I think its interesting that people in the west only realized the danger capitalism posed when it started affecting their weather, while the rest of the world has been filling graveyards for decades because of it.
Its almost like everyone knew the whole time.
You get punished in American schools for daring to suggest that maybe we shouldn’t be solely focused on grades and wages.
My first world living standards aren’t exactly a cruel system of oppression.
You’re not the one doing the oppression but everything we consume and many things we can and can’t do all stem from oppressive systems.
Like exploitation of the global South, exploitation from billionaires, the consequences of colonialism, bashing minorities and migrants, religious oppression, etc.
Our first world living standards are all built on the remnants and on current oppressive systems.I won’t even get started on how that’s not even true within the first world, but our first world conditions are built upon and kept alive by oppression of the third world/global south so yeah a cruel system of oppression is exactly what it is.
“the global South” oh like Australia, New Zealand, South Africa?
we can spot from space, the africa sized hole in your shitty counter argument
I’m complaining about the crap term, not arguing
We could quite easily solve this global crisis by investing more.
In guillotines.
Is blahaj competing with lemmygrad and hexbear for the most extremist instance nowdays?
Is it not extremist to burn the world down for your 100th yatch, 700th second vacation estate, 4000th impluse buy car, 3rd private jet?
So we counter extreme bahvior with more extreme behavior? That’s the world you want to live in? Where people are executed for over-consumption?
Yeah no thanks. Views like this is why people vote for Trump and I don’t blame them.
So we counter extreme bahvior with more extreme behavior? That’s the world you want to live in?
Violence is not to be repaid in kind if rich people inflict it with the help of the government?
You’re naive if you think any kind of reasonable change can happen without bloodshed. The peace and stability you have grown up with and come to love was gotten with a lot of bloodshed.
That’s the world that’s created for us. That seems to be the only kind of action that’s moving the needle. Working within the system is an idea sold to chumps so they obstruct real change.
Putting a bullet into a bastard scares the rest of them so they at least slow down in their unquenchable lust for power and money.
