If capitalism were as innovative as they make out
Why does this rub me up the wrong way? We literally live in an age of miracles, I have unlimited visual and audio based entertainment on Youtube, I have access to all of mankinds music on Spotify, the phone in your pocket is a trillion times more powerful than we used to send man to the moon, I am typing a message that will be read by multiple people on the other side of the world instantly, this used to take months and was written with pen and paper and before that it just didn’t happen, you would only communicate with the people within your village, work on a farm, and then die. In 2025 communist North Korea this is pretty much still the case.
The screen you’re looking at is most likely LED, which itself is a miracle

Plastic is a miracle, it has nearly infinite uses and capabilities, it is used nearly everywhere because it is so good, if it were a product would be one of the best selling items of all time.
We’re working on biodegradable plastic, sorry that the hard working scientists and people in R&D aren’t doing a good enough job, I’ll let them know that WolfmanEightySix is disappointed in them.

Yes, capitalist rhetoric has always been bullshit to get the working class to work against itself.
