But what’s your point? Are people making $60k/year causing world hunger through artificial scarcity or is it the greed and mental illness of the capitalist class?

Tankies aren’t leftists. Tankies are fascists.

Nintendo Power would disagree

Jesus Christ this thread is full of people who don’t realize they’re the judging hipster in the post.

Ubuntu isn’t the entry level distro that you move on from once you’ve gotten your feet wet, and your not very subtle pats on your own backs for using something different aren’t earned.

Does it do everything the user needs from it? If so, don’t tell them that they need to “graduate” to a “better” flavor.

Or Ubuntu could perform every task they need it to and never switch to anything else.

Braver than most western journalists, who regurgitate the corporatocracies narrative and manufacture consent on their behalf.

True

Hopefully she’s given a good job and granted asylum somewhere in the west ASAP, so she can go on with her life.

What?

Not everyone of course but there’s way too many people over there who will justify anything the Chinese government does or just ignore criticism by saying, “what about what the US does?!!?!”

How they cannot understand that the US and China are both dystopian hellscapes is embarrassing.

There are very little, if any, benefits to using a VPN service to browse the public internet.

This is why it’s often best to just avoid the comments completely

It would take a super genius to understand that they’re either a non-native English speaker or made a simple typo/autocorrect issue. Also, since it’s completely impossible to even guess at the point they’re trying to make through the context of every other word in their comment we all owe you a debt of gratitude for calling this out!

Thank you, [email protected], for adding something incredibly meaningful to the conversation and the world as a whole!

Oh no… I just saw this comment in a different thread from 2 hours ago, and it MAKES NO SENSE:

Doctors today face a demand form their services that, while we can’t guarantee will get them.jigher wages, can give them more leeway against unwritten political rules of speech.

What is a doctor’s “demand form?” And “them.jigher” isn’t a term I could find anywhere on the internet! I don’t understand what the author, [email protected], was trying to say! It’s all just gibberish!

I feel good calling it out though. I’m sure that [email protected] will be grateful for my much-needed help and not think I’m a dick for detracting from their point to assert my knowledge of English grammar over them.

Neat, there’s a second epilogue update in the game that I can’t get past the second level.

On the contrary, if another pandemic killed a bunch of people, many of their homes would be bought up by the same hungry corporations that created and perpetuate the housing crisis.

Thank you for the explanation. It’s a term I’ve only seen recently and I’ve waited a little while to see if I could figure it out by context but that hadn’t happened yet.

Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug and therefore “more dangerous and prone to abuse” than fucking prescreption meth. I’m not going to put much weight into drug classifications written largely by companies that stand to profit from their own and their competition’s standing.

What is a gift link?

Removed by mod

I’ve blocked exactly one person on Lemmy and it’s Yothgos or whatever the fuck their name is. They’re either a propagandist in China or just a very sad person who posts prolifically about how amazing China is, dismissing any criticism against it. It’s weird, sad, and annoying seeing them pop up in any thread about China. I assume they have or will pop in this thread but I don’t know as they’re blocked.

You can’t fix the problems caused by capitalism with capitalism. Those homeless people employed by that beautiful company in your made up example don’t have a home because companies and the governments they write the laws for value profit over human life. Homelessness is overwhelmingly a mentally health issue which becomes an addiction issue, but here in the US all health care, much less mental health care, is a for-profit venture. And the open market that you seem to respect so much has made renting and home ownership unattainable for countless millions.

You sound like everyone else who believes everything they learned in econ 101, that capitalism rights itself because it’s in people’s best interests to do so. You’re out of touch with the reality of so many peoples lives, and you only emphasized it with your fantasy about “good capitalism.” You can blame all of Lemmy or all the “brainwashed” people who tell you how far your perception of reality is skewed, but I hope you can continue learning about what life is like for people who don’t have your privilege or luck and are moved to reconsider your stance.

Greed and lack of empathy

That’s what keeps capitalism humming along. It’s why a few people own most of everything and the “lucky” Americans will be forced to work until they die. What point were you trying to make when you attempted to correct them by saying that’s not capitalism?

This is the correct answer
