Capitalism is a misanthropic, dystopian ideology. Its proponents always talk about "human nature" as greedy and selfish, which is complete bullshit that only feels true to a greedy, selfish person. But it's also a self-fulfilling prophecy that creates the world it describes.
Because capitalism cultists believe human nature is greedy and selfish, they cannot imagine any solutions to our world's problems that aren't driven by greed and selfishness. That's why they're holding out hope that we'll all be saved by greedy, selfish parasites like Elon Musk.
Someone who's always projecting their own greed and selfishness onto everyone else will scoff and dismiss the idea that we can transcend our self-destructive patterning and move into a collaborative relationship with each other and with our ecosystem. They see it as impossible.
So now here we are, with the dominant narratives of our age driving us into extinction via self-fulfilling prophecy. Which is why it's so important to do whatever we can to seize control of the narrative.
It does NOT have to be this way. Human nature is NOT what they say it is.
It does NOT have to be this way. Human nature is NOT what they say it is.
Bullshit. Absolute bullshit. I look inside myself and I do not find greed and selfishness, I find kindness, compassion, and an eagerness to collaborate. So you're not telling me about human nature, you're telling me about your own nature.

You can justify a whole lot of predation to yourself if you see yourself as just one more predator among the rest of the sharks and crocodiles.
