Dude. Let me tell you a story.
I was 13 years old, a schoolboy on a trip to the countryside to "help" farm workers to harvest cabbages. It was a routine thing those days because the centralized Soviet industrial-government apparatus couldn't properly plan even such trivial things. There were about a hundred kids on that field. As we went with our business, a tractor spraying DDT came from the other side of the field. It passed us no more than 20 meters away, spraying everything around with the clouds of white stuff. Everybody knew it was DDT, everybody knew it was poisonous at that time. Our teacher approached the tractor and asked the operator to wait until we are done; the guy basically told her to fuck off and went on with spraying.
Now go ahead and tell me about capitalism, I'm all ears.
- hanniabu 3y agoI think you thought this story would somehow nullify that capitalism is bad
- mike_ivanov 3y agoThe point is that capitalism is irrelevant. It's about something else.
