    Proving once again that every man-made problem on Earth can be solved through appropriate resource allocation, which is only hindered by those hoarding the wealth, and those in our governments whom they pay to protect their wealth from practical use.

      It’s not really a solution as it will be a perpetual requirement until we just stop putting out so much plastics

      Wait, but it’s on track to being completed. I think this doesn’t support your argument people think it supports.

      I mean, in this individual instance, people with money gathered together and started solving a global problem. The poor people didn’t do shit. The hoarders of wealth gave freely to fix the problem. Capitalism saved the day here, comrade. Now, quit littering, so they don’t have to do it again.

        The garbage patch isn’t even primarily from people littering. The majority is from agricultural and fishing industry.

                  It’s futile to fight this type of internet rhetoric with logic. The sophomoric arguments of pure communism, socialism, or capitalism are made from great minds of the early 1900’s. Yet people in lemmy flock together behind “capitalism” is bad.

                  Why use logic against childish arguments. It’s more satisfying to poke at the echo chamber.
