Many Comrades try to get an education at Bourgeoise schools to help better society by learning things like medicine or geography. But things can be tough sometimes, so help each other out if you're struggling in school or university!

Is it just me or capitalism is killing frugality? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've looked at shit like GPU prices, gaming culture, modern life etc.

I noticed that frugality - aka spending less - is becoming less and less of an important value thanks to planned obsolescence.

Why did I bring up frugality? Well because if everyone suddenly went frugal, corpos would lose money, so they invented planned obsolescence to maintain profit margins and force consumers to buy more.

Now, thanks to decades of normalizing this shit we now have worse-quality products than the last generation, money has gone worthless, and now we have new forms of cancer like crypto and NFTs.
