dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Most people in capitalist countries never leave the economic bracket they were born into. Capitalism is a primitive system of elites and peasants, filled with squalor and death.

This is such a one dimensional view of 'human nature' because you should need to define what it is before you make such a statement.

I didn't use the phrase 'human nature' in the comment you replied to.

Why is greed any more human nature than care and empathy?

I haven't said that it is.

when I hear people say that 'capitalism is human nature.'

I haven't said that.

So what is your point, then? That abusing power and killing people is human? Also, calling something 'human' basically is another way to describe 'human nature' since everything is human nature that one does.

You implied it

I disagree.

a very similar problem

But not the same problem. Hence your straw man.

Edited my comment. But what is your point, then?
