This is one of those “you can eat or starve” kind of arguments made to back up how “free” we are.
No pesky people demanding you live. And your family can watch you struggle, because they’re broke from a medical bill, but at least you got schedule flexibility in a nation where rent is outpacing inflation.
Abstract nonsense. Reductionist garbage.
Celebrating the percent of people on poverty going down 2% emotionally ignores the raw number of people in poverty and creates an emotionally distorted psychology of motivation.
It’s no different in waving away the effects of such a crap wage for given the extent of financial inequality when we also know there are empty rooms everywhere.
Unfortunately, the landlords can’t rent them for obscene profit so whatever but there’s flexibility in this like you can’t imagine! What? Other real externalities? Have I mentioned to scheduling flexibility!?!
Why? You’re able to box this out in a customized context (and it is since social political intuition is subjective to one’s experience).
It’s important to be able to think critically and with nuance, of course, why must avoiding “harming capitalism” when capitalism causes tons of harm across contexts of science and culture, be avoided?
It’s not a person it’s ideological guidelines. Surely jabbing at any ideology as frequently as the public wishes must be tolerated in a free society.
So why the boxing in and protectionism of capitalism at all? Whatever this reality is it’s obviously only moving towards it’s destruction.
Why should clinging to historical emotional objects be a priority of our critical thinking education in a universe smashing itself apart?
Why capitalism? Or Catholicism? Certainly other frameworks would achieve a similar statistical balance of haves versus have nots, since real logistical distribution mirrors monarchism, and other historical hierarchies.
If that’s what we’re going for, why the pretense? Just legislate gamed logistical distribution as a goal. No need for syntactic jargon unless the real goal is obscurantism.
Numbers don’t lie: capitalism is just another generational emotional game, obligation to defer to hierarchy, like the others humanity binned. What’s so important about it?
