Imo, one of the most damning aspects of capitalism is that it encourages people to have consumptive hobbies over creative ones.
It actively seeks to bar people from doing things like cooking, or writing, or making pottery, or anything else of that nature. Activities in which you are making something
Things like that are made either too expensive (in terms of money, or time, or both) or framed as something not worth wasting time on, because you can't support yourself doing art/writing/etc
@Dayglochainsaw yah and when 'capitalism' encourages creative activities it always obsesses about what tools someone uses
"she can't be a real photographer with THAT camera', 'what, you're drawing and don't have the latest photoshop', always pressuring people into buying new, more expensive stuff as of course that's what makes them 'good, productive artists'
@alkahest @Dayglochainsaw Writing is awesome because, while there are a few nice tools, you can do it without them.
Pretty hard to be part of a wider community without publishing, though. :(
