An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

And who created capitalism? Humans. Checkmark atheists
Capitalism started ~500 years ago in Europe. It did not come from humanity as a whole, yet you would condemn everyone on Earth to die because of that?
How about instead of this childish take on reality, we realise that it's a system that can easily be dismantled and we don't have to kill 8 billion people.
No matter what system you use, humans will ultimately ruin it. Regardless of how many it takes to ruin it. Throughout history, long before capitalism, every and all systems eventually fail when put against humans
Is it your recommendation that we continue to destroy our resources (and thus ourselves) while making no attempt to improve the situation?
My recommendation is to do what you can personally and then not let it ruin your life. I moved my house to offgrid, I'm fully solar for my electric I don't use any gas and I don't burn wood I just built enough solar and Battery to be fully electric.
In the process of finishing up rainwater collection and filtration to cover my water needs luckily I live somewhere with a good amount of rainfall that I should be able to pretty much fully cover my water might need a little bit of groundwater to fill the gaps here and there but not much.
I do drive a car but it's a tiny little smart fortwo, i can fit two of them in a standard parking spot and they get over 40 miles to the gallon. Absolutely everything in my kitchen from my plates to my cups to my bowls to my utensils are all stainless steel so no generation of microplastics from them. I've done everything I realistically can to reduce my own footprint and I will vote in favor of improvement when it's possible and I will encourage others to do what they can as well. But I will ultimately accept that nothing will truly affect anything in the long run human greed will always ruin everything
Ok, doomer.
