“Capitalism isn’t evil just because you suck at life”

“Capitalism isn’t evil just because you suck at life” is a saying that has been printed on several images. Some people want collective responsibility for their own failures.

” Just because capitalism isn’t working for you, probably because you suck at life, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Capitalism favors those who try, and you seem like a loser” was posted on X/Twitter by Ukraine Trans Movement on November 11, 2022. “Capitalism isn’t bad because you suck at life” was posted on X/Twitter by drewisgod6372 🐍🎩 on June 14, 2023. “Capitalism isn’t evil just because you suck at life” (shown on an image) was posted on Facebook by Fabian Cabrales on March 15, 2024.

“Stop blaming your poor life choices on capitalism” is a related saying.

So I provide a legitimate source and anecdote, and you bring… nothing. Just because capitalism isn’t working for you, probably because you suck at life, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Capitalism favors those who try, and you seem like a loser.

I love how all retired and unemployed ppl love socialism. Just because you suck at life and have failed capitalism doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.

Capitalism is nothing more than the decentralized, distributed control of resources to appropriators.
All other economic systems require central planning.
Contrary to your claim, Capitalism is maximal freedom which you apparently don’t like because you suck at life.
