Because no viable alternatives have been shown to work.
Capitalism has proven it definitely doesn’t work, we’re careening toward ecological collapse.
Humans existed without state, and therefore with (likely multiple coexisting) informal economic systems for hundreds of thousands of years, I’d say that has been show to work.

I saw someone make a comment like this and it’s what I think every time I hear this kinda shit.
Sure Ok, now their part of the deal – the corporations making and selling this food agree to (they’d need to be forced to of course) stop propagandizing us, manipulating us, addicting us, and lying to us.
Bummer, I haven’t felt this sad since learning about thermodynamics.
Each downvote is like a tiny pin pricking my soul.

Nancy Reagan, who briefly dated Christopher Walken’s father before marrying the former president, shown here explaining how politics really works.
It makes sense to temporarily avoid politics to stay sane, compartmentalization. To completely avoid politics I don’t see how one is not either very low intelligence to not realize their apathy harms people, or is smarter and aware their apathy harms others and is ok with it. Either dumb or bad.
Eventually you become the joke.
They lost dream job status for me when I realized I was facilitating some evil shit. Like “oh! great job in genomics! I can help cure cancer!” Then realize it’s “oh, help China build population scale genomic sequencing, wonder what they’re gonna do with that?”
And “oh, edge computing, sounds cool”, then realizing “oh, edge computing is mostly useful for facial recognition, wonder what people will use that for?”
Mazda has very nice interiors and didn’t go the touchscreen route.
We’re in the bad place, the only way to not go insane or cry constantly in heartache is extensive use of compartmentalization. That is, you have to selectively and temporarily ignore certain things at times so that you can continue to function. Then later, make time to consider those things you had to set aside.

A fake threat? Sounds like a good idea.
That’s preposterous
Such a blissful comment.
It’s normal for their to be several versions of the same software in various languages.
I watched it and thought it was a great show. This bums me out.
That doesn’t mean those methods or some form of them can’t work, you just assume this is true because you’ve been given that message by those who need us to believe this for them to maintain power.
And let’s say no non-state method can possibly work at our scale, is that to essentially throw up our hands and say, “well, since intelligently shrinking our population and economy to a size that can be sustainably managed and is appropriate sized for our planet (i.e. “degrowth”) is unspeakable, and other methods we sorta tried for a bit don’t seem to work, we’ll just go ahead and continue with this known broken method until it all collapses from overexploitation” ??
Wouldn’t it make more sense to say “I want human society to exist in 100 years and for that to happen, we need to learn to live within the bounds of our planet”?
