I find it odd that there are a loud and large number of people who decry communism and socialism as failed theories – pointing to the ruins of various countries that have unsuccessfully implemented them – while pointedly ignoring the fact that capitalism is falling into the same problems: the ruling class (ie, ultra-rich) takes all, and the working class suffers from a rapidly widening wealth gap.

However, when you know that the media is owned by only a handful of billionaires to benefit from the system as it is, it starts making a lot more sense.

I’m allowed to comment without first being required to farm an unknown amount of karma.

Reddit is the most new-user-unfriendly site I have ever been to. You’ve got to farm an unknown amount of karma before you can post or comment in subreddits. There’s a reason I’m at Lemmy now. Fuck Reddit. (Also, 4chan is a toilet. The occasional nuggets of good stuff aren’t worth trawling through pages of shitposts for.)
