hey, listen, I get where you’re coming from but I don’t think this one is capitalism’s fault. I really don’t think capitalism is responsible for the general concept of social ostracism. We can’t just use capitalism to mean “bad thing-ism” we gotta remember that some words mean things

I think this one is capitalism *and* colonialism.

colonialism also didn't invent social ostracism I'm sorry

I feel like capitalism is at least partially responsible for how whether or not you're 'likeable' enough to be employed dictates whether or not you have a roof over your head or food in the fridge. Like, yeah social ostracism isn't new or unique to capitalism, but I do think modern capitalism in particular has simplified the line between 'how others perceive you' and 'how likely you are to be/become homeless/arrested/institutionalised/fired/killed 'in self defence'/deported/etc'

Also if you think likability is too important in capitalism, you should maybe consider what happens if someone in a communist society takes a dislike to you.

I HATE CAPITALISM WHERE MY SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON BEING USEFUL TO OTHER PEOPLE AND LOVE COMMUNISM WHERE MY SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON BEING USEFUL TO THE STATE

I can, and arguably I must.

I always think that sport events, especially international ones, are primarily about fun and cultural exchange and hanging out together; it gets lost sometimes when people pay too much attention to keeping scores, but joy and building bridges should be more important. So glad this seems to be happening right now!
