It's worth noting that this applies to most people, not just the ones "at the top".

Huh, I wonder if Capitalism is a systemic issue and perhaps incentivizes greed

[-] kakes@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

I don't know about you, but I'm not about to be the guy to say that people are only greedy under capitalism.

[-] fauxerious@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

So proud of you and your reading comprehension

[-] kakes@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

Thank you, I'm likewise proud of you for your ability to patronize.

You think THAT'S patronizing? Then check THIS out:

Capitalism incentivizes greed ≠ greed doesn't exist outside of capitalism.

pats on head and speaks very slowly

Do you understand now or do you want me to get out the puppets?

I could explain my point, but I can tell you're more interested in role-playing as a daycare worker, so I won't interrupt your fun.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I could explain my point

No need. There's literally no possible meaning of "don't say greed doesn't exist outside of capitalism" (when nobody has claimed anything of the sort) that is a good point rather than a ridiculous strawman, so best skip it.
