minus-squareRampantParanoia2365@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up28·1 year agoI think the whole lack of sustainable fusion thing may be a slightly larger factor than capitalism.
minus-squarepomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up22·1 year agoI recommend the book Trekonomics if you want to challenge this notion.

minus-squareClent@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoBecause we are stuck in a capitalistic world? Even if something starts without capitalistic intentions, capitalism will consume it. The internet is an example. Hell, water is an example.
