    Stop blaming capitalism - people are the problem, not the systems they create.

    The average person is a fucking retard and that’s not changing - when they reach a space, it goes to shit.

      This self-loathing bullshit is way too common.

      People aren’t the problem, the average person is average, the system is what drives down the average mental and emotional intelligence instead of up, and humanity is filled with plenty of people like Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, and Harriet Tubman.

      “People” are okay. They’re just suffering under the boots of a small group of people who are not.

      As long as we’re blaming something instead of coming up with a new system of distributing goods and services.

      I think a problem is that different people have different meanings attached to the word capitalism

      when some people hear it they think of trillionares exploiting homeless people, but when I hear it I think of private property and markets and competition

      Im chill with the 2ed meaning, as long as it doesnt get out of control (like nowadays)
