We live in a system that isolates people and makes them fill their lives with long hours of dull work for fear of becoming penniless and homeless, while they watch this crazy consumption led by sociopathic billionaires destroying everything they love about the planet day by day. And then when people are miserable because of these problems, they receive pills and conversation (if they're lucky enough to be able to afford them) while the material problems continue. It's no wonder we're all a bit messed up.
Capitalism is shit. We're brainwashed to believe that there's only so much and we have to get as much as can and before everyone else, damn the cost, even if it's our mental health. I don't understand how we can't look at it from the other angle and say, if there's only so much, let's protect it. Let's share what we have so everyone can have fun. Let's care about everyone and lift everyone up.
No! That's communism and we can't have that!
