    Yeah, and you don’t need to think on your own. Whatever the problem is, the cause is always the same. No mistake possible.

    Sure but most human issues involve multiple variables. Full spectrum discussion offers an even more realistic presentation of the problem. It doesn’t detract to discuss other things, it supplements.

  The fact that you think that’s sarcasm is troubling.

  Name a social problem, and I will tell you how it’s definitely and sanely-proven to be caused by capitalism.

    Okay, I’ll bite: Racial discrimination.

      Racial discrimination is fundamentally created by the innate fear of the Other. But it is supercharged by capitalism. Slave trade was created to create cheap expendable labor force to drive profits. When it was ended segregation and other discriminatory practices were instituted to protect the owners of businesses. These practices were systemic and we are still seeing their results.

        I get the feeling that you’re cheating a little with this one. I mentioned it, because it exists in every economic system. “Supercharged by capitalism” is a cop out.

      ever seen the US prison system? American prisons are for-profit and i think they literally qualify as slave labour, and go figure they’d prefer to enslave non-white people.

        America didn’t invent racial discrimination.
