How I came to dislike living in a capitalist society

This is the home of all topics from the old forum. ontic-philosophy.com was the original incarnation of this site back in 2017/18 which was ran on a myBB platform. A Tree Stump (formely Ontical) saved a backup of the site before taking it down. In 2025 the forum was ressurected into a Buddypress/phpBB site on indieagora.com and then into this new Atrium custom build platform on indieagora.com. Feel free to add to the discussions and to ressurect old posts. You can also add new topics if you like.

I've set up a system to block social media websites (including this one) for chunks of time throughout the day, the amount of time they're unblocked is about an hour at a time. I can of course unblock them myself, but the easiest way for me to unblock them during the time when they should be blocked only gives me a small window of a few minutes. Consuming all this content, you're becoming a product of said capitalist society. I generally refuse to waste my time engaging with content just to see what content other people engage with. It's completely dire. It's like an alien world to me, some of the stuff I've seen from your posts. I guess most of it is the extremities of society. Taken out of context quite often. I hate reaction videos especially when they set themselves up as the superior being, as if they're a god looking down from the heavens on their subjects, watching their antics, the antics which [[[[[[[ lost word,,,, meaning arisen, unforeseen behaviour, a system which produces behaviour that could not have been predicted ]]]]]]]..
