im not saying capitalism is its own force or anything, im just saying that its unfair for blaming the people who are trapped in this system for voting "wrong" when there are no real options
The people is the system. It's not like they were physically forced to anything
they are being forced to participate in this system
Forced to vote for nazis and let them do nazi things? No.
There was at least 1 other option. And there still are options. But shutting the fuck up about everything and just imagining it's all lost and set in stone isn't it and the people are not forced to do so. They just adore their own arrogant narcism too much to think out of their tiny box that they think is he navel of the world.
The people are the culture and the culture causes the system. What I mean is y'all should start to think about the principle of cause and effect and your own role in there. It has to start with every single one.
Also annoy your government and everyone who could help to disempower them
I live in a capitalist country too. How should I not participate in capitalism? The only way to get rid of capitalism is a revolution. Will there be a revolution in america soon? dont think so. Americans have been so brainwashed into believing capitalism is the only way. The people who have all the wealth and power are the only ones who profit from capitalism, so of course they want to keep it. Those exact people also have the power to brainwash the population into believing that wokeness is the greatest threat to their society. I feel bad for all the american people, it doesnt matter if they voted republican or democrat.
You still focus on capitalism forcing them to keep being assholes lol. The current problem of the USA is not capitalism. It's national common assholery and nearly everyone there refuses to let it go since ever.
at this point you are just becoming racist. i wish to not further continue this conversation
How am I being racist? I was trying to explain to you that every single person effects their surroundings and the butterfly effect or so. You just don't have any argument.
I'm not saying no one over there is doing it right by trying to change attitudes. But the totality of the people doesn't even really want to become better
