[+] Aux@feddit.uk -11 points 1 year ago (1 child) How's that relevant? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 year ago* (2 children) Hes saying that everyone single person who upvoted this post would have to convince millions of people each to stand a chance against the financial power that is held by billionaires. Rich people love when idiots think that they can change the world by doing purely individualistic stuff. Even if you convince hundreds of people it wont change their margins by even 0.001%. Believing that markets have built in course correction that cant be completely dominated and steered by rich people is the biggest lie in the world. Do individualistic stuff anyways, because every improvement matters and it might make you happy. But know that it requires more than that to make a significant difference. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RedstoneValley@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago Also every movement starts small. It might not matter much on an individual level but you gotta start somewhere. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Aux@feddit.uk -8 points 1 year ago (1 child) Works well here in Europe. You've been blinded by Trump & Co propaganda. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) No it doesnt, i have lived in Europe my whole life and its just as corrupt. The fucking german chancellor is a criminal involved in a huge tax evasion fraud. All big industries are friends with people in power and get huge amounts of taxes for no reason. As soon as a large company like VW loses money, they are bailed out with your taxes to keep it from going bankrupt. You can stop giving them your money, but the government will just do it for you by redirecting your taxes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 point 1 year ago I don't understand you people. When you argue about where in the world there is least corruption, or where the wealth inequality is worst etc... Why don't any one of you look up the facts? Why both just bla bla whine bla argue bla debate for hours and nobody check the stats. Nobody cares about looking up the truth. Why? You could have a discussion about why x or y has more wealth inequality, expand the human understanding maybe, but you engage in some perverted yapping contest instead? Waste of time imo. permalink fedilink source parent
