Capitalism
Greed and lack of empathy, not capitalism.
But also they somehow thought they could get away with it in the usa when they declared themselves 2 years ago in France that the foam in their device gives cancer. I really can't understand the logic, usa is the country of trial and lawyers, they knew they would get sued at some point.
Because capitalism basic isn’t greed and lack of empathy, I could choose to invest my capital into nearby companies employing homeless people for instance. That would be capitalism.
I know lemmy population is mostly very left politically but these kind of « good socialism against bad capitalism » are nonsense and borderline ridiculous. I’m seriously wondering if there is a mob of edgy teenager promoting their political vision on every thread because it always comes down to « uh bad capitalism » every time I look into comments.
The thing is I’m not saying capitalism is good neither, it sure isn’t looking great in USA. I’m saying it is what people end up doing with it and not everything can be blamed on it.
We’ll just agree to disagree.
greed and lack of empathy are the hallmarks of capitalism
