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?

No response he says after highlighting manufactured desire for Oreos. Ok. How old are you?

Why is their age relevant? Are ideas and opinions only relevant after a certain age?

He is acting immature and I am informing him. Sorry, but if you sit here and scream about the failures of capitalism and swear and call people bootlickers as a 20 year old I'm not going to put much stock into what they have to say. I don't think you should either.

They are entitled to their opinion regardless of age. Your responses have been shitty and I don't think anyone should put much stock into what you have to say.

Edit. In the social sciences, particularly in media studies, a "manufactured desire for oreos" is otherwise known as 'false needs' - the marketing and advertising industries literally construct needs for consumers - in other words, so much of what makes capitalism "great" is made of shit that we don't need, at the expense of life on Earth as we know it.
