You're arguing with an idiot he advocates for returning to a fuedal society elsewhere in the thread.
It's crazy. They claimed they work in finance, but the lack of financial and economic knowledge coming out of their comment is saying otherwise. It's either someone is trolling or had too much red pill that they see only black and white.
I think they're just lying on the internet. "Debt is the ultimate evil and the cause of all of society's problems also fuedalism was good" is some serious high schooler shit. It's the perfect combination of complete lack of knowledge of the subject beyond a very surface level and an absolute conviction of their ideas that almost always comes from just being very young. Either that or they got into some bizarre fringe ideology where this is taught but I am not aware of one with this belief system. At first I thought it was some weird leftist thing since this is Lemmy after all but given the complete lack of knowledge of the writings of Marx and Lenin (who did not reject all of classical economics in favor of their ideas) I am really not sure.
I definitely don't work in finance lol, I'm sure I've never said that in my life
I'm a programmer who's had to learn far more about accounting and debt vehicles than I've ever wanted to know
I'm just sick of people tell me I don't know about economics because they took a few economics classes in college, and then refusing to actually make any points
I took micro and macro too, I understand the propoganda. It's just bullshit. The world hasn't worked like that for a while now, if it ever actually did
You can find plenty of economists who can explain exactly how we got here though
