Just wow.
Also dudes talking about the market, which isn’t the same as capitalism afaik.

If you ask ten Americans to explain capitalism, nine will simply describe a market economy
capitalism when market
socialism when state
And then eight of those nine will just describe commerce.
It’s true. Friend of mine has a politics degree from a world renowned university and still insists that capitalism existed in antiquity because people exchanged goods for currency.
Graebers “Debt” does a great job of deconstructing this. Econ 101 really creates so many brainworms.
This much better describes gift economies and pre-capitalist societies than it does capitalist ones, where the person giving you a haircut has to pay rent for the chair to a capitalist who doesn’t have to do any labor at all.
their life is better because they have the money they wanted
wanted
food cost mony
voluntary exchange
It’s not coercion because you can voluntarily choose to starve instead
(This is what liberals actually believe)
radical freedom!
giving money to someone occasionally for a service is not the same as employing them on a daily basis to extract profit from their labor
Yeah but, what if you paid someone to hire them to cut your hair?

I hate the 2 cows thing so much. If you have to distill understanding of economies down to a stupid Bible tier parable, you probably should find a different hobby lol.
On an island.
Finally, friends.
Capitalism was invented in 130,000 BC checkmate commies
If you have a Flowbee you can cut your own hair.
It certainly does suck!

The testimonials are everything I hoped for.
Hello, Hope that you are doing excellent, just thought you might appreciate this note here. I purchased this Flowbee I know definitely more than 20 years ago…maybe 25! I used this here the other day and finished my haircut and then usually after every use I turn it on and spray the blades into the unit with some WD-40. When I went to turn it on to do this…….nothing…….it finally gave out and would not turn back on……is there a lifetime guarantee on these for replacement??
just jokingWhy…do…boomers…type…like…this?
I always though that this was a Wayne’s World original joke. TIL, it existed before Wayne’s World did.
The music in the marketing video is just incredible, reminds me of totally different sorts of movies circa 80s - 90s.
You can cut your hair with just a bathroom mirror and a dull set of scissors if you’re serious about it.
“Capitalism is when something other than the government does stuff.”
MFW communists are all ancaps because they want a stateless society but don’t just want to return to monke. MFW this means I’m an ancap. MFW I have no face.
okay but what about the untold amount of emiseration in exchange for that luxury
if your argument can be thoroughly rebuked by just pointing a finger towards slavery you shouldn’t post it
“My life is better when I force these people to work for me as slaves, and their lives are better because I’m not killing them for resisting. Win-win.”
