Some retirement saving schemes may be a pyramid scheme. When the population growth stagnates, there will not be enough young people to produce for everyone.

Capitalism is a scheme where finite raw materials are being extracted and where finite nature is being destroyed - both on the planetary scale; once we reach the end, it will be the end.
Yes it’s a hard question how to deal with this. Practically all the consumer goods somehow harm the environment.
You don’t need a 65" OLED TV because you know it’s bad for the environment.
I meant liberalism as progressivism and leftism, not economic liberalism nor libertarianism. What I mind is that herd behaviour of many fellows who downvote stuff even if it’s a plausible idea, and vice versa.
I totally agree. We can have whatever political direction that we choose, nevertheless in practice it seems the majority of Lemmy is liberal & progressive & leftist. There is obviously nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is downvoting & upvoting along these political lines and disregarding how well is each idea formulated. It does happen too often in my opinion.
I partly agree with you but I’m afraid it still won’t stop voting along political lines.
Well, I know that part about the FOSS spirit and dissatisfaction with big corporations controlling the internet. Anyhow, I’ve seen here many occasions of what I would call a tactical voting where well formulated and polite comments get downvoted.
Liberal views are like progressive and leftist.
Government intervention goes the other way: capitalists like intervening into government.
