    I’m not going to bother reading the article, because you can both be anti-capitalist and participate in the system as it exists today. The developers can’t pay rent with good vibes.

      A healthy way to look at things, but also the guaranteed way to maintain the status quo. It’s funny how that works.

      They can consume less and live in cheaper areas.

      But why would they unless they’re forced to?

          That would be a start.

          They should also stop subscribing to dumb shit like netflix and spotify. Instead of using doordash, they should get comfortable making their own meals.

          We can’t expect the system to change unless a majority of its participants are willing to change.

          It’s a cultural problem, and people like you are doing your part to make sure it never gets solved.

      I view society as a poison I can use to hurt people. Very anti-capitalist, and promotes participation in capitalist society.
