Capitalism isn't bad, monopolistic corporations are

Government isn't bad, unaccountable government is

Technology isn't bad, externally imposed systems are

Systems are not inherently bad.

People are bad, and they exploit the systems.

But also questionable if an exploitable system is good enough?

I would say Murhpy was in some way right.

Without people the system is inexistant. And people without a system would be only individuals.

So your critique kind of lacks logic.

Monopolistic corporations 🤝 cronyism

what? no, government is bad

and it's only government that creates monopolistic corporations

and it's only government and its fellow corporations that impose technology

can you get one example of a government that isn't bad

To borrow from Churchill, government is the worst form of government, except for all the other ones

by churchill you mean the guy who bombed civilians and other nasty acts just to not look like a loser

I'm quoting him, not endorsing him

Read some articles about #switzerland direct democracy 😉

Well said

i appreciate your desire to stay balanced

Great to see criticism paired with critical thinking. Great to have people who see the greyscale even in a digital world 😉🥳

Capitalism isn't bad, monopolistic corporations are. But why capitalism inevitably leads to monopolistic corporations?

Government isn't bad, unaccountable government is. But why aren't there any accountable governments in the world?

Technology isn't bad, externally imposed systems are. But why are any allegedly successful technologies always being imposed on people and not in a good way?

Because psychopaths are pushing things like that. Why do people allow psychopaths to do that, and moreover to rule the world? Because that's the human nature. What can we do with it? I don't know.
