Deep down, it's wild to know that humanity's peak was ultimately undone by less than 1% of the population convincing everyone else that greed is good.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Don't "Eat the Rich". Use them for fertilizer, and solve two problems at once

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But we can solve three problems at once if we eat the rich then use our own excrement as fertilizer.

Humans have always been greedy

Not at all. We've averted crisis'before. We've even created a middle class with heavy taxes on the wealthy for a better society. The greedy have been working the powerful and are sabotaging everything for short term gain.

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.

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.
