The competition of who can fuck over everyone else the fastest.
It was also capitalism that told us competition is supposed to be a good thing.
well it is a good thing. in capitalism because capitalism doesnt work without it lol
just working together would be much more efficient, i really dont get how this straigth up lie was just accepted like this
You are right that competition in capitalism is a good thing. Yeah you win i guess, sorry for lying.
um wat? i was agreeing with you 😅 i ment this lie about "capitalism works better then X because of the competition" / "competition is needed for innovation" or similar
Uhh yeah i totally knew that... I thought you were accusing me of saying competition is bad under capitalism.
