    Umm, no it’s not “natural”. I mean sure hoarding is natural, but so is taking care of each other. Disciplining or expelling greedy fucks is also natural.

    The stock market is completely un-natural in almost every thinkable way.

      You might’ve noticed I put natural in quotes, meaning I don’t actually think it’s a natural system in itself. The only thing I said is that it evolved out of our nature. I explained what I meant here.

          Well, it has a lot to do with “conservative” (fascist) dogwhistles and the culture of faux-rationalism they’ve built around people like Jordan Peterson as he preaches a sociopathic doctrine of bootlicking and heirarchy worship but there’s a whole ecosystem to unpack there so I’ll just leave this short video by Cody Johnston instead, because I think he does the best job of laying out the case in an easy to digest way overall:

              The OP parroted Peterson’s manifesto that “capitalism is the natural heirarchy.”

              You really should be more aware of these things if you’re going to join the commie instance, it’s actually embarrassing for you to not recognize it immediately.

                I’ve literally never read/seen anything by Jordan Peterson.

                  Oh, you’ll love him then, since he pretends to believe everything you said oh so coincidentally.
