While a large part of the population is mislead about capitalism or benefitting from the system themselves, I think you'll find your sentiments are shared by many. Especially here on Lemmy.

This system sucks.

But yeah, our media is so fully captured by corporate interests that any proposal tooooo socialist is promptly demonised.

Oh those profits from our minerals? Nahhhh the foreign companies deserve that. Can't have a mining tax.

Breaking up monopolies? Nahhhh that's practically communism (despite competition being part of capitalism's rhetoric)

Big sad :(

At least Trump will likely secure us another term without an LNP majority government hehe

Aldi is a nice way to save, but, their fresh food selection is pretty meh, and often not great quality (as in, going mouldy fast, I don't care about how they look).

I usually pair going to Aldi and an Asian supermarket

This is shockingly low. I would have thought more like 60%

40??

My lordy we're so screwed haha

Edit: turns out you've accidentally swapped the numbers

My original comment was exaggerated, but essentially the same.

I haven't been on Reddit in years

You're very grumpy, hope you're going alright mate, I shall leave you to it.

UwU

We at least need to right the stupid mistake of shipping off our resources and getting barely any of the profit.

We should have nationalised our mines decades ago.

Why is the right wing constantly searching for some outrage to manufacture? It's been their playbook now for like 150 years, at least.

Huge cars with terrible visibility should have been outlawed ages ago anyway. There's no good reason for someone's bonnet to come up to my shoulders on a fucking ute.

There's a reason why the road toll is going UP per capita in the US.

As much as it sucks for the Americans, there is a small part of me that's happy about Trump shooting themselves in their own collective foot, because maybe we'll consider diversifying our alliances a little. Instead of being America's little ~~laptop~~ lapdog.

Supply is at least part of the solution. Just we need way more of it. And way less of this short-sighted, inefficient, isolating, detached housing sprawl.

I'd put forward all new complexes be made x% public housing, that would put a dent in the problem, and also reduce stigma to public housing, because it'll be everywhere, and people are integrated into the community, not shoved all in one, under-maintained spot.

While I am massively pro human centric transpiration (walkable cities, bicycle infrastructure, public transport), this take makes no sense.

Cars have their place, for certain deliveries, disabled people, emergency services.

Cars are unsafe at any speed, but we can't just get them off the road tomorrow. We need to stop over funding more road projects and instead plow it into overhauling our infrastructure.

Bob and Betty citizen living in the outer suburbs because we keep building detached houses can't afford to not drive. There's no bloody train.

More trains, more apartments (with better Owners Corporation laws), more bike lanes.

Bit by bit, we can take the cars off the road.

This ban is garbage because hate speech is already illegal.

If you're a Nazi "protesting" outside a synagogue, yeah off to jail you go, no new laws required.

This is anti-protest, pure and simple.
