    Luckily, we can choose to reject reality and believe whatever makes us feel better.

    I feel best believing the biosphere is gonna force humanity to “find out” for the last century of fuckin around with a recklessly unplanned terraform.

            Why does it seem like there are a ton more conservatives here on Lemmy than there were on Reddit?

                I don’t know how I feel about it. On one hand, it makes for less of an echo chamber. On the other hand, their thoughts are fucking stupid and it hurts my brain to see them.

                  They have the right to be here and express their thoughts.

                  What they don’t have is a right to our attention.

                  Ignore them and block accounts that get annoying.

                Man I am kinda sorry, that I invade your worldview.

                But rich people don’t have all their money stored in a vault like Dagobert Duck. It’s all stocks.

                And boy, if one of the companies make losses, then their money goes downhill. It’s volatile.

                And due to immense concurrence in innovation in the tech sector, every investor has a huge interest in innovation.

                And with many investment, the start of a company is ensured.

                The current capitalism is the system that works best.

                Especially the US capitalism is one hell of a driver in innovation. I live in Germany and many companies wouldn’t be possible here. Even though we have capitalism, it’s much softer than its US counterpart.

                The downside of course is poverty for cheaper labour.

                And that’s brutal, but it’s the reality we live in.

                Though I wouldn’t want to live in the US without healthcare, on the counter side I wouldn’t want to start a company here in Europe.

                  UserDoesNotExist, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this website is now dumber for having read it. I award you one downvote, and may God have mercy on your soul.
