The people who are willing to do more unethical stuff to make a profit make more of a profit, and become more powerful as a natural consequence, so the problem is with the system that incentives this and brings it to the top

Then I am confused why you would disagree with the left, that the political philosophy of capitalism, liberalism, is to blame.

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It's just that the right blames the capitalism on the left and the left blames the capitalism on the right, and the actual liberals end up being barely opposed

I don't know what the takeaway from that should be, it's just an observation/simplification that feels generally true
