Capitalism consumes everything.

It isn’t just “the government”, all Israeli citizens are participating in this genocide.

Elon Musk is a psychopathic white supremacist narcissist who gets high on ketamine and thinks he can bully workers into making whatever sci fi tech he’s read about into reality then lie to everyone about it’s capabilities.

Gravity Rush time.

If you see someone driving a Tesla the correct response is always to point and laugh.

It couldn’t possibly be the overarching system we live under. Surely there’s another explanation that doesn’t call attention to that. What about social media, hip hop or rock n roll music, the lgbtq, or possibly too much avocado toast and coffee?

Capitalism is literally a pyramid scam.

It’s an unfortunately common misconception that humans are inherently selfish and greedy.

Like you stated Capitalism rewards sociopathic behaviour.

Humans learn and adapt to the systems they live under.

Selfishness and greed is enforced under the capitalist system.

You should check our Peter Kropotkin’s ‘Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution’ for an alternate take which sounds like you’re already on board with.

Honestly, I need more :3 in my life.

Yes, literally.

Without capitalism we would be free to build any cool technology we desire, with the only motivation being the benefit of humanity and improvement of our daily lives.

Capitalism is a wasteful and nonsensical system that will only guarantee the enslavement and annihilation of human life.

There is no utopian version as long as we maintain the capitalist system. How long do you think “regulations” can stand against the profit incentive of every conceivable greedy ghoul out there?

Pure ideology (liberalism).

To be “on the left” at minimum you need to be totally opposed to the capitalist system.

From there, there are many ideologies to choose from whether authoritarian (like Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, Stalinism, etc.) or anti-authoritarian: mutualism, communalism, one of the many strains of anarchism, etc.

Also if you’re authoritarian I’d say it’s questionable whether you’re still on the left.

hehe minus one 😈

Yes

Google: “Be evil.”

I’m sure a lot of the original population has dropped by a lot more than that, but in numbers they would have been replaced by an influx of fascists and bots.

As an individual I’d rather be giving my data to China who probably have no interest in me personally, rather than a Five Eyes country who want my data to spy on me, and have more interest in persecuting me, stopping me at borders, etc.

Heaven forbid the kids should be against the outright mass murder of unarmed men, women, and (mostly) children, the targeted killing of journalists, doctors, and destruction of all hospitals, the blocking of aid, forced starvation, and targeted killing of people in designated “safe zones”.

Where has their sense of bloodthirsty genocide and outright cruelty gone?

It doesn’t say “from the left”. It says “from both parties”. Biden is the fascist from the other party.

Democrats are in no way, shape, or form part of “the left”.

At bare minimum someone on the left would be completely opposed to capitalism. They might be a mutualist, communalist, anarcho-syndicalist, anarcho-communist, etc.

Democrats are Neo-liberals and support the status quo. Maybe not outright fascists like the Republicans, but they have more in common with Republicans than they do with anyone on the left and when push comes to shove they’re not going to oppose fascism, they’re just going to go along with it. “Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds.”
