    It’s a global issue though. Capitalism is demanding cheap labor fodder, and sooner or later societies will crack. See how in the whole western world, which has a comparatively high living standard, fascism Is on the rise?

      Yeah the problem is that the world is kind of running out of dictatorships and underdeveloped countries that “first world countries” can exploit without a second thought - so the reality of having to adapt to a far less glamorous life will have to settle in sooner or later for a lot of those richer countries as there is a huge divide between their lifestyle and moral values.

      So the easiest solution for a lot of them is to put moral values aside and be egoistic and imho that’s what leading to a lot of the shitty stuff that we see happening today all over the world.

      The only way to keep living while exploiting people halfway across the world is telling yourself that those people are “worth less” and there you have the necessary first step for racism/fascism/populism to latch onto
