well, then go troll someone else. blocked.

I find your comment highly condescending. Care to elaborate?

I can see why you would think that. I think this video explains it well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDPPig9JR5Y.

TL;DW: Capitalism in it’s true form was “I give you this, you give me that”. Exchange of goods. And from that perspective, it has worked. But now that nobody sells stuff anymore but holds you or the goods you want hostage, it has devolved back to the old system of feudalism where you live somewhere and the king asks for your work and money so you can live there.

I’m not saying thats the only way to look at it but I find the explanation pretty good. It would explain why so many people who are actually very good at trading things struggle in this climate now while others now thrive who have no clue how to produce viable products.

News break: capitalism is on its way out. Now we have tech feudalism (enshittification as a business model). Rejoice!

Although I appreciate your comment, I don’t think anything will come of it. There are too many other things that grab peoples attention. „Starve to stick it to the dems“ could be an unironical political slogan and people would do it. Same goes for „slave for the billionaires to become a billionaire yourself!“

The problem is that the general population is equally underequipped mentally as they are blinded by shiny stuff they‘ll never have.
