I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.
Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.
The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as “we’ll just handle it”) plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.
Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.
why do you expect random people on the internet to be smart enough to be able to have a position and defend it for such a complex thing as the economy?
I think you’ll find a lot of nuance for more specific matters, but not for something this complex and abstract. You’ll mostly get emotional responses and opinions. If you want to have an intellectual discussion on economics, I don’t think this is the right place.
You could also be part of the solution and create a community for that type of content. You could be in charge of moderating it, to keep away the users that you consider are echo-chambering without actual contributions… I mean, if you really care about actual solutions.
I don’t expect much, just that when I’m having a discussion about how to engage in grassroots efforts to fix smaller scale problems, I don’t have a third chime in with “global revolution now, only answer or shut up”
