  No, capitalism is destroying the world. Capitalism promotes greed, but the base issue is the system that favors and rewards these behaviors.

  Look at it this way- you may be the most equitable and charitable motherfucker in the real world, but if you sit down to play Monopoly with your family, you will become a vile corporate money hoarder and at some point someone will get so furious you’ll be finding those little red house pieces in odd corners of your home for years.

    Not the same as it ever was by a longshot. It is very much worse than it ever was, because the engagement to profit has been weaponized and dictates how the entirety of our global civilization fundamentally works.

    It is most certainly not the same as it has historically been.

    Except now the level of wealth, influence, and power of a few has reached new levels accelerating the erosion of our planet in a fraction of the time.

      Same as it ever was. Today’s incomprehensible horrors will seem quaint and simple 100 years in the future.

    I’m curious which of their stuff you don’t like; Drew is one of the few people I subscribe to on youtube. They’re fairly funny, they don’t upload that often, and they seem to be genuine in terms of only making content when they think they’ve got something entertaining, interesting, or important. Even in the sillier videos, the deeper messaging is usually something related to exposing dark patterns.
