boost this toot if capitalism is garbage

· Web · 86 · 32

@blackle capitalism is not garbage. It served its purpose and brought a lot of positive improvements to the world compared to previous production systems. Nonetheless it is time to evolve it in something more sustainable and fair. Echoing slogans on a social network won't help to achieve this.

@chobeat so... don't boost the toot then?

@blackle @chobeat dunno about that. Echoed slogans on social media caused me to revise my neo-liberal beliefs years ago. Still do, as a matter of fact.

@yayzerbeam @blackle

still, changing people's minds is useless if they don't act. The culture of words, the culture of slogans, convinced a whole generation that their opinions matter, that what they say and think can change the world. I still need to see it in action.

In the past, political proselitism worked in a totally different way but we believe that social slacktivism is a mirrored modern version of that, when it is not.
