Realize that all forms of currency are ultimately a grift to allow a class of violent weirdos to claim ownership over the fruits of our labor and that we could actually just share things with each other without commerce
I can see this point, but how else do we store our spent engery? I personally don't want to be working when I'm 90 and the current only option is I have enough saved up something-that-holds-value long enough that I can pay for food and taxes (assuming I can own land)
I understand the frustration, but we are sadly dealt these cards and must play or... And there isn't much another option
100%. We all play the game because if we don't we die. The metaphor you see all the time is that the reason were all swimming in this sea of capitalism is because if we don't we drown. Our participation is not representative of consent I don't really know what we do in the short and medium term but long term we need to kill capitalism
If that's the case, that is quite the bummer, since although there are 8+ billion of us, most of us don't want to die fighting capitalism since we at least get fed (or a majority does) and those who love capitalism tend to have large weapons that cause destruction beyond my comprehension
I had a shower thought recently about how life itself is such an amazing and odd experience, and that's why we put up with such terrible things, since the alternative is not great
