Not true, I also enjoy stuff not created by workers, like mountains, forests or the sea.
On the other hand, I hate a lot of stuff capitalism created.
Now, try building a house by negotiating with the people who mine and harvest the raw components, the people who transport the components to the processing facilities, the people who actually build the house, and those who harvest, build, and transport the items you need to turn the building into a home. Now do this with the actual workers
Already happens among workers even in Capitalist countries, the owners rarely enter the picture at all.
Is capitalism in the room with you right now?
*looks at brands that may be cheaper without a brand *
Uhh, yes.
I'm typing this on a device that I carry around with me all day, who's entire purpose is to collect as much data as possible and deliver it back to the company I bought it from. All in order to influence me to buy more of their stuff. In a way, yeah capitalism is always in the room with me. It kinda sucks.
Take the FOSS pill, if you can! Go for privacy-focused setups and reduce addictive elements, the mental clarity is huge.
My life is so close to ad-free. Next stop is to stop going outside
Hardest challenge: touching grass lmao
Haha. Fair point
Yes, absolutely.
Are... are you saying capitalism doesn't exist?
No.
and yet that is what that idiom implies - that you are seeing things that don't exist
No. I don't thinks so...
