skyblock is in fact a dire representation of the insane and unfair state of our capitalist society.
many times for days on end, the commoners grind senselessly in the dragon's nest, the spruce forests, and more. the rich zoom along at 500% speed, leaving the poor and hungry in their shadows, demonstrating the cruel and harsh reality of the meritocratic ladder. some poor lads must withstand the pain and monotony of the physical labour of pearl spamming, often being paid the bare minimum by their tycoon employers, profiting double off the menial work of their employees.
in the auction house and bazaar, the unforgiving concept of the market is displayed in its finest. billions of items are transacted daily through it, allowing the cogs of the skyblock society to turn, much as it allows the cogs of ours. alas, the slightest change in the fates can make it or break it for your product. as an alarming and chilling example, the recent "pets v2" update caused the price of chicken and end stone to soar, and the price of lapis and summoning eyes to drop. how similar this is to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic, with crude oil prices bottoming out and the premium of healthcare increasing many fold. is it possible to forsee these events, and swap 15 lapis 5 minions to end stone? perhaps, but the prohibitive initial cost spooks many from daring to switch loyalties. it's almost metaphorical for the intense and risky world of business, where the value of the product you market can drop and you can do nothing about it, and few dare to venture into multiple fields where the cost of failure can be fatal and final.
criminals, dirty scum which only desire to leech and game the system to get ahead; they are present in many forms, both in skyblock and in the real world. a great and mind-blowing representation of the real criminal problem in skyblock is "14pots god splash alch 50 pots 90k entry fee /visit pewdiepie". the 14pots god splash alch 50 pots is a cryptocurrency, an up-and-coming investment. will it be bitcoin, the most value off of a single risky investment you will ever witness, or will it be schlatt coin, a sneaky exit scam to swindle your money, which most likely was made off of hours of hard work? reflect upon this, dear reader: how different is "quitting skyblock, type /coopadd NickedYoutuber to receive my gear (superior armor, 50m midas)" to "congratulations! you have won a prize of free iphone x worth $1000. click here to claim"? you are safe from the sneaky and scummy criminal practice neither in the real world nor in skyblock.
in conclusion, skyblock shares a deep and chilling message about the potential consequences and effects our harsh capitalist and meritocratic world could bring upon the human race. the similarities drawn are a warning about our profit-driven, heartless nature which will only result in the downfall of humanity.
