Yup. Look at healthcare. Doctor’s and nurses, in general, really do care about their patients, and helping people. So naturally health care organizations see that and then try to exploit them for profit. That’s why wages have stayed stagnant despite the massive increase in profits
Same with education.
How true. FOSS is a good example, but also the social sector.
Indeed, not things governed by capitalism
Oh, so you’ve read my resume?
Tipping for into this as well.
True and real.
Under capitalism if you got no capital, you are an expendable resource.
If you care about people outside of your immediate in group, you are in for a hard ride.
Grifting is the MO, protect yourself first. You can’t fight the system until you achieve a degree of economic freedom to actually operate.
Political structure is completely captured.
Decentralized and asymmetric approach is the only option left but vast majority of the slave force are unwilling to do proper opposition.
I’m in this and I don’t like it.
“Under capitalism” is such a weird phrase. At what point exactly, specifically, does one become not under capitalism?
When capitalism doesn’t exist. Theoretically people who care about people wouldn’t be taken advantage of by people who care about money.
I disagree that people aren’t evil, though. However, I do also understand that evil isn’t exactly tangible.
def. Liberals:
now if this person doesn’t need violence to the face idk who does
