    Yes, we did invent it. However, that was done by a small group of people that have been in power for generations, and kept it difficult to change to a better system.

    What I’m trying to say is that I think most people probably don’t find it very fair that someone like Bezos can just be so ridiculously rich.

    Maybe we can change this.

      You really think that’s going to happen? Lmao. Yeah sure, and next we’ll have world peace and end poverty.

      Greedy, easily corruptable and prone to violent authoritarianism- describes like 85% of our species now and throughout recorded history.

      Stop nice-washing humanity and wake the fuck up. You’re not going to end capitalism, too many people benefit from it to let you.

        If we just give up, then there is a 0% chance. If we try, then the chance of succession isn’t zero. We have to try to be optimistic. Yes, the world is fucked, but hey, giving up is just accepting that and allowing it.
