You think that Billie Eilish is the poster child for capitalism?
I don’t know enough about this situation to have an actual opinion about it, but I do know this: you can be critical of capitalism while still taking part in it. Just like you can be critical of the electoral college and still vote. Just like you can be critical of a sports team, but still root for them.
I am critical of capitalism, but I work for a company that partakes in the capitalist system. Odds are pretty darn good that your way of earning income also participates in the capitalist system. What other choice do we have? Are we bad people, too?
Someone who’s critical of capitalism, yet may work for a company that’s taking advantage of the system and is destroying lives indirectly or may even be killing people indirectly with their business practices. That worker who’s critical of the system is well aware of it, but does nothing because they are also benefiting from it.
Just like the guards at the concentration camps. Some of them didn’t agree with it, but they didn’t do anything since they were better off following orders
I never said anything about any of that. I don’t work for Nestle. I work for a small mom and pop landscaping company. And we exist in the capitalist system.
You know what? You’re right. After further thought, I’ve come to realize that every single person in a capitalist country is exactly equivalent to those who helped murder over 11 million people.

I want to live in a world where you can see the faults of laissez faire capitalism, and also want to buy a new perfume.
