Capitalism is a friendship ruiner

As I get older, I’m realizing I’m losing some of my oldest friendships because of capitalism. My college friend group has slowly split into two groups over the past 15 years: the super rich corporate capitalists making over $400,000/year or the low wage artists and service professionals, who will probably never see six figures. Whether it be a friend who works for a law firm and represents mega-corps... Or an investment banker friend, with literal millions in the bank, who Venmo requests even our brokest friends for a $8 latte, the capitalists have become insufferable. Another is working for one of the biggest water polluters in the world, yet apparently cares about climate change. They all embody “socially democrat, fiscally conservative” politics which just says you’re a hypocrite.

I’ve watched the desire to hoard wealth turn these once generous and considerate people into greedy, vapid shells of themselves. They’ve all compromised their values in egregious ways and justified it in the pursuit of “making a living.” I reached a breaking point this week when one of them had the audacity to make fun of a lower ranking “poor” coworker who made “only $250,000” a year, when they know my butt barely hits $60k. Knowing how much they value your worth by the size of your bank account, I can’t even imagine what they say about me behind my back.

Anyway, I just needed to rant about how much it sucks to lose friends because they’re obsessed with money. And if anyone else is going through something similar, you’re not alone.

A high paid employee that makes the corporate machine more efficient is a capitalist. They sure as heck ain’t socialists or communists

Light roasted drama

What a dumb take. Your friends should get shitty jobs or they are shitty people? You can 100 percent participate in capitalism while finding it abhorrent. If you have a job you're just as much of a capitalist as your friends are.

So, literally anyone with a job?

Welcome to the anti work movement

I wouldn't worry about it at all since the entire fiat monetary system is on the verge of a total collapse.

Yeah the thought of any of them being able to survive without their status symbols is laughable. Money is their entire personality
