      If you trace the root cause back far enough, it’s really difficult to think of a problem I have that isn’t caused or made worse by capitalist greed. Rent, job, bills, groceries, climate change, crappy roads, lack of public transit, food quality, lack of corporate oversight, corporate capture of media… I could go on, but I’m tired.

        That’s the thing innit? It makes everything worse enough that it sucks all the fun out of it, but not so bad that the majority decides to stop using the product and stop making them money.

        Unless it’s something you need to live, like food or healthcare. Then it’s “fuck you, we know you need this, pay up”.

          It’s less about using the product than providing their labour. Of course you can always judge people for what they buy/use but that is much less productive than going on strike or teaching people their position in the class war
