It promotes the false idea that some are naturally going to have less and some are naturally going to have more,
how is this a false idea?  Some bears in the wild eat and live better than other bears in the wild...because nature gave them more.  Sometimes nature gave them a better environment, with more game and fewer humans and other rival predators.  Sometimes nature gave them faster legs or better eyes or a slightly darker coat that made them better.  Some living things are going to have it better than others.  This is fact.  It happens to ants, it happens to gophers and it happened to humans 250k years ago and it happens to humans today.  Does it suck if you're a lesser?  Of course, but being a lesser human is way better than being a lesser ANYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD....'cause those things just die.  Humans, the better of us at least, take care of each other, unlike any other species in the world.  Because we are special.  Maybe other animals would too if they could (and certainly some individual animals do), but right now, only humans shed tears for what happens to other humans that they never met, that don't look like them, that pray to another stupid fake thing in the sky and live 10000 miles away.  Hell, we shed tears because animals suffer. Sure, sometimes we do it while we stuff a chicken leg in our mouths....we're funking complicated! Smiley

capitalism doesn't imply things at people and the vast majority of people don't think this way either.  Ask around.

to be fair, some people are lazy.  I am them.  And if it's combined with proper liberty, as it must, nobody can be silenced.  That doesn't mean we have to listen to them either though, sometimes we're busy, ya know, at work Wink


I'm not going to argue that there aren't "victims" or that we've perfected it, we haven't.  If you think Sweden or Denmark does capitalism better than we do it, I'm willing to listen and I'm sure other are too, but if you want to sell us that capitalism is the worst, you need to tell us what's better and I notice you and nobody else in this thread has....because they'd be laughed at by people smarter than them and humans hate that....generally, then there are people like HillGoose.

Yeah, that stuff might suck, but what do you suggest we do that would keep everyone's quality of life pushing forward at the same pace it's been going since liberal democracies w/ free(ish) markets took over?  The human civilization, as it is now, will never be equal or fair for everyone.  There are different ideas as to how to keep it the least sucky for the least of us, some do it better than others.  The idea that this shouldn't be the focus of civilization instead of general advancement sounds cold, and maybe it is.  It's still, in the opinion of most people the best option.

Thank Og.

It's like a classroom learning at the rate of the slowest student.  It might be the most fair, but it's not a good idea.
