@Rod85928236@stuartshakesby@DanielPriestley Coercion through the manufactured consumption required to keep it expanding.
If I get enough of what I need I can get outcompeted, pushed out, or bought out by someone who wants more because their business requires further expansion through manufactured consumption.
@Rod85928236@stuartshakesby@DanielPriestley It also creates coercion
And cooperation is a necessity of an organized society not something inherently or solely produced by "capitalism"
@ruicharadrius It's passive genocide or genocide lite.
When ppl speak like this they somehow don't see how easily they can become that "2%" they decry.
@GaltsJustice Haa e your own mode of being and if that fits in the majority I guess you win einn but at the grander scale we're humans and we shoot for the stars so... reach for something grander and hope that our wishes become transformative to us.
@GaltsJustice Moral or self-licensing has been a thing I've grappled with determining for the last 8 yrs or discerning. How can I square " Rules for me but not 4 thee that happens every moment of human life, you have to make a decision.
From judges to cops (bricks/ minifigs/ relig. cultures.
@GaltsJustice Expectations and living vicariously through others, treating them as an object instead of as a subject, either their own intentionality or agenda.
@fourdayzoff@laralogan If you think life is a competition we couldn't agree on anything in that realm.
I'd rather humans cooperate than compete with each other.
Again, no matter your choices if you have the worst hand in life, it doesn't matter what choices you make, you automatically "lose."
@beerswithboggs@DefiantLs I have personal experience with this and to add, the idea of mutual ownership breaks down at scale because of cliques and blocks of ppl plotting against each other within the co-op to wield power and have control, you end with the same dictatorship of a small group of elites.
@fourdayzoff@laralogan Thing is some ppl get bad hands and never get to turn their luck around no matter what they do and they still get told they should've made better choices, it's asinine to group everyone together and say choices are what made the difference.
@19MercuryMan69@ClownWorld I got certified for a forklift without even knowing how to use one. They just gave me 15 minutes to figure it out then I took the test and got certified.
It's as "skilled" as working at a waffle house.
