minus-squareOrteilGenou@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoYep. Hard to tell from a pure capitalist point of view. I’m firmly in the “suckers” camp.
minus-squarePsychedSy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoI don’t think greed is necessary. I’d argue markets exist to cater to human wants and needs. If someone is using an inherently fucky system (as all non-voluntary systems are to some extent) to find happiness, then it’s working at least a little.
