        Is the joke that everyone actually hates capitalism? I don't personally know anyone that claims to love capitalism. We just deal with it because we have to since it's what we have to work with.

          Except that every time you have the opportunity to fix it the country makes it worse.

            The only thing the US truly excels at is at marketing. They have taken the art of fluffing up, bullshitting and propagandizing to unparalleled heights. They will spin you any story, sell you any banal detail as a major novelty. And not just as ‘a people’ but right down to individuals.

            Why? Because everyone’s supposed to be their own ‘brand’, to sell themselves to everyone else, all the time. Sell yourself or sell your boss’ story. Sell or perish.

              I'm curious though. How would you fix it?
              Don't get me wrong; I hate capitalism to my core, but I don't know how we'd have a better and sustainable alternative.

                Americans always act like you need to pick between capitalism and communism. There's a whole spectrum inbetween you know. I live in one of the most taxed countries of Europe and while we all still complain, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

                  Well I'm not american nor did I suggest communism. I asked an open ended question.
                  Also I hardly believe your European country isn't based on capitalism. Albeit with more social aspects perhaps.

                    Totalitarian "communist" regimes have done so much damage to the world and their peoples, that to this day the general populace considers capitalism the only way to build functional society.

                    I'm a democratic socialist from a post-communist country, and people are quick to assume I'm a Leninist after hearing that I'm a socialist.
