    To capitalists, humans are nothing but tools to enrich themselves. That’s why it’s called “Human Resources”. To them, you are literally nothing more: A resource to be exploited, like fruit from a fruit tree. They squeeze out the lemon to sell the juice and then throw the dry shell of the fruit to the composter.

    What many rich people have is sociopathy, which means an absence of empathy and understanding for what it means to be human. We must remember to be human, whether you name that “socialism” or just better laws that are made for the people.

        yeah, i agree, there are assholes everywhere. capitalism has just formalized and streamlined how-to-be-an-asshole. but there are other bad systems as well, of course.

          That’s literally just the nature of money.
          Root of all evil, and all that.

          You’re seeing the trees and not the forest.
