Capitalism screws people’s mental health over and profit from that by having mercenaries at their disposal

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Yep, it's a classic only-throw situation. The capitalists want social alienation to undercut any type of organizing that would hurt their profit margins, but in doing so they create the environment for random acts of violence that we live in. They're not going to undo the alienation, so at most they and their mouthpieces will complain about the symptoms, but never the cause.
