    I hate people who try to tell me how I feel like they know better than me.

      People are a product of the system they live under. We can look at the collapse of USSR as a concrete example here. All the same people who used to be productive members of society under the Soviet system became oligarchs once niches for exploitation opened up after the transition to capitalism. It’s a systemic problem, not an individual one. That’s what she’s saying when she says you hate the material conditions.

    Can’t comment on either, but I do hate that piano-falling-down-the-stairs background music.

    “Hate the capitalist system, not the capitalist”

    I honestly thought I was looking at commie jesus in that picture on my phone.

      Capitalism is not human nature. It is a system of exploitation that has to go

          Selfishness is not a historical necessity of human nature, but rather one component of human nature as it exists in the current historical moment, shaped by current sociological, religious, political, and economic structures.

          Attributing selfishness as an inherent part of human nature and letting that underpin your misanthropy is wrong on two accounts:

          • You’ve taken a postion of idealism, a philosophy which has viciously been made obsolete for over 100 years.
          • You’ve expressed a problem, humanity and its selfishness, but have no solution to your problem besides an idea: hatred against humanity. A problem without a solution is useless. You’ve let your hatred make you impotent.

          I suggest you do some reading to better understand the idea of human nature.

          A favorite of mine is Elementary Principles of Philosophy.

              You’ve suggested that selfishness is a universal aspect of human nature.

              I suggested that selfishness is not a universal aspect of human nature, but instead a result of the intra-actions between human beings and political systems as they currently exist.

              Explain how it is I, and not you, who is the ideologue in this situation.

              Step 0: Choose to click on a thread in a .ml community when you clearly hate us. The socialism community no less when you clearly don’t intend on learning about socialism.

              Step 1: Make a claim with no justification because “obviously it should be obvious to anyone.”

              Step 2: Someone disagrees, provides a detailed justification complete with sources.

              Step 3: Resort to ad hominem name calling. Complain about the instance that you chose to click and comment on.

              Step 4: ???

              Step 5: Reassure yourself that your ideology is the correct one and everyone else is wrong.

              And we’re the dickhead ideologues, sure.

          I will continue to hate people

          You’ve just demonstrated the biggest reason everyone hates people lol. We hate people because people act like you as soon as they disagree on something. Zero attempt to learn from others or even defend your own opinions that you feel so strongly about, just “fuck you and everyone who agrees with you if you don’t tell me I’m absolutely right.”

          Also, just curious, do you also hate yourself when you say you hate “people?” Or is everyone else the problem and you’re the only good person in your mind?
