Your existence is made infinitely more complex by capitalism. We could just as easily be like our ancestors living off the land and enjoying a slow and quiet life but instead we are forced to do menial labor for menial wages to live mediocre lives ruled by technology and plastic junk that is poisoning our planet. We live on a dying ship that is being dismantled by the people at the head of our society, who also happen to be the richest. Hmm wonder if capitalism has anything to do with that??
