Tldr; it's all "capitalists" fault, like always

Uggh it's so reductive I'm tired of it. There's so much more wrong with us than just capitalism but nobody likes being called out or needing to take themselves down a few pegs so, let's blame it all on capitalism yeah!

The greed and selfishness rotting at our societal core is bigger than just capitalism, and we need to stop pretending we don't all need to change in some BIG ways, if things are going to start improving. Capitalism or not.

We could start by not incentivizing people to be greedy. But that would require some sort of structural change somehow. Maybe to the financial system.
