  • Yes. You can do the same kind of rationalizing with most stories. People do it all the time, explaining why it actually makes sense why the the dragon lady went crazy at the end of

    game of thrones

    I haven’t actually seen got but it was the first example that came to mind for a situation that didn’t totally make sense in the context of the story but people have been able to rationalize what happened to make it turn the way it did even though their explanation is not canon






    1. That’s why I included the word “fundamentally”, because uncorrupted capitalism still rewards greed. Actually moreso than regulated capitalism, but I don’t think that has worked either.

    2a. Greed isn’t just wanting good for yourself, it’s wanting more than what is reasonable. It’s unquenchable and it’s destructive to whatever stands in its way. That’s why capitalism and colonialism go hand in hand.

    2b. I would rather someone makes a product because he followed her passion, and then shared it with everyone because he thinks it would benefit others. Capitalism isn’t going to bring us into that world, it’s going to encourage to exploit it and degrade it to make a bigger profit.
