    Could you clarify on what you mean with “dealing with people”? I’m not really sure the point you’re trying to make with that

      The complaint that got blamed on capitalism was:

      The information age gave way for the misinformation age, where everything is fake.

      and if there’s one entity/person most responsible for that, it’s Putin or the GOP. Most of it is political, and very little to do with capitalism itself. Except that capitalism surrounds and is intertwined with everything.

      Still, if you get rid of capitalism, it doesn’t get rid of politics. I’d argue that the root of the issue is the GOP trying to hoard power (money and otherwise), and power is going to exist with or without capitalism. Is North Korea capitalist? Do they have issues with disinfo?

      This Christian Sharia Law movement doesn’t exist for money.

        Capitalism itself is political. But the point I was making was that capitalism was the driving force of enshittenfication of all our technology that could be used for helping us all but instead it’s only about profit. Which is capitalism…
