Imagine if your printer was also your car. That’s what owning a Tesla is like.

All corporations. All corporations will not be happy until ownership is a concept of the past. You are borrowing the company’s resources and paying them for the service.
If you don’t like it, stop heralding capitalism as the be-all of economic systems…
This is Lemmy, you don’t have to convince people not to like capitalism here, we’re already on board
We already have a noose set up for the first instance that gets greedy.
Define ‘we’. Not all of us are communists.
Don’t have to be communist to hate modern companies.
Skill issue
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Communists aren’t the only people that hate modern, western, late stage capitalism. Some of us are good, old fashioned, corporations-aren’t-people folks who believe that the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness shouldn’t be infringed by the mantra of “maximizing profits for our shareholders”.
Ah because if you don’t support laissez-faire capitalism you must be a communist.
Tell me you ate the onion without telling me you ate the onion.
Ho mangiato la cipolla
Communism is the least of your worries.
Ha! You know you are on Lemmy when “not all of us are Communists” gets pummelled by downvotes.
Apparently most are!
At least 15 people are!
Lol Lemmy’s Klepto Keyboard Kommunists are an endless source of misguided entertainment.
“Misguided” is a touch ironic when the only substantive point being made is, “capitalists seek profits above the welfare of their workers or customers.” You know… something heavily demonstrated throughout history…
But no, anyone who disagrees with you must be a misguided commie… Pathetic.
Will that really work in long term? More and more folks are entering gig economy where incomes aren’t consistently stable and people have already started to subscribe for minimum time just to consume relevant content. Are they really banking on whales forgetting to unsubscribe?
You’re on Lemmy. Someone is going to mention unions within seconds.
You just did
That was only a metamention.
No they aren’t. One thing people need to learn is; executives are some of the dumbest people on this planet. Short term profits far too often wins over logical long term projections.
If they were smart, enshitification wouldn’t be reality.
I’m not sure that is true. Their job is to prioritize short term profits. If they instead prioritize long term sanity, their bosses may fire them…
living as a service
Settle down. You’re on Lemmy, know your audience.
The irony…
Sorry full disclosure I’m high but what irony ?
There isn’t any irony. Whomever you were replying to has reading comprehension issues.
OP says that we should renounce capitalism, and I said that’s a silly statement since Lemmy unequivocally hates capitalism.
I am OP and I am the one who said capitalism is dumb. The irony was the person who responded to me saying, “know your audience”. I am the one who said, “the irony”… The irony is you implicitly think Lemmy is capitalist friendly as normal…
Maybe you are the one who needs to work on reading comprehension because you have completely fucked this up. You are quite literally incapable of understanding this basic conversation. Pathetic.
Re-read again. Slowly this time. Then use brain. If you’re experiencing the same result, try again but slower. Try sounding out the words.
NOWHERE WAS I APPLAUDING CAPITALISM
No fucking shit moron. That’s not required for irony. If you actually had a brain, you’d realize how conversation works, but clearly you never interact with actual humans. What your statements can imply do not have to be intentional to never the less still be implied, dipshit.
Did you read slow this time? Did you sound out ALL the words?
Mostly the “know your audience” bit. This is Lemmy. The non-corporate Reddit. If either of the two were going to understand the downsides of capitalism, it’d be those seeking escape from the products of capitalism.
… Also etiquette… pass that blunt!
What are you talking about?? OP saying that we need to stop HeRalDing capitalism. Like we’re not on Lemmy and that the overwhelming majority of us don’t already profess to hate capitalism on a very regular basis.
I don’t know how you read that any other way, smh
