At least I have enough IQ to not immediately do exactly what's being criticised?

Question: Why is the act of gathering resources bad?

He looks like an idiot why should I listen to him

^

answer: it's not necessarily

gathering resources through production: good

gathering resources through power: bad

But fitzy

SAY THE WORD

Why is living good

SAY IT

Why is suffering bad

I'm waiting for the greyfag to say "Exploitation" lol

I don't believe employment is exploitative

I love owning 10 houses a hundred cars and living in my space shuttle during the weekends, that's what necessary to me to be happy? Got a problem? Fuck off commie ;)

Economically illiterate people disgust me

I didn't say "necessary"

I said "it's not, necessarily"

gathering resources isn't necessarily bad. sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't

It always is better

More is always better

for the individual, but on a systems level it can be harmful

I hate to agree with materialism, but it does make things work better

What system?

Unless you're arguing against rare earth elements, I don't think you'll find a sympathetic ear here

THAT is exploitation via resources

@GeorgyBoyo my point is really that if your system allows individuals to hoard resources by the exertion of power, there's a lot of lost wellbeing for everyone else

Our advancements in science and technology on so many levels would not have been possible of people just went "oh we are good now no more innovating and getting better!"

Except that's not how things work

I want us to keep getting better and innovating, so does Vaush

It's simple: we get rid of the system that is exploitable by those with power

.. exactly?

Sure, I'd love to have AnCapistan

The deep state is bad no shit

What does this have to do with capitalism

Communist

his argument being that capitalism is inherently exploitable
