? We cannot fix this, er cannot stop this.

    Just saying “boomers don’t care” is a bullshit statement. In not a boomer, but I know enough of them. Just saying that it’s all the boomers fault is easy enough but it won’t solve anything.

    Start at least blaming politicians and the rich. They’re the ones that got us here, they’re the ones that keep is here
