    Also, many physical health problems are also a direct result of capitalism

  It might be because the moon is falling in 3 days.

  Which… I guess is due to capitalism (Happy Mask Salesman peddling Majora’s Mask) or maybe the male loneliness epidemic (Skull Kid has no friends).

    The investors that run all the shops in Hyrule have determined that they can use the male loneliness epidemic to redirect mens anger towards women, and then towards other minorities, so that they don’t start getting angry at the capitalists.

  if it’s only “lately” then it can’t be capitalism

    Surely the economic wellbeing of your average citizen can’t get worse over time and therefore be a “lately” thing. It’s not like food, housing, and healthcare are getting more expensive.

    Regardless of whether we think capitalism is good or not, it’s gone into overdrive since the fall of the Soviet Union. And whether or not we recognize this as capitalism, it’s been failing hard since the bailouts started.

    The economy we live in today is neither democratic nor competitive.

    I didn’t think I’d have to say this, but the conditions in which we exist are created by the system under which we exist. As Kamala said, you didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree.

    It also wasn’t just smooth sailing up to this point; capitalism suffers crises like these on a regular basis. For example, the 15 recessions just in the years between great depression (1929) and the COVID-19 pandemic (2020).

    A system is designed to do what it does. If it doesn’t do what the designers intended, it gets changed. Otherwise, it stays the same. You would think if these results were unintended, the system would have been changed by now.

    the moon probably perceives “lately” differently from humans since it is billions of years old

  It’s very convenient that the explanation for a complex series of problems is reducible to just ‘capitalism’. Isn’t it like saying WWI only started because of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand?

    You sound like someone who’s on the winning side of capitalism and you can’t comprehend how capitalism is making most people suffer.

    source

    • skye@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      And you sound like someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly about people and you can’t comprehend someone not having a reductionist take on generalised human suffering.

      I don’t think anyone here is denying people suffer from capitalism, i think they’re just saying capitalism is a factor rather than the only cause, similar to how the Archduke’s assassination was a factor among many in starting WW1.

      He doesn’t have to be on the winning side as long as the capitalists (that own all the news media) can convince him that he is.

    Alright, here’s your last question. What was the cause of the Civil War?

    Actually, there were numerous causes. Aside from the obvious schism between abolitionists and anti-abolitionists, economic factors, both domestic and international-

    Hey, hey!

    Yeah?

    Just say slavery.

    Slavery it is, sir.

    • Vincentmario@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      The civil war has a clearly dominant causal factor that historians overwhelmingly agree upon. Modern socio economic issues don’t have that same level of single cause consensus. That’s why boiling everything down to ‘capitalism’ is overly reductive

    Its literally the plot of the Good Place, there is no ethical and moral consumption under capitalism. We need a well regulated economy if we want the middle class to grow again, still not ethical but it would put food in my stomach.

    Probably fertilizer tbh, but capitalism always likes to steal the glory from technological progress, and claims to be freedom although nearly everyone is poor and forced to work for slave wages. Then capitalists point to the most authoritarian countries in history and say, see socialism sucks. Like no bro, Russia sucks, Russia has been a shit hole with every form of government they had, because they are authoritarians.

    Funny how capitalists always ignore the good socialist societies that are highly regulated free markets with strong workers and consumer protection laws and fairly high taxes and strong welfare states, but they ignore all the terrible capitalist societies all over the world. It’s a miracle that a capitalist economy isn’t a miserable shit hole, but that requires self awareness and actually researching and educating yourself, not listening to some dick in a 15,000 dollar suit, from a corporate funded think tank thats only job is to push capitalist propaganda, or distract people from realizing socialism is better.

    Yeah but it cant exist well regulated because of how it is. Then again humans suck so all systems have downsides.

      Yeah, if it weren’t for NATO making EU subservient to the US, it would have been invaded by them.
