When its not profitable to feed people, we let them starve
As opposed to our hunter gatherer days, or subsistence agriculture days, where everyone just lounged around leisurely? Name one time in human history where life was not filled with hard work. You just said it yourself: our labor has conquered scarcity. Labor! I fucking hate this meme, jfc.
Humans have had to work to feed themselves under every -ism ever tried. It's wrong to sit here blaming capitalism. This meme is just plain old dumb. Happy to discuss further if you actually want a conversation on good faith.
