But without infinite growth how can we feed the capitalistic engine with more souls?
Just think of all them empty mines, sad and alone, only wanting to be filled with the sound of children coughing themselves to death from black lung.
I'm sure that big bad capitalists will be sad of you not having kids and spending all your time and money on movies, games, traveling, ...
What money?
Lol, I'm not far-left but I do love comments like these.
It's important to note that capitalism is far from the only major exploitative system in the world. This said, I'm part of that particular system, and yes... It truly does feel like we're just cogs in an ever-hungry, broken system.
