Like we have a choice with society. I love calling peers bootlickers because they are trying to survive and possibly having more success than you.
Hate the game not the player. What's the economic equivalent of an incel?
Not sure why the downvotes and comments.
Like if we don’t participate in the capitalist system what should we do?
Every motherfucker on here is part of that system unless they build their own phones or PC. Where is Lemmy hosted? More likely on AWS or some other cloud provider.
Where do you buy things from if not capitalist businesses.
The downvotes are from a misunderstanding. I didn't say to reject capitalism or go live in the woods to escape it or anything like that.
I'm saying you can accept that you are nothing but a cog in the capitalist machine without simping for the very machine that's crushing you.
People seem to be reading what they want to read in these comments.
I don’t see how the comment you replied to is simping for capitalism though.
I do tend to miss meaning in text so maybe I just don’t see it.
