I'm tired...

Capitalism is fundamentally, ideologically opposed to a good quality of life for virtually all human beings.

Except for the handful of sociopaths that get to live like kings while you struggle to stay alive.
- That’s just the thing. It’s bad for the sociopaths also because we’re feeding into their delusions. Their hoarding is also an illness.
  Even if we argue that the sociopaths benefit, billionaires are a vanishingly small slice of humanity.
That's not true at all. Capitalism has many flaws, but your claim is simply false.
I'm guessing you're conflating capitalism with the deeply non-capitalist legal structures that have been erected on top of it in most of the world. One of the most common examples is corporate welfare, which is exactly as capitalist as welfare for private citizens. I'm not trying to attack or defend welfare with this statement, but I am emphasizing that that's not how capitalism works.
- States controlled by bourgeois interests are a consequence of Capitalism and an extension of it, not some random freak occurance.
- I’m open to learning. How does capitalism avoid the infinite concentration of wealth into the hands of one eventually?
- Regulatory capture is actually a core feature of capitalism.

I'm fine with billionaires going to space. I just have a problem with them coming back to Earth.

I know the punchline is good as it is but i like to point out that it is actually easier to launch billionaries out of the solar system than into the sun

And leave that trash in space? Litterbug!
What about deep down in the ocean? I heard of some recent tests...
But then they might come back?
- Not if we superglue and then tie them to the seat. And give them no controls on the inside. And just play a loop of “nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Hey, hey, hey. Goodbye.” Not even the whole song. Just that part, on infinite loop.
Just blow up the ship ffs
What's wrong with an orbit that'll decay into the sun? That'll take even less energy.
Lemmy is as bad as Reddit for these stupid pop-sci talking points.

I think you are greatly overestimating the easiness of send cargo to the sun

With the trillions they steal from the rest of us we should be able to fund the project fairly easily.
- When your ship is going to the Sun, it has to cancel out nearly all of the orbital motion it inherited from Earth. In order to have the ship drop straight down towards the Sun on a one-way collision course, the ship would have to leave Earth’s sphere of influence at a relative velocity of 30 km/s.
  But remember, Earth’s gravity will try to pull the ship along with it, so in reality you’d have to depart from Earth at a relative velocity of about 31.6 km/s (70,700 mph). That’s nearly twice as fast as the ship would have to go in order to escape from the Sun.
  The parker solar probe cost was about 1.5 billions. A fully manned one way Mars mission would cost about 20 billions going by the cheaper estimate.
  The same one way mission going to the sun would be 10k times more expensive.
  About 2 hundred trillions USD
  By 2022, total earth GDP was about 100 trillions.
  Yeah it's not happening anytime soon
Stupid question: do asteroids hit the sun, or do they get pushed away by the sun and melt?
- If you have pretty much any lateral velocity, you'll end up in a highly elliptical orbit and miss the sun

I think people should reevaluate doing that to billionaires. I just learned that it would take more energy to fire something into the Sun than it would to shoot it out of the Solar System. We could get more done aiming in the other direction.

You don't need to hit the sun dead center to incinerate something in the sun, just get it within the orbit of mercury and it'll take care of itself.
Also what's wrong with firing it into an orbit that'll decay into the sun? You don't need to 1 shot these things.
- Technically we’re all on a slowly decaying orbit into the sun 🌞
I bet good ol' guillotines are much cheaper
Err, no wrong, bad physics.
Also, the guillotine requires no such bullshit.

I say fire pit roasted, like a pig bbq.

It’s difficult, but I try to remember this and enjoy the absurdity of it all. So, thanks for the reminder.

Sounds impractical the system always ends up with a 1% that had most of the wealth

frightened that you will [...] die old

What's the problem?

You can't be entirely capitalist but you can't be entirely socialist as well.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
