@howl@social.zxq.co @lain@pleroma.soykaf.com @Wolf480pl@niu.moe regulations are an out-of-capitalism mechanism. It just shows the problem is capitalism in itself.
The functions of capitalism leads to child labor, mass surveillance, and environmental disasters. This is empirically observable.
Does it mean capitalism is broken? No. Not for the goals it is trying to achieve. Is it a tragedy for humans? Yes. But that's two different things.

@alxcndr@mastodon.social @howl@social.zxq.co @lain@pleroma.soykaf.com so IOW, capitalism is one of the forces that govern the world, but not the only one. Letting it be only one would be like saying "we have gravity, it's enough, we don't need electromagnetic, or nuclear forces anymore, the wourld should work with just gravity"

@howl@social.zxq.co @lain@pleroma.soykaf.com @Wolf480pl@niu.moe Denying that the source of this tragedies is capitalism is counter productive. That's like trying to keep a tumor inside a human body, because it might stop being a threat to it, at _some_ point. Regulations are just patches,they are not solving the problem once and for all.
