Capitalism is a shit show and having healthcare tied to employment is horrible but is this person arguing that having a lot of options to choose from is a bad thing?
is this person arguing that having a lot of options to choose from is a bad thing?
What if those options are nothing more than bread and circuses to distract everyone from the growing dystopia that the sellers of those options are creating?
Monoculture farming and usurping native species is a significant contributor to green house gases and it destroys the ecosystem. Run off water contains nitrogen from fertilizers. Don’t get me started on insecticides and insecticide resistant crops that one company has a monopoly on, they have won lawsuits against farmers for growing last year’s seeds instead of purchasing new ones.
It is absolutely not all farmers but unfortunately farms are going bankrupt and their properties get rolled up into a portfolios and sold. And if you’re a lucky* farmer then you lease areas of your land to the mega farming corp instead of out right losing your property.
That’s the example they used. There’s good reason for there to be tons of different shampoos. People have all different kinds of hair and conditions that make it so one size can’t fit all. Tons of products are like this. Even if the product is just for entertainment, why is it such a bad thing to have a lot of choice?
I think most people are in favor of having lots of different products to choose from. The point of the post isn’t that it’s a bad thing, the point is that freedom should mean more than just having a wide variety of products to choose from.

Shampoo is distracting people?
Thats an impressive level of missing the point.

Probably. In a nation where 56 people are dying from malnutrition every day, having 11 different brands of cheese balls is a disgrace.
That isn’t why people are starving.
Nor did I claim that.
Then why are you bitching about it?
