Capitalism has always valued money over human life. It's a key defining factor. It doesn't care about humans, animals or the environment as long as it can squeeze one more buck out of whatever given enterprise. Microplastics in everything from the ocean to our bodies? Caused by the plastic industry refusing to change because it's cheaper to keep going the way they always have. Genocides and war (very deadly, definitely not helpful for creating eternal life, very bad for the environment), kept going by weapons manufacturers who'd have to shut down if we actually introduced peace and made war illegal. Carcinogenic materials and ingredients used in clothing, every day items and beauty products. Bad or insufficient quality of food, and the aim to make everything as addictive as possible so people keep buying more. Landfills full of fast fashion clothes. Health problems due to stress from unsustainable work schedules. AI. Countries that are being exploited to the bone with children working in mines and sweatshops and people having to inhale toxic fumes all day every day. The list is literally endless. Capitalism is the root cause of so many issues and the machine that makes those issues persist and escalate. Capitalism is the number one death machine.

It's so baffling to me how he seems to be knowledgeable on a lot of things but doesn't draw this final, very obvious conclusion. If he wants to stop death, he should be very loudly anticapitalist.
