    Even if we acknowledge capitalism is responsible for the rising tide of the last 100+ years (and even that is highly situational), it’s obviously not working anymore and without a way to externalize the costs of capitalism to people and places that “dont matter” those tools meant to externalize damage are now pointed inwards and the rewards fail to trickle down. now we’re all losing more than we put in, with that surplus value going only to the owners.

      TIL communism don’t pollute.

      Even if you try to bring up China’s lower emissions per person, though quickly climbing in the last 2 decades with higher petrol use every year, they’re currently trying to stop population from falling while being more than double the pop per km as the USA.
