    Yes, capitalism is shitty. I will not say it’s a good system, just that it seems to be the least bad a large scale society has managed to implement. Large attempts to explicitly be anti-capitalist didn’t work out better than current day late stage capitalism by any metric I’m aware of.

    But all of that is irrelevant to the main point that saying there cannot be scammers because capitalism inherently makes all participants scammers is just incorrect.

      Jesus, I hate these arguments so much.

      Look at how well this works

      The planet is dying, majority of people are hungry, and only the lucky few are living their own utopia, while the rest gets fucked.

      And no, the ‘current system’ didn’t help people out of poverty, instead it robbed every developing nations of their future. And everyone else, too.

      I get that you said ‘we got nothing better to happen’, but why? US won the second war and pushed everyone to suck its dick. So like yeah, capitalism for everyone?
