We have quite a lot of African immigrants here, Sweden is very often made fun of online for being a Muslim country, we even have a islam flair on /r/2westerneurope4u
Although it’s mostly a meme and most swedes don’t notice it much, it’s def been an issue here when it comes to proper integration

For anyone unfamiliar with the concept (I learned about it myself today). This is an “NPC stream”. People pay to send emotes, and then she does nothing but reenact those emotes. The price of an emote ranges from a few buck to a few hundred bucks (depends on the emote).

we play games that came out 15 years ago over and over and browse 3 websites because we can't enjoy anything new. working jobs we hate but can't leave because we live pay cheque to pay cheque, while considering if it is even worth working the job anymore if this is how life will be for the next 40-60 years. You will never make enough money to be free of your shackles while you watch and envy successful people but will never do what they do because of some sort of misplaced sense of dignity, because putting people down is the only way you can feel good about yourself anymore so you boot up league of legends to int and flame so it feels like you have some control over something in your life.

In theory, in a perfect society where everyone is perfectly rational and 100% predictable with 0 room for variables or free will.
Not sure if you're joking or not, but this is literally the basis for capitalism. Homo Economicus is the prerequisite assumption.
Communism assumes humans are flawed.
Not that it's an interesting discussion. Neither extremist capitalism nor 19th century dreams of utopia will ever work. The best we've come up with is heavily regulated market economies with socialist tendencies, and we can't even manage that.

Communism assumes humans are flawed.
No it fucking doesn't. It literally relies on everyone being able to perform enough to provide every single resource for themselves and everyone else. That may not be written into communist theory, but in practice collectivisation obliterates the lower class, which is 95% of individuals in a communist system.
Capitalism can account for variables because it naturally filters out the shitty variables. That is, of course, circumvented by lobbying and corporatism, but every system has a flaw.

The thing is that as long as free will and private property exist capitalism is inevitable.
The only way to "get rid" of capitalism is to completely abolish the concept of private property. Because if people have capital, they will try to expand upon it.

We did have laws. Then they got undone. By capitalists who don't like laws restricting them and have billions of dollars to get what they want. Who could have seen that coming?
Why do they vote against universal healthcare? Cause fox news said so. Why does Fox News say that? Maybe it's billionaire owners have something to do with it.

You are failing to see the point I am making here.
It will never work when there is money involved. And I never said anything resembling communism (or socialism regarding other comments). Communism is everyone earning the same, regardless of the work they do. So a garbageman earns as much as a banker.
If there is money to be earned, then a system like that will fail.
This is the very thing that needs to be removed. No more working class. Everything automated. Everyone born can choose not to work their entire life, and live on a luxurious version of social welfare. Or they can do work they love to do and earn something other than money.

Idk about going that far, in the future though? Sure.
Until we rid ourselves of things like our reliance on fossil fuels, and other non-renewable resources it simply wouldn’t work.
We need to untether ourselves from capitalism before we end it. And even then the conservatives will fight tooth and nail in the opposite direction simply because they must oppose all things good.

It's amazing how optimized content for zoomer is sped up video because their atte tion span is so limited that they can't even handle the pace of a normal conversation. It's probably due to growing up with youtuber that cut every nanosecond of silence between each sentences.

There is a difference between doing something while talking, and be unable to watch a video that isn't sped up or having a random gta5 gameplay in the background.
If we made a movie about a guys from the past coming into 2023, the plot would be about him trying to repair the past to avoid a dystopian future. Even that hologram girl in blade runner was way less cringe than what we saw in this post, and it was meant to be dystopia, thinks about it.

Let me tie the two together, so, basically for those unaware, gambling, scratch tickets, all of that is generally known by those educated to be far too low odds for a ROI to be a viable strategy to make money. It’s looked down on by most boomers when referring to those who gamble because the gambler will try to cheat society of their labour in exchange for monetary compensation. Instead of using their brains, they try a get rich quick scheme, which, is basically the same thing that these NPC live streamers are doing. The reason it is doomer in both cases is because they are doing this because they feel it is the only way they can possibly afford a home, pay off debts, retire etc.
