Huh…just realized that Austin Powers’ chest hair is in the shape of a penis.
I never noticed that, either. Intentional or not, it’s on-brand.
What distro is this?
Especially when someone blames capitalism for something which has been a problem since the dawn of humanity, and if anything, has improved under capitalism.
Care to share a representative xample?
I am afraid we are way past that point, it is more like a discussion between should we kill all billionaires or just -force redistribute their wealth or not draw 25 cards
What relation this has with capitalism? Are you trying to claim capitalism created wealth concentration and reduced class mobility?
Because that’s exactly what the OP is about.
It isn’t about what evil capitalism created. It’s about what evil capitalism has enabled to be perfected at scale.
I swear it’s like people want to be serfs.
serfs
Ironic…
You use exactly the word that capitalism deprecated.
My choice of words isn’t accidental, and you seem to have spotted the irony without appreciating its flavor.
The abundance of overconfident one-line retorts and trendy slang make me think people’s major source of knowledge here is memes.
Well if it weren’t for capitalism you wouldn’t have to complain about Lemmy complaining about it…
You know what can REALLY be a bit much sometimes?
It’s Capita-
The capitalists got him, guys
Really? Advertising Sprite on Lemmy?? A Coca Cola Company product??? Keep your capitalism out of here! /s
You have heard of commodification of capitalism criticism now get ready for commodification of criticism of capitalism criticism

Things will change once Elon shuts down reddit or buys it.
Hopefully piefed or mbin will be more mature by then and keep redditors away.
… that’s not how the fediverse works. You’d have to move to an instance that doesn’t federate with whatever instances (regardless of whether those are Lemmy or Piefed or Mbin instances) the redditors flock to.
That’s easier to do if they all flock to those alternatives.
A bit much, like the artificially inflated prices of everything?
Can we not? Like of all the shit to defend…
Not wanting to hear constant complaints about something does not equate to defending or endorsing that thing.
For example, you likely wouldn’t want to have a roommate constantly complain about their diarrhea after they eat dairy. You asking them to not constantly update you about their shit doesn’t mean you are defending diarrhea. Most people don’t want to be subjected to constant complaints about something they don’t have the authority/ability to change.
The alternative is normalization of capitalism and the status quo, which is already very much the case in most of society. People are constantly dying and suffering because of capitalism, the bare minimum is constant critique.
How many more memes until capitalism collapses? Roughly.
Without capitalism you never would have made this meme!
We can appreciate a system for how it has developed the productive forces but determine its time is up… or whatever I can’t help myself I’m sorry
