Maybe capitalism should have made sure we didn't need 2-3 jobs all at 40 hours a week just to pay rent and groceries. Buying a home? Forget it.

Are you replying to the wrong person?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, propaganda and subterfuge are less effective against a populace who has their needs met and live comfortably. Capitalism no longer does this for anyone but the wealthy.

Okay but like I never made any statements in favor of capitalism. I just called Tankies a bunch of shitheads.

You really cannot extrapolate

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Theres extrapolation and then theres you having an unrelated discussion and projecting your imaginary opponent onto me.

We're on a post about capitalism. If this is too much for you, perhaps the puddle of drool before you would be more accommodating.

I never said the post was wrong in any way, I offered valuable advice to OP and other users here.

And I was saying people have a real reason to be disenfranchised and its not all propaganda.

Okay thats fine, the fuck does that have to do with my response to this post?
