    Capitalism doesn’t push innovation, in fact it hampers it. But once innovation pushes through despite all the odds, capitalism is right there to exploit it and enshittify it as much as possible.

    Just because capitalism is the end-all be-all of our economic system right now does not mean it is responsible for all the good in the world. Good can exist in spite of a system, not just because of it.

      And yet you’re writing this from a stupidly complex computer made by capitalistic economic system. Oh the irony.

        Weird, I thought electrical engineers designed those computers but it turns out it was capitalism, because as we all know engineers only exist within a capitalist framework.

        Just because it was made in a capitalist country doesn’t mean it was “made by capitalism”. Is someone paying you to be this ignorant?

        “You despise the system yet you continue to exist within it, curious…”

        If you read past the first part of the first sentence of the first paragraph of my comment you may have had a chance to read this thing I said as well:

        Good can exist in spite of a system, not just because of it.
