We live wasted lives

it’s hard for people so used to the comforts of capitalism to realise this is actually luxury
being inside, seated comfortably, doing non-manual work, educated, can read, listening to music, this is a job better than 99% of people who have ever lived have had
Slaves who existed before capitalism was even imagined would dream of this WaSTeD LiFe 🤪
it's good that you think this way, after all, happier slaves are more productive.

we can have all the "good" things we claim to want from other economic systems within capitalism. It just requires voting for politicians that do their job to progress laws forward instead of dragging their feet.

What? I love spending my day going to meetings where I’m quizzed about things that won’t matter next week and writing Jira tickets.

Problem is, instead of someone actively leading for something better for all, we are stomped under a boot, gaslighted, then told the problem is resources/poor people
Same as it ever was

Ya, totally. You make an obvious point.
The only problem with that is that almost all of the humans that have ever existed ... exist right now. Until we mastered this planet, there were very very few of us. We are now the most numerous mammal on the planet, and that's by a far degree. There's more of us than there are rats.wrote on last edited by [email protected]almost all of the humans that have ever existed ... exist right now
This is wildly untrue. The recent estimation of how many humans have existed is around 100 billion. Half of the total population of humans ever to exist was before the year 0, with the other half since then.

Whoever you vote for will be

And that makes it ok? Why are we doing nothing?

If you were able to answer that question, I think you would solve one of the eternal mysteries of humanity. We seem unable to escape the patterns that we keep repeating millennia after millennia.

It is multi-faceted, significantly genetic, and dependent on, well, those in-charge teaching new humans pro-social ethics, which is not happening.
