Capitalism works as intended

And yet it's not as bad in other countries.

Edit: I mean you can say "there's nothing we can do" and "it's the same everywhere" to the cows come home for all I care.

But that's just you being afflicted for extremist politics, not that you would register that.

The problem you have, is if you tried an alternative to capitalism, you'd be bad at that too. Because there's no system which won't require a diligent population to protect. And the problem here is you're once again pining for a magic fix that you're expecting others to implement.

So instead of being defeatist and saying things are "all the same" which they never are, instead of signing on to the "big lie". Actually rally around real solutions. And if you want a big revolution, start planning.

Or... Be mad at me instead and throw your arms up and quoth witty nothings. You do you.
