I'm still using revanced. Is that not considered good anymore?

I said this to myself. Tapped comments. Not disappointed.

UK conservatives at the time were split regarding Brexit. They put the vote out to the public and the conservative party campaigned to stay possibly naively expecting the vote to be in their favour.

Ah okay 👍

May well be bs but for different reasons.

Algae is an alternative fuel and has no link to fossil fuels. This takes an existing but expired fuel and extracts usable material, or so it says. In any case they aren't comparable.

Sigh, I knew you were trolling, but tried not to jump to conclusions. Quick look at your profile and I see you are having several simultaneous bad-faith arguments on multiple threads. I feel stupid for falling for it. Will block and move on.

Everything

Everything? Like everything?

How can anyone have a discussion if you blanket the world in a single argument.

Edit: There are some questionable (more than that, but trying to be polite) surrogate practices in post-soviet countries such as Ukraine/Georgia.

Where I'm from surrogate for financial gain is illegal, and where I'm currently living surrogacy is banned entirely.

What should prevent something like this from occurring in the first place, is ethics, not capitalism. Sure, I agree that any large enterprise in a capitalist environment would be influenced by capitalist tendencies, but the same decisions could be made in a socialist world. That is what makes me say "its not capitalism", as these decisions could be made for a variety of reasons and in this case it doesn’t look to be financially motivated. It may become financially motivated down the line, but you can't blame the economic system at the time.

I wasn't accusing you directly, and this is social media, not a white paper. The point being that it is easy to just paint "capitalist" on everything and argue how it is bad, however that is a lazy rhetoric and instead feels like just being cynical and fault-finding for the sake of it.

Neither the meme itself or the article it is referring, mention financial gain as the motivator.

I am cynical of capitalism as much as the other, but each story/article should be discussed in good faith with evidence to corroborate any accusation of cause. In this case, I don't agree capitalism is the cause, and if you do, I'm open to discussion if its not in bad-faith.
