I can’t believe capitalism pulled this one off again. How do you keep outdoing yourself? Truly remarkable, in the most depressing way imaginable.

Remember back when civilization meant something positive? Like "these people figured out that shitting into your drinking water supply is not the best idea, and eventually managed to reduce child mortality rates and extend lifespans"?
When did it start meaning "we choose kids wanking over who can shit into the drinking water supply the most to lead us"? And we don't care because drinking water was never good anyway, you should just buy the bottled stuff.

In capitalism, the hungry are jailed for taking bread, while the rich feast untouched, and call it justice.

Something about Polish people, and probably more.
First, they discovered that if they skip the middleperson and buy straight from the producer, they can pay less.
Then, they discover that if they buy from shady middlepeople, they can pay less.
Then, they discover that if they buy straight from China, they can pay less.
They never discover that if they stopped all the manipulations, they could actually earn more.

Some people are beyond recovery, especially fascists.

Today I heard that someone "blew off bubbles in [brand] app and won a bracelet". How low are people going to fall in the name of blind consumerism?

Capitalism is great! You work to earn the right to starve..... wait a minute......

I wonder what made them decide to sell it and not rent…

Some billionaire is probably feeling empty right now, proof that no amount of wealth can fill the void created by a system built on inequality.

Today I've figured out how to reply when another couch philosopher tells you that obviously "there are job offers, it's just people who are too lazy to work". You just ask them "then why aren't you changing jobs?"
Free market is clear on this: if the supply of job positions exceeds demand, wages rise. And if employers lack employees, then they're ready to pay more, so you benefit from changing jobs! Isn't capitalism just great?

Living in a capitalist society makes me simultaneously hate and understand some things.
Back when the Sunday shopping ban was set in Poland by one of the right-wing parties (with some exceptions for petty capitalists, of course), I was outraged. Why are they forcing their religious customs on me?! But nowadays, I do realize that in a capitalist society, where employment laws are full of loopholes and employers explicitly punish employees for taking a day off, an obligatory no-business day is the only way.
On top of that, after living next to a supermarket for a few years… this is literally the only way to have a quiet day, without cars driving, and car doors slamming all the time. And of course night time deliveries, because you obviously can't lose day's business over such things.
And what I hate even more are these multi-day holidays and long weekends, where suddenly all my routine falls apart, and I can't really enjoy holidays while the train timetable is randomly punctuated. But then, I do realize that obligatory multi-day holidays are the only way for many people to simultaneously have a day off and be able to meet their families and friends.
I'm not really compatible with the world I'm living in.

All my haters are broke, everybody else is a victim of capitalism.

I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy gifts.
I can get why people would give them to children. After all, children don't have their own budget. However, I'm talking about occasional gifts, not a new toy every second week, because "we must outcompete the other grandparents". But to adults?
Once I've heard that you should gift people with what they won't buy themselves. Well, that's won't work for me. I'm a minimalist. If I don't need something, I don't want to have it. Unnecessary junk is only emotional burden to me.
I can get why you'd enjoy something handmade. But something people bought? If I need something, I can buy it myself, when I need it. And I definitely don't need people to prove to me that they never cared to learn who I am, and just buy whatever they like or whatever is "fashionable"; which usually means exactly the opposite of what I'd prefer (i.e. something minimalistic). Or even worse, I don't need people manipulating me through gifts.
Sweets? Besides my diabetes, I don't really enjoy expensive shit that people generally buy because it's what's advertised. For the money they waste on it, I'd buy three times as much sweets I'd actually enjoy.
Gift cards? Oh yes, "you aren't supposed to give money, so let's just give the equivalent of money that's actually worth less than money". Actual money? And here we reach the true nonsense; we exchange the same amount of money, so it's just pointless gesture. Unless one of us gives less money…
What I'd really like, as a gift? Maybe that people would finally bother accepting me as who I am. The absolute minimum of caring that I hate consumerism, and not fueling it "for me".

I’ll never understand how someone can claim to be a leftist while still supporting parties that defend and sustain capitalist exploitation.

Capitalism is the iron cage in which human potential withers, an economic despotism that breeds inequality, alienation, and the hollowing of community life.
