I think a big issue is that people call things that are not capitlatist “capitalist”. The US is called capitalist, but it has the largest government in the history of the world, that is not capitalism.
Capitalism cannot exist without a government. Capitalism reaching the stage where large Capitalists wield the State both domestically and internationally to fuel their profits does not make it no longer Capitalist, that’s like saying a tree isn’t a plant because it is no longer a seed.
I was gonna disagree, but I couldn’t actually think of a functioning stateless ideology which allows private property. Anarchism is inherently for abolishing private property, so that’s out already. That mostly just leaves you with "anarcho-"capitalism which is just replacing the government with an ultra-capitalist power structure and decimating social mobility, it’s just an undemocratic state but shittier…
Yep, trying to untie Capitalism from the states that accompany it is usually just a futile attempt at keeping the Capitalist State’s sins separate from Capitalism.
I agree, but the bigger the government the less capitilism there is because they are controlling the system. I am not saying its good or bad, but the economic system is highly controlled.
Please read Wealth of Nations, and A Theory of Moral Sentiments. Adam Smith clearly laid out what capitalism is, and you have no clue what that word means.
There are a billion straight up shitposts in YouTube that sent my sides to the orbit of Proxima Centauro, but which I couldn’t ever find again in my life because yeah titles and SEO keywords aren’t a thing
Am I the only one that appreciates those people? I actually might be one of those people myself, the jury’s still out.
I have a coworker that LOVES math, and he dumps topology and set theories on me all the time. I don’t know what half of it means, but I find the concepts very interesting.
asa-explain Sea anemones are relatives of the jellyfish. They have these tiny hairs growing on them that they use to feed by stunning fish, shrimp, zooplankton, and so on.
But they can survive for years without food. They’re like jellyfish in that way. There are even sea anemones that have lived longer than 70 years with the proper care.
They’re found all throughout the world’s oceans, and they can slowly move too. There are also fish that live inside them called anemonefish. The sea anemones protect them from predators and share their food scraps.
In tropical waters, sea anemones latch on to coral reefs or rocks.
Starfish are echinoderms and relatives of the sea urchin. There are as many as 2,000 starfish species around the world. Not all of them are star-shaped either. There’s even a species with 30 arms.
When they get attacked by a predator, they’ll rip off their own arm to get away while the predator eats it. Their arms can regenerate, so I guess they regrow later.
Starfish can eat almost anything in the ocean. They feed by pushing their stomach out of their mouth and directly digesting their prey. Fun fact, there’s an area in Kumamoto Prefecture where they eat starfish. As you’d expect from a relative of the sea urchin, you strip the skin to eat the insides, like with sea urchins.
Even in other languages, starfish mostly have star-related names. For instance, in France they’re called…
