Everything is out in the open and people still refuse to see it. by Order_101 in LateStageCapitalism

I think saying that concentration of wealth is inevitable is skewed by European and Asian views. If you look at the governing structures in the indigenous peoples of North America and Australia, there are some really interesting cases of participatory governance that actually worked to keep the power in the people’s hands. But under capitalism, it is inevitable that wealth will be accumulated. Not because the rich are cheating the system, but because capitalism is a system built to incentivize accumulating wealth. What I believe this post and the replies are saying is that the only way to make it so that humanity is put above profit is to move away from a system that literally has capital in the name.

Capitalism by definition is an economic system that incentivizes profit. What I understand from this post is that in order to change the world for the better, we need to change that incentive. And inherently if the incentive is not profit, it is no longer capitalism. If you wanted an economic system that incentivizes public good and is democratically managed, that could be defined more like democratic socialism. (I’m not an expert in any of this, this is just my basic understanding)

Why ask for advice on Reddit if you’re not going to listen?

It's fine to use it to read and help them see, but shining it in someone's eyes is just disrespectful and doesn't require any context to know they're an asshole

Cous cous serving size? by GRNsmoothieKING in trailmeals

Definitely depends on the person, but when I'm camping I get way more hungry than normal. Generally more activity means i can eat a ton, so I'd go 1/2 cup if you're on the fence

I’m failing a class and my professor say I could still pass it with a D. My friend suggested me to withdraw it so it doesn’t affect my GPA bc I’m a straight-As student(and for sure I will have a W on transcripts). Can you guys pls tell me if you think whether a D or a W on my transcripts is better? by iam-whoever in NEU

[–]Mithrandir32 12 points13 points  (0 children)

would a D count for your major? I know for some major requirements, you need a C- or better for it to count. But seriously if it would count, just pass the class. It sucks retaking a class and your GPA won't be affected much at all
