- **everything is fake**: Everything is rotten and corrupted on the inside with an extreme effort towards putting up a misleading good looking facade. TV shows, including "news", are all staged (even those swearing not to be, no producer is going to invest money in something depending on pure luck), smiles and emotion of people you meet in workplace or see on ads, women's tits, butts and faces, men's muscles, photos on social media, food that has basically no food in it, even news and facts, everything is fake. Investigating any area (government, working conditions, technology, healthcare, education, charities, academia and "[science](soyence.md)", ...) a bit in depth practically always leads to unrevealing how corrupt it actually is despite it looking nice and ideal at the first look.

- **loss of ownership**: Even that which is most saint to a capitalist -- property and the ability to own things -- is greatly lost under capitalism. This happens with the trend of everything becoming a service, a typical example of which is so called "[software as a service](saas.md)". While in the past one would buy a physical copy of a program that he would at least physically own forever, nowadays many programs become a subscription service, e.g. games, movies and music are no longer something you buy but just buy a one time ticket for. But this trend is everywhere, artificial obsolescence tries to limit durability of physical goods such electronic devices so that one has to keep consuming them like a service.

- **[rape effect](rape_effect.md)**: The mechanisms of capitalism work in such ways that everyone gets progressively more raped with any further advance of capitalism.
|
||||
- **endangering existence of all [life](life.md)**: The mentioned destruction of environment, lack of long term planning, irresponsibility and instability along with creating a dangerous overdependence on technology and interconnections of self insufficient states and cities is just waiting for a disaster such as [CME](cme.md) that immediately collapses the civilization and consequently endangers all life on Earth e.g. by meltdowns in nuclear plants or possible nuclear wars as a consequence of panic. The absolute preference of immediate profit is hostile towards investments in future and precautions. RIP.

The absolute preference of immediate profit is hostile towards investments in future and precautions. And of course even if a swift disaster is dodged, capitalism slowly destroys whole planet like a cancer and life along with it (just one illustrative example: [YouTube](youtube.md) created the business of video content consumerism and just one of countless negative phenomena this brought are e.g. the so called "primitive technology" video channels in which whole teams of people fake staged videos that show "native people" building luxury houses in the jungle with bare hands, while in fact behind the scenes they're built by whole construction teams with modern tools, who after shooting just leave the place desolated, destroyed and polluted, further contributing to the destruction of the forests). RIP.

- *"Capitalism is freedom."* -- This is of course a complete twist of the word freedom: capitalism promotes freedom of market which goes against the freedom of people. I.e. the freedom enabled by capitalism is the freedom to abuse others; the freedom to restrict freedoms of others, which is of almost the polar opposite of genuine freedom.

- *"In capitalism everyone can make it if he only works hard."* -- This is firstly of course not even logically possible, it's just as claiming that everyone can win the Olympic games; to reach the top in an extremely competitive system not only do you have to work hard, you also have to be born with the right talent, in the right place, to the right family, and be immensely lucky to be in right places in right times and make correct guess decisions in situations in which it is impossible to know the correct decision. Even if you work 24/7 without sleep, there will be thousands of others who do the same, your success is a pure bet on lottery. **Capitalist fairy tales make heavy use of the [survivorship bias](survivorship_bias.md)** -- you will see movies only about the successful people who are asked how they achieved success and who answer along the lines "I just worked hard". Indeed they did, but this doesn't imply that anyone working hard will succeed, this is the same as taking an advice from a lottery winner; if you ask a lottery winner how he won the lottery, he will simply say "I bet all I had on a random number". Following such advice is of course just about the worse decision you can make. If everyone can make it, why doesn't everyone do it, why don't we have a world consisting exclusively of billionaires?

- *"Capitalism just works, capitalism is natural, capitalism means [progress](progress.md) etc."* -- **Capitalism doesn't work, it's just hard to get rid of.** Progress isn't dependent on capitalism, progress can't be stopped and will be here even without capitalism, on the contrary, capitalism mostly smothers the good kind of progress, e.g. by inventing intellectual property it prevents full utilization of us having the technology for unlimited sharing and reusing of information. If it "works and is natural", then it works and is natural natural in the same way as for example cancer or wars. This doesn't mean we should support it or see it as something positive. Most of other similar lies are discussed in sections above.

- *"Capitalism produces best quality products for lowest prices."* -- An extremely prevailing myth that is a complete 100% lie, it is enough to take a look at anything produces in capitalism and before it, for example in countries that switched from "communism" to capitalism. Capitalist products last about 1% of the time they normally would due to artificial obsolescence and consumerism, they are littered with [DRM](drm.md), [bloat](bloat.md), surveillance technology, made from cheapest material, designed to break, show ads and so on. Capitalism aims to produce the lowest quality product that will just barely be accepted, anything better is wasting profit. { As a curiosity compare for example movie dubbings in countries during "communist" and later capitalist eras (e.g. Hungary or Czechia) -- ask the people who live there, they will tell you the old dubbing was art, made with care, the new dubbing is a hasted shit produced as cheaply and quickly as possible. ~drummyfish }

- Fairy tales about about the rich "capitalist altruist": you will hear stories about famous capitalists that paint them as nice guys who give to poor for free, who do manual work despite not having to etc. This is just part of cult of personality propaganda and applying cheap populist tricks to deceive masses. A rich guy giving $100 to a poor kid on camera is an extreme powerful marketing that costs $100, which for a billionaire is of course a laughable cost. The fact is that every billionaire is the best player of the most dirty game humanity has invented and researching any such guy reveals, basically in 100% of cases, that he was in fact the worst imaginable psychopath -- Edison killed animals with electric current as part of marketing, the owner of McDonald's stole the idea and know-how from McDonald brothers ALONG WITH their own name, similar thing happened with KFC, Steve Jobs was infamous for his psychological pressure on workers equating torture, the working condition's in Ford's factories were basically the same as those for black African slaves, etcetc. **Trying to find a rich man that's good is like trying to find a shark who's a vegetarian.**

- "You sometimes have to suffer unpleasant things in life." -- It is true that living a good life involves SOMETIMES voluntarily choosing to undergo suffering for things you feel are MORALLY GOOD. Capitalists turn this on its head and tell you: you have to suffer CONSTANTLY and do things you hate and know that are MORALLY WRONG, because that's "how life is" (because we made it to be that way). See the difference, refuse to conform.
