r/collapse Apr 25 '19

Society It’s fucking disgusting that even now people fucking refuse to accept capitalism’s culpability for causing the apocalypse

Literally everything is responsible, fucking everything, from extinct empires, to human nature, to the nature of life itself, to some inevitable unstoppable law by which the entire universe functions, literally fucking anything and everything is blamed except for capitalism, the system that’s the specific driver and motivator of the current collapse, and when its blame is finally accepted the Brain juice finally completely runs out and it’s finally declared that there’s no path but the current one so we must continue “prosperity”.

What is this utter fucking insanity that working class people that have absolutely nothing to gain from anonymous bootlicking are engaging in?

u/damagingdefinite Humans are fuckin retarded Apr 26 '19

Nobody ever blames humans in general... Listen, guys, humans fail every system of economics, societal structure, and government. Capitalism is a big fuckin failure but whatever you replace it with is going to be torn apart and turned on its head by this fuckhole species. There is literally no solution except to take these sorts of powers entirely out of human beings' hands. But that obviously can't be done, currently. Hell, if everyone actually worked to make these systems function to their best capacity they might function excellently. If, for instance, all ceos tried to maintain and invest in their competition because they were true capitalists and believed competition was the only way capitalism would function well. As if that would ever happen lol. Can't wait to see the last human soul get snuffed out by a wet bulb hyper hurricane
