I’d consider myself somewhere between spiritual and maybe kind of pagan, idk

Most of my practice revolves around plants and crystals (no I’m not going to sell you some alternative medicine bullshit, science and spirituality are separate and any mixture doesn’t end well) ex catholic so I burrow small aspects from that but tend to avoid it mostly. Been looking into deities lately but haven’t integrated any into my primary stuff yet.

Also been doing stuff with a tarot deck lately, that’s been fun

    “Capitalism”, as in those with more wealth having more power, has permeated humanity since forever. The most democratic, theocratic, dictatorial, communist, etc. societies, have all been, and keep being, capitalist at their core, with only a veneer of the flavor of the year.

    I’d say capitalism is intrinsic to humanity… and I don’t see any alternative addressing that core tenet. Most of humanity either exploits it, or doesn’t care at all, which leads me to having very little trust into any solution ever coming from the human side.

      The egregiously exploitative flavor of capitalism that exists today is a relatively recent development. I don’t think it’s intrinsic to humanity at all; humanity has been communist for most of our existence. Also, capitalism has a specific meaning; it means the means of production can be privately owned, and that owner gets to decide how many breadcrumbs to give to the workers.
