    To be fair, on the meme they aren’t saying communism is the solution (although there any many memes that do).

    I think it’s easy to criticise capitalism because people live with it on a daily basis. If these people lived under communism they would criticise it somehow.

    This kinda reminds me of something I heard someone say. It’s something like “Democracy is shit. But it’s the best shit we have”.

    Is capitalism right? Nope. But I don’t feel like communism would be a solution either. But I’m all up for criticising whatever needs criticising otherwise things don’t improve/change.

    Also speaking as an European we might not have it as bad as the US (which is where most people are from here). Just the fact that our healtcare is free is a huge plus. When I was younger I dreamt about living in the US or even just going to NY, SF etc. Now I’m afraid I might get shot, get a huge hospital bill and come back broke. 👌

  • True that’s why I don’t have any “traditional” social media, except for YouTube I guess?

    I mostly use lemmy/YouTube and from time to time I really can only find some niche community on reddit so I have to give in.

    But no political content whatsoever, that’s why lemmy shocked me a bit.

    Yeah, I’m kinda mad at all the Spez/3rd party app stuff, but the constant hate has got me thinking about leaving lemmy. It’s sad because I like the idea behind lemmy but people have no respect.

    I like hearing different sides of things but absolutely everything is political here and it’s either black or white. Ffs

    I see some Linux but I’m subscribed to a lot of techy communities. Self host, programming etc. So it’s kinda normal.

    Could be the default view on each instance… On my first account I subbed to a lot of different communities on different instances so I saw all the crap. Eventually due to all the politics bullshit I just migrated to my current instance which has hexbear and lemmygrad blocked so it’s been a lot better.

    But even so, I always see a bunch of politics crap on the memes community.
