    Lol it’s adorable that you think people liking having shit is due to capitalism.

    I’m very curious to hear what you think capitalism means.

      Consumer mindset and thinking of people first and foremost is brought to you by capitalism.

      We’re not consumers, we’re people. Social animals that enjoy living in groups. Owning shit isn’t something that makes us inherently happy. Just look at how other apes live. Just think about the things that make you happy.

      Endless consumption is a blight. It’s killing our habitat. It’s killing us.
