I remember when capitalists first claimed this idea. It was seen as ridiculous, but then got pushed through. So maybe it’s something that you’ve been conditioned to or grown up with accepting as the way things are.

I don’t think evil is part of the human condition.

Humans have complex language, and are capable of learning, adjusting behaviour, and building culture over time.

Capitalism is a system that teaches and enforces greed and exploitation. It’s natural for endpoint is the destruction of our environment and the enslavement of humanity.

But if we lived under a different system that was not capitalism and instead fostered sustainable, egalitarianism, while also allowing us to cooperatively build technology to improve our lives, I believe this is something that we could build a culture around. It’s not that we’re pre-programmed a certain way and always destined to fall into the same trap…. Just when you create and enforce a system that expects infinite growth within a finite system, that forces people to compete over and hoard resources then of course you’re going to get greed, exploitation, and eventually collapse.

Another world and another way of being is possible if we build it over time.

Ok to be fair… You may come as long as you’re a queer / trans baddie or if your name is Luigi, or take the “death to America” pledge. 😌

Boycott the USA. Do not consume American products. Do not travel to the US. Cancel your subscriptions, find alternatives or pirate their software and media. Make Americans tourists feel unwelcome.

Public housing, natural forests, community gardens. Abolish golf.

Golf courses take up more land than is used for sustainable energy. They take up huge amounts of water, poison the land with pesticides, reduce biodiversity, and are used by rich parasites only.

Because he’s funding fascism, he assumes anyone against his agenda must be “funded” by someone. He can’t comprehend that someone would be against living in a dystopian fascist hellhole without being paid.
