Imagine how depressing it is to think that capitalism is the peak of humanity achievements.

I think it’s even worse tbh…

It’s basically misanthropy. These people have such low opinion and expectations from humanity that they believe capitalism is perfect, humans are awful. All issues in the world are due to humans being awful.

And any other system, like socialism, would exacerbate the shitty human nature even more.

We have to be THANKFUL capitalism was invented. If it wasn’t for capitalism we’d all be slaver rapists, or something.

So thank you Capitalism, thank you 🙏

Ehhh... I think you're right, I've heard that before.

This is how narrow-minded people see the world. Nevertheless, we need to reach to the stars, both technically and socially. Let show it to these people!

There is a fair number of people who are operating under the assumption that any and all commerce is capitalism. If you buy something, you must be a capitalist!

It isn't, but that seems to be a very common assumption.
