I don't get the second part, what is it capitalism? It's s philosophy, in my opinion.
Capitalism is often sold as meritocracy, but this has proven to not be the case.
by any loose enough definition - coding is philosophy, music theory is philosophy, your food preferences are philosophy.
same for "system" "paradigm" and any other loose synonym
All Wikipedia pages lead to philosophy if you just keep clicking the first link in the page.
Not true, I’ve been on the main page for 10 minutes now and it’s just a loop.
Either loops or philosophy. IIRC to make it work you have to skip dates and numbers as well.
I think it's first link not italicized or in brackets perhaps? There definitely an additional rule that makes it always land.
I, who has written the comment, had the same feeling. I assure you that, being English not my mother tongue, was genuinely curious, but when I've seen the downvotes, I wanted to ask why, then I realized the I couldn't care less. If people feel attacked by a comment and they want to do a reprimand via downvotes let them do it.
Well, if it helps, some solar punk posts like this one go mainstream. I think there's only about 150 active solarpunk members so when a post gets close to 1000 votes that means non-community members are voting.
I've commented on solarpunk stuff that was mildly in capatlism defense (much more controversial than your question), and had great conversations/critisims with almost no downvotes. So I think/hope the downvotes are not from the core solarpunk community. It is still sad, but I would be much more sad if it happened and the main post only had 100 upvotes.
