Ask these folks if they have a better idea. They never do and always fall back to capitalism, even though we’re all witnessing capitalists fuck up the entire planet. They won’t even entertain the pieces of a whole as good ideas. It’s either all or nothing. They’ve already skewed the argument in their favor because of capitalist propaganda influence.

    It never ceases to amaze me just how incapable the average person seems to be of imagining something better than the status quo.

    They literally don't though? Most people often express the need for socialist policies and embrace the "chain is only as strong as it's weakest link" mentality. What are you talking about?
