What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? (lemm.ee)

No it does not, but it has been tested several times over and has failed every single time. At some point we should focus on improving what we have instead. No amount of downvotes will change that.

I don't know where you are from, but I do not feel like I live in a exploitative and fucked up system. Northern Europe for reference.

Good for you, IMHO you're some combination of lucky and ignorant of the plight of others or the damage your system has done to others not quite as lucky.

You calling me ignorant while displaying a complete lack of understanding of basic history is just sad.

I don't support your proven oppressive and evil form of rule. I never will and most people won't. You can keep telling yourself that we are all vicious evil capitalists for disagreing with you, but I guarantee you I support more socialist causes than you ever will.
