And therein lies the problem, you and a lot of people like you, genuinely can't differentiate life and politics
the problem is precisely that for us politics has a practical effect on our daily lives. we have to worry about it, and talk about it, because if we simply let things go we get absolutely fucked
good for you that your current condition makes you immune to even moderate sways in the political environment. that is not the case for millions of people, even the majority of them
some forms of autocracy can be more evil than some forms of capitalism is the worst sin.
where i live a family of people born among the poorest 10% would take an average of nine generations to reach the middle class. nine. even ignoring the generational part, that's about 20 million people condemned, by birth, to a life of deep poverty, lacking even the most basic goods such as food and housing. and we're officially considered a "middle income" country.
all, and i mean all AES states solved this problem either completely or nearly so by giving people decent jobs, education, health care and housing
so yea it's impossible for me to not find you people absolutely ridiculous when you talk shit about said states just because they "arrested too many citizens" or didn't allow enough fucking free speech. you can rip my fucking tongue off if it means i don't have to see my people getting fucked on a daily basis
i've always thought the decline of capitalism, or even just the accumulation of its downturns, had the consequence of people trusting authorities less than they used to, and that scientists just get thrown in the same bag ("people who mess with this convoluted stuff as if they know what they're doing and just keep making my life worse")
