Imagine how depressing it is to think that capitalism is the peak of humanity achievements.

    I think it’s even worse tbh…

    It’s basically misanthropy. These people have such low opinion and expectations from humanity that they believe capitalism is perfect, humans are awful. All issues in the world are due to humans being awful.

    And any other system, like socialism, would exacerbate the shitty human nature even more.

    We have to be THANKFUL capitalism was invented. If it wasn’t for capitalism we’d all be slaver rapists, or something.

    So thank you Capitalism, thank you 🙏

    I guess it is realistic, if you consider exploding the whole world with nuclear weapons would mutate humanity into roving bands of psychopaths. I can see that happening. Nuclear and mutations and yada yada yada…

    Yeah…

    Or, or! If we all die, the lizid people can come out of their holes in safety. And those guys are for sure a bunch of psychopaths. I can see them making a Mad Max-esque world just out of fun. Like a huge theme park.

    There is a fair number of people who are operating under the assumption that any and all commerce is capitalism. If you buy something, you must be a capitalist!

    It isn't, but that seems to be a very common assumption.
