I know capitalism is defined by owning money, but if you have goods, like shells or wood or bread or whatever to trade to exchange it for something, there is not such a big difference? Is there any country in the world that does not run on capitalistic basics?
What i do not like is that it is used as excuse (people are so much better off with it) for justifying pure relentless greed.
What exactly is the reason for burning down rain forest to have more cattle, if not for making more money and fk the consequences for the rest of the world? Who do you want to make responsible?

I am just not buying Skybirds absolutist opinion that any try to improve general living conditions with focus on nature and environment is "bad" just because it is so cool of him to despise dumb Greta.
Wait until companies discover how much money can be made with environmental technology or 'saving the world'
