Every single one of them is telling on themselves.

Came here to make a similar comment having had a similar experience.

Judging how “easy” someone might have it based solely on age is a ridiculous thing to do.

Mental illness and or abusive parents or siblings (E: or as someone else mentioned: grief) don’t suddenly stop existing when you’re on holiday, if anything, being away from your own safe space and comfort zone, and in a strange place you don’t know surrounded by people you might not even be able to speak to, never mind ask for help, and your abusers potentially feeling more free than they would at home, can make everything significantly worse.

There’s plenty of shit to criticise in the world we live in, emo kids reaaaaly shouldn’t be one of them.

Letting oil barons, war mongers, and other billionaire scum off some really big hooks with that “entirely” part…

The Great American Buffalo is a must watch.

Pretending something that was never stateless, classless, and moneyless but rather quite the fucking opposite (E: and was never going to end up there, either) was communism, shows you need to hit the books on how communism is actually intended to function.

Think about it!

Do it!!!

Fuck these greedy bastards.

One exception to it : fascists capitalists managed to convince people who can only lose stuff to a war that it’s good for them too.

Fascism is capitalism in decay, there is no exception.

Lol, you mean the state capitalists? You’re not making the (weak, “whatabout”) point you think you are, but hey, your confidence in your wilful ignorance in defence of those exploiting you for profit* is almost impressive! (but not really) 🙄😂

*E: and guess what, I don’t even need to know where you live to say this, because every working class person on the planet is currently being exploited for profit through both labour and war, but don’t let that get in the way of the bootlicking you’ve come here to do in self-destructive defence of your beloved capitalism (I threw up in my mouth a little)…

Lmfao, sorry (not sorry), I should have included feudalists too I guess, to avoid bootlicking pedants… 🙄

The point stands - war is waged for profit by profiteers, not by random civilians trying to live their lives, always was, always will be.

You misspelled “capitalists”.

This photo is actual nightmare fuel. 😫

Oh, I was just making an observation, I’m definitely with you on this, a proper block would be much better,.

Not defending xitter, but that’s exactly how it works on lemmy, isn’t it? If I block someone I don’t see them anymore but they can still see and reply to me.

the original UN article

Someone linked it bellow: https://archive.is/MObDZ#selection-561.68-561.160

The FEE article is garbage, but the original is like a broken clock, it makes a couple of valid points, but it doesn’t strike me as being written by an anti capitalist, but by someone who wants to reform capitalism.

How does the saying go? When your only tool is a hammer, every problem is a nail?

The only tool he has is what capitalism gave him - the idea that people will only work if threatened with starvation, homelessness, or other punishment.

The idea that the benefit of a community and society at large, and by direct extension - our own, could motivate people, or to be more precise, the idea that society would benefit everyone not just a “select” few, doesn’t even come in to consideration.

If only… But I suspect whatever happens in November, it isn’t going to be pleasing at all (to me as an anarchist, anyway), especially because it isn’t themselves they consume, like the hypothetical “intellectuals” on the desert island would, but the rest of us, and those most vulnerable first.

Lmfao, I’d pay to watch them descend in to chaos as they insist on ranking each other by importance or whatever arbitrary measure of superiority they choose, because they simply can’t function otherwise, until they all end up dead from refusing to “lower” themselves to cooperate with “inferiors”.

Sure, but they shouldn’t be publishing this garbage either.

Sounds good at a glance, but when you look at the way he reaches that conclusion (that the threat of hunger is the only reason people are willing to work), and his solution (for a class of “intellectuals” like him to take charge) however, are just neoliberal swill…

OP really should have just linked the article:
