    Why aren’t any big businesses worker coops? Because it’s harder to expand when you can’t force others to do it for your personal gain. Exploitative systems will move faster.

    I think this is a hard problem to solve but I’ve not given up on it. If egalitarian communities can be more resistant to strife they could grow faster in the long run.

    My hope is in the fact that many people are trying and near everyone wants it. It’s a good cause to be a part of.

    I live a privileged life within a very privileged country. I consider this luxury stolen. Many people that made my life possible got a very bad deal.

      And you are free to do that. Good luck with that!

      I prefer to do other things and enjoy what I have.

        It’s easier to be selfish and willfully ignorant

        And there you have it, conservatism in a nutshell

          I’d say that was more “fuck you I got mine” with a little “I suffered so everyone else should suffer”.

          Both are common parlance in the conservative screed, especially amongst the boomer parasites…

          How is anything is said close to being “selfish and willfully ignorant”?

          Feel free to join up with him and start donating the majority of your pay to some sort of awesome world that he wants. No other country is doing it, but hey, you two anonymous Lemmy posters will figure it all out.

          Good luck, friends! :)
