    I feel like the actual “Average Capitalism Enjoyer” is someone making or reading memes online… On their phones.

    The enjoyment of Capitalism is made ambient by simply owning stuff Capitalism has produced. However here we have to say some things: Not all the systems or technology that enabled this were done for Capitalism in today’s model, and most weren’t.

    Society was a lot more creative and progressing much faster, and with more freedom before today’s system of survival Capitalism, with it’s prevelant race to the bottom morality which produces very little of value.

    Another iPhone, space ship, data center, or 5 cent T-shirt with custom slogan… These are the articles of modern Capitalism. They contain very little to most people. No one wishes to live and die for these “rewards”, thus very few of us are enjoying this.

    The memes are broken.
