Uhh yeah, capitalism breeds narcissists.
You pretty have to have zero to no empathy to be successful in today's economy

Maybe we as a society should rethink what personality traits we are incentivizing

Why are you acting like you gotta be soy to acknowledge capitalism rewards amoral people? How many times do rich people have to frick kids for you to understand this obvious truth?

Every system ever has rewarded bullies, Stalin, Caesar, Napoleon weren't wholesome chungus Redditors. It's just comes off as whiney when you pretend only capitalism is doing that

True it's just capitalism is in power now, and I suppose it'd be especially upsetting to the suckers that bought into the propaganda that capitalism is strictly meritocratic

There are valid critiques of capitalism, but blaming your own failures on capitalism while simultaneously actively participating in subs dedicated to some of the biggest capitalist time wasters (triple A videogames, marvel movies) is absolutely capital S Soy.

I'm pretty leftist on economics (I'm literally a stupidpol user) but Redditors have the ability to blame everything on capitalism and really cheapen legit criticisms of capitalism and neoliberalism. It's really the fault of the vast majority of American leftists being failed PMC who did not get the elite college degree jobs they were promised and are incredible neurotic. It also ends up making economic leftism look like an ideology of weak, learned helplessness (not entirely wrong) which ends up pushing more men into the right-wing as they end up looking like the side of masculinity, stoicism, and self-sufficiency.
TLDR; it's truly over for leftoidcels

As a neolibroid myself, it's really true. I think it's the elite overproduction hypothesis manifest. It's pervasive on Reddit because it caters to that mentality. I think the same thing happened in my homeland or /r/nl back in 2020. The succs of reddit invaded, held a coup and now it's a gangbang of whining. Inflation definitely btfo the AOC and MMT simps, but overall it's a Progressive sub anymore. Because there are genuine critiques of capitalism, and part of that is finding solutions to those critiques other than handling the means of production over to a vanguard of part time dog walkers.

I think the best comment I saw about this phenomenon was on stupidpol which was that “no 14 year old boy wants to grow up and be a real life soyjak”

The “thought leaders” of American leftism are the people who graduated from good universities but couldn't get the elite jobs their peers got. Instead, they became journ*lists, government workers, academics, and other shit that pays much less. Because of this, they feel inferior and all their actions are a result of this envy

The vanguards of leftoidism in general has pretty much always been the petty nobility and children of the lower end upper class/upper middle class. Rich enough to get an education and somewhat frick off and do what they want while holding luxury beliefs but not rich enough to have powerful connections and to not have to worry about money at all.

How is it amoral give people what they want, which is all capitalism is? There's some unsavoury wants people have but that's not capitalisms fault, it's your own sinful nature

Because desire is independent of morality, and so is anything in service of desire. Amorality isn't evil, it just is the absence of moral judgement. Capitalism is God without morality basically.

That's what elites have been doing for all of history, capitalism or not. For every Epstein there's a Beria.
