You sound like someone who's on the winning side of capitalism and you can't comprehend how capitalism is making most people suffer.
He doesn't have to be on the winning side as long as the capitalists (that own all the news media) can convince him that he is.
It feels really gaslighting/dismissive to read things like this. Why is it that people who talk about concepts like capitalism assume a bunch of information about you based on a complete lack of information? Is the idea the only reason I'm not anti capitalist must either be because a) I'm rich (extremely far from the truth), or b) I'm especially susceptible to propaganda? (Which would be weird... Otherwise why would I be using Lemmy in the first place when perhaps capitalism instead suggests I should be using Reddit).
My opinion: It kind of sucks to reduce people down like this lol. Am I insane for thinking this
And you sound like someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly about people and you can't comprehend someone not having a reductionist take on generalised human suffering.
I don't think anyone here is denying people suffer from capitalism, i think they're just saying capitalism is a factor rather than the only cause, similar to how the Archduke's assassination was a factor among many in starting WW1.
This is Lemmy, where if you even hint at saying "It's not just Capitalism", you'll be downvoted into oblivion.
Don't you know how happy everyone has always been under communist and socialist governments? Not a single sad soul to be seen under those establishments! /s
