where 'capitalism' is whatever you think it is, and not the thing that gives you fresh vegetables in the middle of winter, or creates every new thing we enjoy
if you blame capitalism for everything evil then you can point to something external, its not you but “them”, always someone else. But when you realize its consumerism and to a degree corporatocracy then you know you’re part of it, contributing to it and have to blame yourself. We don’t like to do that.
Its much more fun to cast spells on capitalism on our iPhone, go protest capitalism for an hour then take a break at starbucks.
Here is an “reduced-consumerism” idea that you label as “capitalism”; Life humbles you. As you grow, you stop chasing consumer goods and start valuing the little things and moments. Alone time, enough sleep, a good diet, long walks, and quality time with loved ones. Simplicity becomes the ultimate goal. The best times and memories in our lives were not about what we had, but who we were with.

I don't hate capitalism. I just don't want neoliberalism to destroy our entire planet with its belief in eternal growth. I also find it morally reprehensible to make a profit by destroying the environment.
Your use of tags tend to suggest otherwise, but its good to know you think more nuanced. Yes we may approach it from different perspectives but we do share the same worry, growth must be sustainable determined by mother nature and destroying our environment for profit is a huge no-no!
