As if misogyny is a new thing that came along with capitalism. Women have been second-class citizens for most of recorded history. While they’re still not on par with men, if anything it has improved in the modern, capitalist world.
Despite the nazis being fascists, somehow it’s not their fault, it’s actually capitalism that’s at fault.
Lemmy search isn’t very good, but I’ve replied to a bunch of Lemmy posts over the last while where the argument is basically that capitalism is the worst possible system. They seem to be unaware of just how brutal and awful life was under Manorialism / Feudalism. They seem to equate every modern ill with capitalism, even when it’s something that was 1000x worse under say fascism.
I thought that had more to do with the rise in misogyny from men looking to blame something that isn’t capitalism. I would say the the issue is more complicated then capitalism, but capitalism is definitely a major factor.
Look at just the advertisements in mainstream culture. Ads designed for men appeal to masochism, but modern society, or at least the white collar work that society tells men they want, has no need for manliness. You get this glitch in people’s minds and men fall into a Man-o-sphere spiral. It’s actually stunning how actuate Fight Club predicted types like Trump and Tate. Only real issue with Fight Club is that Tyler Durden had to have believable charisma. His real life counter parts have the charisma is a wet paper bag.
Hunger. What other form of economic system has kept people this fed? All communist countries have had famines mass killing their population.
The dust bowl ran a few thousand deaths in America compared to Mao’s famine killing millions, Soviet famines killing millions every couple decades, the '90s North Korean famine killed God knows how many people. Americans get fed dogshit slop, but they don’t starve.
Care to share a representative xample?

It’s kind of hard to critique communism when capitalism declares war against every instance that sprouts up
Mao was an idiot tho
Greed. Violence. Self-interest. In vs. Out groups. Shall I go on?
