I’m glad Lemmy once again shows how anticapitalist it is.

Tbh, this post only makes sense as anticapitalist satire. There’s no value in these statements when taking them at face value.
So of course people see it as what it is and engage exactly like that.

Believing these words is dumb, but making quotes about them is malevolent.

Multiplying money is easy when you already have money. Not an art.

“taking risks” is also a lot easier when there are no consequences for you.

Dabbling in stocks, I realised you need plenty of capital to have higher risk tolerance.

No, it’s luck despite the system.
No, also luck despite the system.
No, still luck despite the system.

That moment when you are so deep into capitalist shit you start making motivational quotes not about talent, morals or well-being, but about money.
You really need to reach a deep and pathetic level of stupidity to actually believe something like that

Extortion is an art?

I mean from a literary viewpoint this text is pretty well built, I’ve almost believed it for a moment.
