I just wish we had a bit more political balance here... I'm not talking about fascists, but more people that don't blame everything on capitalism would be kind of nice...

[Entire world on fire] "I just wish everyone wasn't so fixated on discussing the fire, how it started and who's responsible..."

You have to realize how mesmerizingly obtuse your comment is?

Lol. Yes, I'm obtuse. You aren't, but I am. Great argument.

Too late, capitalism is the problenz

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 minutes ago

Yes, it is. But it's not the only problem... In fact, there are a thousand other problems I wish we could all discuss with at least half the fervor as this topic.

But no. This is the topic.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I wonder what else is to blame ?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 7 minutes ago

Human nature? Greed? Racism? Biggotry?

There's an upsetting number of topics... And now I'm depressed. Because life is depressing when you think about it too much, isn't it?

Sorry this is a platform for people of you're an ostrich then please go back to sticking your head in the sand

I'm not Dee Renolds, but you may think of me as such, if it makes the world feel safer for you.

If nearly everything currently wrong with the country weren't due to capitalism run amok I could sympathize. But unfortunately it's not the 1960s anymore.

(segregation was a legacy of capital interests pushing race theory to justify slavery)

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 24 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Not trying to get into a whole ugly thing, just curious what your pro-capitalism stance is. Because I would definitely fall into this big Lemmy category of seeing 90-905% of modern problems being rooted in capitalism. So I would (civilly!) disagree, no doubt. Doesn’t mean we can’t have a reasonable discussion!

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 12 minutes ago* (last edited 12 minutes ago)

LOL. I'm not pro-capitalism, but thank you for proving my point.

I actually think, as one example, the US's healthcare system should 100% be socialized.

[–] lengau@midwest.social 4 points 1 hour ago

I would also be interested in a defence of capitalism that doesn't come down to "but the USSR" or similar.
