Thinking itself is not easy for many, and that doesn’t even include the critical .

I think that’s two different things. Billionaires can and do get continuously richer also when there are napkins in a restaurant to satisfy customers.

Actually, satisfied customers are return customers, which every businessman knows are the best customers. Amazon certainly knows that. The reason why Amazon is so succesful is because they focus intensely on customer satisfaction. They’re fucking their employers, yes, but they wouldn’t need to. They just do because the regulations allow for it.

According to your statement there must be someone getting fucked. An trade where all parties are satisfied does not seem possible.

I understand. You refuse to accept something that is fairly obvious for many Lemmy users and want to put a burden of proof on me, and because I don’t want to take on additional work for someone I neither know nor agree with, you are happy to keep your opinion, as am I to keep mine.

Ok, Stalin

Oh there certainly is. You gotta read those comment threads yourself.

It’s popped up in this one, too. It’s really curious how you can read and write enough to answer here, but not see that.

What’s your view on Trump?

That’s very abstract and doesn’t mean much. With as many words you can say capitalism is based on scientific reasoning.

I’m not even American yet still in “the west”, and refuse to be identified by American subpar ways of determining people in power.

Just to understand what you are saying, do you say communists apply scientific reasoning?

Here are some properties of any conspiracy theory worth it’s name:

• Closed Ideological Systems: They provide an all-encompassing explanation for various events or states, with everything fitting into their worldview.
• Immunity to Facts: Any contrary evidence is dismissed as false or considered part of the conspiracy.
• Enemy Construction: They tend to draw a clear line between “us” (those who “know the truth”) and “them” (the supposed conspirators).
• Adaptability: Conspiracy narratives can change and incorporate new “evidence” or events to maintain their credibility.

It matches for QAnon and the MAGA crowd as well as the lemmygrad crowd.

Given the comment you’re just responding to, that’s a level of not-self-reflection that’s usually reserved to /r/selfawarewolfs or the like.

Another repeating problem is the vast generalizations. Treating “the West” as if they’re all Bush Jr. or Reagan.

Nope. Comment threads don’t work like that.

And the remainder of lemmy is the capitalist establishment?

Hey I am not an AI , I have real feelings, and you hurt them by calling me a looser ass chucklefucks!

Just a moment ago someone called a comment of mine sensible. 😃

What happened there?

Pull it out. Look at the time. Remember I didn’t want to doomscroll. Put it back. Repeat.
