  Ah, the existential bliss of being in the bottom third of the food chain.

  If you listen to the people on Lemmy, everything is incompatible with capitalism. So do we cower in the corner and hope the problems away?

  The amount of death and destruction attributable to all nuclear accidents since we figured out fission is barely statistically significant when compared to fossil fuel consumption.

  Regulatory agencies can and do keep accidents from happening. Not always, because people are both stupid and corrupt. But mostly.

  Capitalism isn’t going away any time soon. Maybe in a post fusion world, we’ll cross the threshold of post-scarcity too. Until that happens, we do the best we can with the tools at our disposal.

  You could make the same argument about literally anything. Capitalism caused the 737Max disasters. You want to give up planes?

  Nice strawman you got there. Get it on sale?

  You really think that in 2024 - a time when not even school children are expected to print out reports because everything is submitted digitally - the fact that photo printer paper not being ubiquitous reflects literally anything other than we’ve mostly moved past paper as a society?

  I’m not saying reddit is better - it clearly is not - but ask yourselves why Lemmy is so absolutely shit at applying Occam’s Razor to their own biases?
