  This person is not even among the unemployed reservation, so how is this about capitalism?

    They have no value to capitalism other than raw, unskilled, undifferentiated labour and consumption. They are nothing but the grease that gets mashed into the gears of the machine.

    I think humans are worth more than that, and OP’s framing.

      Please read the post. It says no job, no education. Person likely has mental illnesses, this is not about economics. The situation is political, sure, but this is not the best place to unionise.

      Ok, poet.

        Do you image that a comfortable existence for those that you assume are mentally ill isn’t gated behind economic decisions?

        Who is talking about unions?

      Nice strawman argument but this guy is a loses loser. All the basement dwellers look down on him and say oh look at him he’s pathetic.

      It’s not capitalism’s fault that this guy can’t get his life in order.

        They can’t deliver value in this system, so they have no worth, and should suffer and starve to death?

        Access to socialised education and housing seems like it would give them the opportunity to be of more value to society, no?

        It literally doesn’t even matter; he’s looking for sympathy and support which he has the right to seek out regardless of who is responsible.

        So you can choose to quibble over who should bear the blame for his problems or you can console him like you’re supposed to be doing.

      They have no value period. This is not one to defend.

        People have no value beyond what the market dictates?

        This baby is crawling in front of me? No value, no point in stepping around it - Guess I’ll stomp its skull into the pavement.

        This is deeply unhinged, and you should be institutionalised before you kill people.

      As Voltaire once said: You’re either the hammer or the anvil.

        The full quote is

        You must be either the servant or the master, the hammer or the anvil.

        Surely there was no reason to hide the argument that servants and masters are a necessity in advancement of the point you’re outsourcing to someone that died over 300 years ago in defence today’s economic structure?

  How are shareholders making money off an alcoholic NEET? Apart from him buying the cheapest possible booze they can get their hands on, obviously.

    They get labour at poverty rates under threat of homelessness and starvation, and a hungry mouth to create (limited) demand for goods.

  Banned from dating apps? Is that a thing?

  source

  • rustyfish@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You can get banned from a certain dating app, there are a lot of psychopaths dwelling. But I am not aware of some kind of black list for dating apps.

      There’s only three that actually have a decent user base, it would be quite easy to get banned from all three.
