Capitalism isn't the solution, it IS the problem [View all]

Any system that rewards greed over communitarianism is a problem

Any system that puts the individual above the community is a problem

Why do you think we have so many antivaxxers and antimaskers?

This isn't just because they want to "own the libs"

It's because our flavor of economics rewards the individual over the community, so anything that individual wants to do is favored over what could help the community

So to assert your individuality, even at the cost of your own life or others, is considered being a "maverick"
