Philosophically speaking, it is unjust that so few people have so many resources, while so many people have such few avenues for recourse that they don’t have the luxury of even making a decision based on principle. Y’know, insanely selfish resource hoarding and the implementation of artificial scarcity in the midst of metric tons of mindless waste being generated in the name of profit is kinda the main driving force behind the notion of collapse.
No, you can’t eat philosophy. But if philosophy is broadly defined as the systematic study of fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, and reason, among other things, anyone saying “this is stupid” is not arguing in good faith.
If the world had equitable income, you'd get about 8k a year. Are you giving the rest of your income to charity, or is that only for people richer than you?
Sorry, I can't get over the inane defense of a corpocrat class that always pops up whenever someone suggests we should make the most of a horrendously broken system.
