Hi all,

I'm seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I'm wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I'm pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn't the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I'm happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

Ehh it's probably mostly kids who have been handed everything to them their entire life and when they realize they need to start providing for themselves after their parents kick them out of the basement they get mad because they don't want to do anything but play videogames and get paid. They don't realize the only reason they have videogames to begin with is because of capitalism.

It could also be people who spent all this money to go to school for useless degrees and when they find out their "gender studies" degree doesn't make as much as an actual useful degree they also get upset.
