- abustamam 5mo agoSo it's OK to do stuff without permission as long as we get something that makes a lot of people a lot of money?
- ajcoll5 5mo ago*"that makes a select few rich people a lot more money?"
- skupig 5mo agoIt's not OK, but it's a fact.

- micromacrofoot 5mo agohas it not always been this way?
- abustamam 5mo agoTwo things can be true. A shitty thing can prevail for a long time and still be shitty.
- micromacrofoot 5mo agoI think it's prevailed for all of human history in this case, so while shitty it appears to be a feature
- abustamam 5mo agoAgreed but "it's always been shitty" isn't a reason to do nothing about it. For much of human history slavery was fine too, but thankfully that's been dealt with in many nations. I know some folks argue that capitalism is just the next iteration of slavery but that's different.
- micromacrofoot 5mo agonot sure why you think stating facts implies nothing should be done about it slavery is still fine in the US as long as you're incarcerated, and the US still does business with countries that regularly use the old fashioned kind — hell, some people still want to bring chattel slavery back here and still proudly display the confederate flag these are just very slow things to change... in the timespan of centuries if you're lucky, but in the case of wealth bringing privilege we haven't cracked the issue for thousands of years
