Idk, doesn’t matter where I go, be it Political Memes, Politics, Elon Musk Spam, etc, it seems everyone hates on capitalism all together-

    Because capitalism is burning the earth down for profit and if nothing is done we’re all dead soon ?

      we’re all dead soon

      That’s a bit… extreme. We’re all going to be dead soon? You mind elaborating a bit?

        Climate change, sea level rising, populations moving to an already overpopulated land mass, wars, pandemics… Capitalism is killing us slowly but surely. And “soon” is a figure of speech, it might take a while but compared to humanity span it’s soon enough. Some might survive, but on the long term humanity is running head first into a wall. We might have the time to change course and only get a few bruises, but the no return point is way past.

          Well like everything, capitalism too has its downsides and there’s plenty to improve on, but it’s quite difficult to see how ending capitalism and replacing it with what ever you think it should be replaced with would end stuff like wars or pandemics. Ending capitalism would definitely end certains issues caused by it, but along would come a set of new issues we’re probably not having to deal with now.
