I understand. You refuse to accept something that is fairly obvious for many Lemmy users and want to put a burden of proof on me, and because I don’t want to take on additional work for someone I neither know nor agree with, you are happy to keep your opinion, as am I to keep mine.

Ok, Stalin

Oh there certainly is. You gotta read those comment threads yourself.

It’s popped up in this one, too. It’s really curious how you can read and write enough to answer here, but not see that.

What’s your view on Trump?

That’s very abstract and doesn’t mean much. With as many words you can say capitalism is based on scientific reasoning.

I’m not even American yet still in “the west”, and refuse to be identified by American subpar ways of determining people in power.

Just to understand what you are saying, do you say communists apply scientific reasoning?

Here are some properties of any conspiracy theory worth it’s name:

• Closed Ideological Systems: They provide an all-encompassing explanation for various events or states, with everything fitting into their worldview.
• Immunity to Facts: Any contrary evidence is dismissed as false or considered part of the conspiracy.
• Enemy Construction: They tend to draw a clear line between “us” (those who “know the truth”) and “them” (the supposed conspirators).
• Adaptability: Conspiracy narratives can change and incorporate new “evidence” or events to maintain their credibility.

It matches for QAnon and the MAGA crowd as well as the lemmygrad crowd.

Another repeating problem is the vast generalizations. Treating “the West” as if they’re all Bush Jr. or Reagan.

Nope. Comment threads don’t work like that.

And the remainder of lemmy is the capitalist establishment?

Then why the change?

When you celebrate a life event in church you go home with a new Bible.

I don’t even need to buy them. They just pile up unread. One of them has nice art in it.

If you have to work in order to pay your bills you are not a successful capitalist. And it doesn’t matter whether you freelance or not.

That’s way too simplistic. It’s not just big corporations that block each and every measure to mitigate climate change.

Ask a small home owner, or car owner, why they are against climate change measures. They will point out that their life would need to change, and that’s why.

Climate is fucked primarily because people are unwilling to look around the next corner. That corporations are the same is more a property of them being comprised of people rather than capitalism per se.

Capitalism would work with wind and solar parks just as well as with coal.
