All these talk about capitalism, yeah it’s very bad, it create wealth for the rich, but then poor stay poor, are you getting richer today compare to 2008? May be you have a smartphone on your palm now and you feel you’re living the future because you’re not 2008 again where people are typing on their keyboard on their Nokia, but your swiping the screen on your smartphone, yeah you’re getting richer by evolving from keyboard to touch screen. What else can you brag about besides a smarter devices? No flying car is coming out in this year so we all go to YouTube and watch some crackhead smashing up their iPhone into pieces, to find something to make fun of, and Tesla is not the future it’s just a joke.
You are rich if you don't have to work and spend your life on a boat. That's how I describe "being wealthy"
$2m in your bank account don't mean shit if you still have to go to work tomorrow. You can realize your position and live a rich life but till you do, you are not rich really. (according to me)
That $1k iphone (you can probably have a similar quality phone for much cheaper), $60-100k car (same thing applies, can find something cheaper which does the same trick without having to lose comfort) and similar shit like that you want these because Instagram makes you want to have these.
When you buy these overpriced shit while there are far cheaper options, and you actually support the real rich instead of you try to become one. But you know, it is impossible for everybody to be rich. That's how capitalism works. Some people need to stay as slaves.
And you know what's funny? People want to stay as slaves because that is all they know. That's what they learned from the college they went.
Don’t get we wrong, I didn’t blame on the price on anything we can buy, what’s I’m sorrow about is the capitalism itself, when I start to embrace this idea which is probably a red flag on me, the capitalism is rewarding the lazy and punish the hardworking people, I see knowledgeable people getting trashed under capitalism, knowledge is trash its worthless, all those smart people who could build civilisation get trashed, being there done that, I can feel that, I’m not saying I’m the most knowledgable person but I feel the wastefulness on it, we no longer value knowledges which is very sad, and don’t blame on the products that we have today which is often lack of knowledges, so what’s the point again, why are we argue here for what? We are salty about being poor, being what you think money is not everything, so a $1000 phone, so a $100k car, so what are the point we are arguing?
