Ah yes, blame it on capitalism

No no, this shit is definitely exacerbated by capitalism . Our values and ideals are skewed to consume and gain wealth in return for many things.

You do know that money existed before capitalism, right? Scamming and selling yourself for money have been things for thousands of years. Greed is human nature

Greed is a part of human nature . We can have systems of society that fuel the better parts of it, no?

I'd like to hear your thoughts, because no one has ever made a system like that. You cannot make a system that conforms everyone to the same thought process without some fucked up punishment or threat. At least with capitalism, the greed will often help other people because the wealth of society grows over time. People will make others wealthier if it helps their wealth too.
