I don't know where you people get this concept. Humans are the issue, not capitalism. There's literally no functioning system of trade without capitalism. It's just human nature. We are greedy and we want more than others so that we feel secure in our own future. It's not fucking rocket scientist, and it's not fucking capitalism.

Do you really Envision a world where everyone works equally and gets paid equally and nobody makes extra profit but somehow people are happy? That doesn't sound like any of the humans I've ever known, even the nice ones. You need to be a little bit more realistic and get your childish ass out of the playground.

We couldn't even get people to wear masks to not kill each other and you're over here holding your breath for agapelandia lmao

You can't make long ass statements like this witbout even reading the reasons cited in the article through government data.

The cost of living is a capitalist concept.

No, it isn't. Lol

There are fundamental costs to human survival and those costs must be borne out somewhere. Hunter/gatherers also had a cost of living.

The rising disparity in wealth is a result of capitalism.

The cost of living is so high because we're funneling as much money as possible to as few people as possible.

Every day it gets worse, and this is by design.

Disparity in wealth does not impact cost of living. That's nonsensical.

[-] bobman@unilem.org 2 points 1 year ago

Wow. I'm sorry you believe that.

Either you're trolling or woefully ignorant about the world around you. Either way, I can't communicate with people like you.

You need more life experience.

Goodbye.

There are no casual factors between wealth disparity and cost of living, and if anything an extreme enough wealth disparity lowers cost of living - serfs had a very low cost of living.

Not sure why you felt the need to insult me, but I assure you I need no further life experience to recall historical facts

Animals foraging resources in nature is capitalism mannnnn

The things people choose to believe never cease to amaze me.

It’s just human nature. We are greedy and we want more than others so that we feel secure in our own future.

you're projecting your own terrible views here, not stating universal fact

and it’s not fucking capitalism.

There are innumerable functioning systems of trade without capitalism. My point is capitalism is intrinsically violent and wasteful. War is profit. But there ARE mutualist, communalist, and voluntary approaches to labor as well just to name a few. I also have to point out that the gold standard in the case of USD is effectively maintained by a obscenely expansive worldwide military presence which can't be a good thing long term and how about that ongoing pandemic we don't talk about? How long can we as species get away with ignoring the real, big, systemic problems? Capitalism is NOT fixing them, and won't. Regardless you're real mistaken, I don't envision some perfect world, dont accuse me of naivety- I'm a tired, jaded anarchist, not a communist. Anyways I am truly sorry you've only ever known assholes.. I'm not holding my breath for anything just speaking my mind, and maybe I change someone's, at least I tried

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
